HEN SELECTION AND
BREEDING IS BIC
AID To PRODUCTION

At the California Farm Bureau egg
laying contest last year a Barred
Rock hen laid 324 eggs. This is from
a flock of BRED today" hens from
the Oregon experiment station. For
ten years pedigree breeding has been
practiced on somewhat the same plan
as at the Beltsville government sta
ton and at the station at Glendale.
The grandmother of this hen laid
303 eggs in her pullet year. She
traces back to a considerable num-
ber of hens that have laid well over
200 eggs.
The eggs which this remarkable
bird laid brought $12.15. or an aver
age of As cents a dozen. She ate 40
pounds of mash and 40 pounds of
grain. 8 pounds of shell and pounds
of grit. Kale and green barley was
the winter green feed and red clover
in summer.
Another achievement of this sta
tion was a pen of 20 Barred Rocks
that were trapnested for six years.
The average production for the first
year was 235 eggs. A gradual de-
crease occurred until the sixth year,
when the production was 107 eggs,
which is considerably above the
average for farm flock.
What Figures Show
John c. Burtner in writing of this
egg laying stock of the Oregon sta
tion, says: These figures indicate
what could be expected in increased
production and longer living flocks,
if poultrymen in general would prac-
tice selection and breeding of best
to-best.' The average poultryman
cannot trapnest his flock the entire
year, but it has been found that trap
nest records taken for the best two
months-March and April--give a
fairly accurate estimate of a hens
laying capacity. 1t is important to
select the best individuals each year,
Arizona republican., 1922-06-18

''Thus it appears that egg produc-
ton was in direct ratio to the amount
of feed consumed by those hens
In the Record of Performance for
Poultry established by the Canadian
government, it appears from the re-
port for the past year that of the
7511 birds entered by breeders, 80
per cent qualified for official certlfl-
Gates of performance by laying not
less than $50 eggs in So weeks, COM
pared to IL per cent that quallffed
the preceding year. That large IN
crease in efficiency of one year over
the preceding year must have been
due to feeding, selection and man.
agement. 1t could hardly nave been
due to the slower process of breed
ing.
"Unquestionably too many rash
claims are being made for superiority
of ability to breed for egg produc-
tion. Enthusiastic new breeders may
assume that they have laid down the
judging stick by which the breeds
were built in the long years of the
past, to- pick up the magic wand of
utility selection, but let them remem-
ber that breeding is a subject to live
with. Is not what they are accom-
plishing due more to feeding and
management which can be duplicated
by anyone working under similar
conditions?
Kept Their Heads
THE old breeders never went off
on a tangent from the normal cycle
OF egg production and paid fabulous
prices for phenomenally high layers.
Such birds have been appearing in
flocks for years. Back in 1S4S, a &Ir.
ie 70 ha a
Cochin China which laid 120 eggs
in 125 days. There is no record of
said gentleman having made history
as constructive breeder.
in domestic hens we have an
every day application of these two
conditions: First. an abundant food
supply; second, the systematic rob-
bing of the mother hens nest. This
last point is not theory. When Prof.
Patterson was in charge of the Mis-
souri, poultry station, one of the ex
periments demonstrated that even a
nest egg exerted an influence in
promoting broodiness. which is al
ways followed by a cessation of egg
production.
Did early man. limited in knowl-
edge of heredity, recast that original
type into domestic fowls of greater
usefulness, by controlling its heredi-
tary tendencies, or by feed and man
agement
More power to the instructors
who are preaching better housing
and balanced rations! More sales to-
the makers of mash feeds. To them
belongs a large part of the credit
for the uniformly good production
that even beginners are today OBJ
tanning.
Response Remarkable
"Poultrymen who have culled out
Arizona republican., 1922-06-18

for even in well-bred flock having
high average production the vari-
alton in individual hens is great"
This is one side of a long story
the breeding side. What, might it be
presumed, would this or any other
IF these pedigreed bred to- lay"
hens have done had they been fed a
ration which is not conducive to egg
production? Such, for instance, as
the grain ration fed to those highly
bred pedigreed hens at the Glendale
station last year. A little quiet re-
Election must convince any one who
thinks that two things are essential
breeding and feed.
Here is another viewpoint, not con-
Trajectory. but a warning as it were.
It is from an editorial in the Ameri-
can Poultry Journal. from which
publication, by the way, was made
the quotation above from special
