LEGHoRNs TAKE FIRST
 PLACE IN sToRRS CONTEST


 In the forty-hrst week of the lay- ing contest at Storrs the total pro- duction for all pens amounted to B. 274 eggs or a yield of 46S per cent. This is an increase of 52 eggs as com pared with last weeks production but 2lS eggs less than the six year average. Hollywood Farms pen of Leghorns from Hollywood, Vash was an easy first for the week with a yield of 55 eggs Kirkup Brothers Leghorns from Mattituck, N. Y, were in second place for the week with a production of 51 eggs. Imperial Poultry Farms pen of Leghorns from Elizabeth, N. J., and White Springs Farms's pen of the same breed from Geneva, N. Yy both tied for third place with a yield of AS eggs each. Two pens of Rhode Island Reds entered by The Orchards, South Had ley, Mass, and Mrs c. o. Polhemus, Newburgh, N. Y, and a pen of White Leghorns from James o, LeFevre, New Paltz, N. r, all tied for fourth place for the week with 2 production of 47 eggs each.

 the slackers can be taken out as they appear, thus keeping up a higher av- craze production. The poultryman who is taking advantage of the opportunity to cull is looking first of all for the ap- pearance of yellow color In any of the birds in the flock. When a bullet starts to produce eggs the yellow color begins to fade from her body, disappearing first from the vent, then around the edge of the eve ring and from the earlobe. These fade very soon after production starts The beak loses it's yellow color in per- haps six weeks or two months, fading first at the base. the yellow color disap- bearing last from the tip. Shanks fade out white after four to six months of production. The exact time required de- bends upon the size of the bird and the conditions under which 1t is kept. When the hen stops laying the yellow color returns. appearing in the same order that 1t disappeared. Any bird showing yellow color should be handled If the vent color is yellow the bird is not laying at that time.
