Egg Laying Contest

In the forty-frst week of the lay ing contest at Storrs the total pro duction for all pens amounted to 3274 eggs or yield of 46.8 per cent. This is an increase of 52 eggs as compared with last weeks produc- tion but 218 eggs less than the six year average. Hollywood Farms pens of Leg horns from Hollywood, Wash, Twas 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. Im- perial Poultry Farms pen of Leg horns from Elizabeth, N. J., and White Springs Farms pen of the same breed from Geneva, N. Y, both tied for third place with a yield of AS eggs each. Two pens of Rhode Island Reds entered by The Orchards, South Hadley, Mass. and Mrs. c. O. Polhemus, Newburgh, N. Y, and a pen of White Leghorns from James O. LeFevre, New Paltz, N. Y, all tied for fourth place for the week with production of AZ eggs each.
 When comparing contest figures with the average commercial flock it must be remembered that all of the contest birds stay in the pens until the last of October, regardless of whether they lay or not, while in the commercial 1ocks the slackers can be taken out as they appear, thus keep ing up higher average production. The poultryman who is taking ad- vantage of the opportunity to cull is lookign first of all for the appear ance 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 eye ring and from the earlobe. These fade very soon after production starts. The beak loses it's yellow color in perhaps 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 depends upon the size of the bird and the conditions under which it is kept. When the hen stops laying the yellow color returns, ap- bearing in the same order that it disappeared. Any bird showing yellow color should be handled. If the vent color is yellow the bird is not laying at that time.

E. liar mon of South Coventry. Goldstein got in touch with the county sheriff of Holland County at his home in Eaglesville. The sheriff went to Goldstein's farm and looked over the ground and the COW. He found no clue, but will investigate further. Dr. 5. V.

MUST DISPLAY PRICE
New Gasoline Law Requires Five
 Inch Letters

To avert unexpected announce ments regarding the price of motor fuel after the tank has been filled and the automobile owner is practi- cally obliged to pay whatever sum is demanded, the recent session of. the general assembly passed law which bcame effective July 1.
 The law provides: "No person shall sell or offer for sale any gaso- line or other product intended as a fuel for motor boats or motor ve- hicles without having displayed, where 1t may be readily rseen by any person purchasing gasoline or other product, a sign upon which shall be stated the price per gallon of such gasoline or other product, which price shall include any and all taxes. The figures of such sign shall be at least five inches high and four inches wide"
 The law is especially important in view of the fact that, beginning September 1, state tax of one cent gallon is to be levied. on all gasoline sold in the state. This tax is to be collected by the motor ve- hicles department directly from the wholesale dealers, of whom there are about fifteen in Connecticut. With the new law in effect it will be im- possible for an interruptions gaso- line distributor to charge the current rate, which will include the tax, and then ask the motorist for ten or fifteen cents extra, Ito pay the tax, you know"
