LamOn, senior pOultryman of the bu-
reau of animal industry, and at the
suggestion of the chief of that bu-
reau Secretary Wallace named the
breed Lamona, for the originator.
The new fowl possesses character
istics of great merit. 1t has sufficient
size to fit the demands of the great
number of consumers who want bird
weighing four to six pounds. The
body is long and of good depth, CIV
ing a large amount Of the highly de-
sirable breast meat, and at the same
time large capacity for the reproduc-
tive organs.
The Lamona fowl is larger than the
Leghorn, approaching In size fowls OF
the American class. 1t is white, which
is most desirable from the market men S
viewpoint 1t has q comb and wat
ties of medium size which are not cas-
lily frosted, thereby checking develop
ment of egg production.
Foundations of New Breed.
The project resulting in the creation
1912, when the idea was conceived of
combining three varieties of fowls to
produce breed having the shape and
the market qualities of the Dorking,
with a yellow skin, white plumage
and four toes, and laying white egg
A ow-stationed, close-feathered White
Plymouth Rock male was mated to
a Silver-Gray Dorking female; and d
Single Comb White LeghOrn male, hav.
ing rather small, low comb, was
mated to a Silver-Gray Dorking fe-
male.
The second year the offspring OF
| these crosses were mated separately
the females being trap-nested, and
only the high producers Of the largest
and whitest eggs were used for breed
ers. Only males from high-prOducine
| females have been used at any time
The third year the results of the
crosses of the second year were mated
/ and in addition, care was taken t.
select white specimens with yellow
skins having only four toes. Since
then it has been task Of careful Sc
lection and breeding.
