Egg Laying Contest at Storrs

In the thirty-sixth week of the egg laying contest at Storrs the 1000 hens seemed to take new lease on life by producing 131 eggs more than last week, 289 eggs more than last year and 81 eggs more than the seven year average. The total week ly production was 3,882 eggs or a yield of about 56 per cent. Ordinar- fly at this season of the year we expect that there will be a gradual decrease in egg production but for the last two weeks the hens in the contest have made a steady gain.
 The honors for the week go to the Leghorns and the Rocks with the majority of the honors going to the White Leghorns. A pen of White Leghorns owned by Eigenrauch and DeWinter from Red Bank, N. J., and a pen of same breed owned by Rapp's Leghorn Farm from Atlantic Highlands, N. J., both tied for first with a score of 56 eggs each. Francis F. Lincoln's White Leghorns from Mt. Carmel, Conn.,, and Beck Egg Farms White Leghorns from Woodcliff Lake, N. J., both tied for second place with a total of 55 eggs each. A pen of White Leghorns en- tered by George B. Ferriss from Grand Rapids, Mich, was in third place with yield of 54 eggs. Fourth place goes to pen of Barred Rocks

Oklahoma City, June Wheat
ripened slowly during the past week
and considerable rust is reported, ac-
cording to the weekly report of the
meteorological of the United States
department of agriculture.
The report in part follows:
"The harvesting of wheat was be-
gun in scattered localities in the
southern and eastern portions during
the week. Corn made fairly good
growth, but most of. the crop is very
late and much of it in grass and
weeds, especially in the eastern por-
tion where the soil has been too wet
for cultivation.
"Cool nights and lack Of adequate
sunshine were unfavorable for cotton
and it made slow growth. Most OF
the crop is very late with stand un-
even. It's condition ranges from very
poor to very good. The weather was
favorable for the increase OF boil
weevil which are reported in scat
tered localities in the south central
portion. Oats have been seriously
damaged by green bugs in many local
tiles, but the crop as a whole aver
ages fair and is heading or in the
head"

Hint At Settlement.
(Dy The United press.)

Washington, June THE admins
tration is making steady progress
toward a settlement of the coal strike,
II became known today.
A development, the exact nature of
which is unknown, has occurred re-
Gently. which has greatly enhanced
the administrations hope of settling
the strike, 1t was learned.
While those who are in close touch
with the governments plan of settle
ment would make no prediction today
OF the time of holding final grand
conference of miners and operators,
now under consideration they said
that the adjustment which Is hoped
for at that time will go further than
merely ending the strike,
II will have a far reaching pur-
pose, it is asserted, with its ultimate
aim the stabilization of the whole
coal industry.
The work is going steadily forward
by the favorite Harding means-set-
tlement through conference.
All the meetings between govern
ment leaders and representatives of
the coal industry have had as part
of their purpose the securing of in
formation, SO that the final settle
ment may include the elimination Of
some of the basic evils which have
been the cause of constantly recur-
ring strikes.
