Egg Laying Competition

The Egg Laying Competition at
Georgetown, conducted by the Phila-
delphia North American, in coopera-
tion with the State Board of Agricul-
ture, is attracting more and more at
tention and interest with every sue
ceeding year. This is the tenth year
of the competition and the seventh in
which it has been located in Delaware.
The primary purpose of the competi-
tion is to raise the standard of egg
production. The average hen in the
United States lays about seventy eggs
per year. The profitable hen must
lay more. The highest record made
in this competition was that Of Lady
Byzantine, of 314 eggs in 364 days.
The highest pen record of five hens is
1905 eggs per year, an average of 261
eggs per bird. One hundred pens of
five birds each make up the condition.
the year beginning on November l
and ending October 3. Any variety of
standard breed is. admitted.
These pens have come from all
parts of the United States, from Flor
ida and Texas; from Washington and
California; from Vermont to Michi-
gan; from Canada and from England.
This North American competition was
the first to be started in this coun-
try, but since that time similar en-
terprises have sprung up in the Unit
ed States and in Canada. Australia
was the pioneer, having started about
sixteen years ago. The great inter-
est in these competitions is shown by
the fact that the poultrymen Of Ohio
are asking for sixteen thousand dol
lars year for the next two years to
carry on an egg laying contest at the
State University. New Jersey has
two contests now running and expects
to start another next November, and
is asking for $150,000 for special
poultry building. The State Board of
Agriculture hopes to continue this
contest indefinitely, but may be COM
PEELED to move it from Georgetown to
either Milford or Dover,

Have Practical Work
in Poultry Raising

Friday. March 18th, the Agricul-
tural class of the Lewes High School
took trip for the purpose of study
ing incubators and brooders on the
farms of Arthur Marshall and Ernest
Magee, respectively. The boys were
much interested in a 25O egg incuba-
tor at the former place and the me-
thod of operating it, and quite as in
terested in the workings of the brood
er house on the farm of Mr.. Magee,
which is now actually in operation.
The willing cooperation of citizens
and farmers of this class in making
field trips successful helps greatly in
keeping the flame of interest burning
bright, for the class room is not the
only place to learn and an occasional
break from it serves to bring the pu-
pills back with renewed interest.

the methods previously described.
