The man was finally located and

was in its infancy, so to speak, poul-
trymen sold pedigreed birds on a
three months fall record-all history
Of egg-laying competitions proves
that safe records are not obtainable
under six months, and it also appears
that these records are practically 100
per cent sure for estimating the
probable total final yield for s65 days.
For breeding purposes a six months
record would probably be sufficient
for advertising purposes and for
honor awards competition certifica-
tion is necessary. As pure sport full
competition records are highly de-
sirable.
Another notable feature of the six
months performance is the increases
made by the light breeds, the Medi-
terraneans; this section Of the compe-
tition has come up in production to
a point where 1t will soon dominate
the production side of the competi-
tion.
It is certain now. If the same rate
of production is maintained by the
500 layers collectively that the total
output will run around the average
for the ten years preceding the pres
ent year.
The number of birds laying less
than twenty-six years is unusual and
greater than in former years, an in
dioation that outward characteristics
could not include, stamina - every
bird that is below twenty-six eggs
now plainly indicates that it is not
fit to eat and digest
enough feed to develop latent laying
capicity.

Three of the six higher scoring birds
are members of pen 2S, one is an Eng
glish bird and the other two are Amer

With the end Of the first six months
of the present competition pen and
individual scores show a fairly good
condition as compared with average
years-pen score for high indicates
that last years high will be well
within the reach of this years lead
ing pen, but the same is not true of
individual high scores; if the score
Of S13, the second high score last
year, made by one Of A. C. Jones
Barred Rocks, is reached, it will be
a record for White Wyandottes, in
this country at least. High bird,
with it's score of 156 eggs, has, at
the same rate of yield, a possible
total of S12 eggs. If, as is usual in
such cases, the heaviest layers gain
slightly in the second half of the
year over Athe first half, high score
for the S65 days will go over this
estimate of 312 eggs.
1t will be noted that no other in
dividual is near enough to high bird
to lay total of 300 eggs in the year;
present scores of birds beginning
with second individual indicate that
26O eggs will be the approximate
limit for second place, as reckoned
by past history of slight increases
in the second half of the year for
birds laying 200 or more eggs.
