In the sgd week of the egg laying contest at Storrs all the leading pens were Leghorns with one exception. A Connecticut pen entered by w. E. At-. kinson of Wallingford was first with yield of 57 eggs. Two New Jersey pens of Leghorns entered by Gustav Walters of Vineiand and Rapps Leg horn Farm. Atlantic Highlands, tied for second place with 56 eggs each. Jules F. Francais' pen of Barred Rocks from Northampton Beach. l.. l.. and two pens of Leghorns owned by Robert C. .Ogie. Valley Cottage, N. Y. and Hilltop Poultry Yards, Suffield. Conn, all tied for third place with 55 eggs each. The tc-el production for all pens amounted to 4.04S eggs. or yield of nearly 5S per cent, which menas that every hen in the contest averaged to lay 'sttle over four eggs apiece. '
 Dur /s the next few weeks poultry men should be forewarned about losses that are likely to occur as a result of the chickens eating rose bugs and rose chafers. The only remedy is to keep the chickens away from the beetles, which means that moved fields are far better than yards in which grapevines and rosebushes are growing. Daisy fields are likely to be a special menace.
 The three best pens in each of the principal varieties are as follows;
