B. P. ROCKS AND LEGHORNs
IN TIE FOR FIST PIAC'

Barred Rocks owned by H. z. DENIM
son from East Lansing. Mich, and the
White Leghorns entered by ]. Frank
Dubois from Peacham, VT, tied for first
place in the sixteenth week of the egg
laying contest at Storrs. ach pen laid 81
eggs. W. H. B. Kent's pen of BARRED
Rocks from Cazenoviai n. Y, was sec
ond best for the week with a score of
40 eggs. A Connecticut pen of White
Wyandottes owned by Woodbridge Or
chards, Woodbridge, tied for third place
with a pen Of Barred: Rocks owned by
PurduA University at Lafayette, Ind.
The two pens laid II eggs each. Fourth
place goes to Al P. Robinson from CAL
verton, n. Y, whSse White Leghorns laid
As eggs each. The total production for
all pens was 3,2S5 eggs or yield Of
nearly AZ per cent. This Is 432 eggs more
than the average for the last seven
years. Thus it Is apparent that on ac-
| count of the health and generally good
condition of the birds in the contest their
! egg yield was not adversely affected by
| last weeks below zero temperature.
| A new feature Of the current laying
contest consists of running twenty birds
| together instead of keeping each breeders
entrly of ten bords entirely separate as
heretofore This has distributed some
Of the contestants and their friends be-
cause they have not known just what
| disposition was being made of the eggs
laid outside of the trapnest. OF course
the number Is relatively small amount
ing as 1t does to not more than four
per cent. Of the total eggs laid during the
year. On the other hand, one egg wrong
ly recorded each week makes an aocunu-
| lated error Of over fifty eggs for the
year. To avoid any POSSIBILITY Of favor
itism the management Of the contest has
adopted the following rule: Eggs laid
outside the trap nest shall be Pre-
rated accordingly to the number laid by
the two pens that are housed together
II there is an odd number of eggs tC
divide in the odd week the extra egf
shall be given to the odd numbered per
and conversely such egg on even week.
shall be given to the even numbered
pen.

principal breeds are as follows:

mas been battling in the hing. he has never
lost a referees decision, according to his
manager.
Every time the Scotch-American start
ed against foe where verdict was TO
be rendered Hutchinson was always pro-
claimed the winner That will give the
Connecticut fans something to think over
when the Quaker warrior goes against
their crack Gather weight, Kid Ka, can.
1t was in 1921 that Hutchinson came 10
the front as one of the most dangerous
artists in the division headed by Johnny
Ktrbane. Besides giving Andy CLANCY q
gruelling 12-rounder at Hartford, Hughey
engaged in many decision bouts that ear,
winning every one Of them
Hutchinson whipped Frniie Kramer IN
II rounds at Saratoga. Hughey followed
this up by knocking out Sammy Waltz In
nine round in Hartford and scored another
haymaker when he sent Louis Leonard 10
dreamland in FIVE ROUNDS ct Salem, Mass
The Phila de1phian followed up these
achievements by scoring two 12-round
victories over the rugged Gothamite, john
ny Williams and beat Larry Regain in
eight rounds.
That's the kind of proposition Ka.Dlan
is going against Saturday night and as
Hutchinson is after the scalp of the Nut
meg State champion there is sure to be
Llenty of action.

BUSINESS BETTER
THAN EVER, IS
CLAIM

Will II. Conway, manager of the Bar
bara Worth hotel, reports that the
month of March was one of the largest
business months in the history of the
local hostelry. Over 5000 more meals
were served than the corresponding
month of 1921. This fact is Indicative
of the business conditions of the I'm
perial Valley, according to Mr.. Conway.
''Our place is filled to capacity these
days and our guests are keeping the
fifty employees on the go all the time, J"
said the manager this morning. 1t is
estimated that ninety per cent of the
hotel business comes from commercial
men who are flocking to the valley and
III Centre in large numbers. The tour
ist trade is about on par with last year
and it comprises a fair percentage of
income to the hotels bank account,
Mr.. Conway states.
'Thc fact that so many more com
mcrcial men are stopping here is a
pretty good indication that times are
getting better in these parts. The
travelling men | have talked with say
they are receiving large orders from
merchants in the valley. These are
the men who are the business forecast
crs. We fellows down here ought to
feel mighty encouraged he said.
Mr.. Conway believes that the April
business will prove to be as good or
better than March,
