Notwithstanding the excellent show
| ing made by the 100 pens collectively
there are a few pens that are relatively
low in production ana which have not
shown a tendency to lay at the normal
rate expected at this season Of the
year.
Just what the reason for these low
productions are due to has not yet
been etermined-whether the cause
lies with the Individual thru lack of
hereditary fecundity or whether 1t Is
due to immaturity or lack Of stamina
will only be known as the competition
progresses.
To secure fecundity breeding along ac-
cepted lines is necessary; to secure
stamina rigid culling must be practiced
Where failure to produce stamina
takes place all other efforts for high
fecundity, high hatch ability and high
fertility will fail to produce results and
high fecundity cannor be secured.
Honor Pen Error Corrected
Because of a clerical error in fgur-
ing the totals for thirty-one days in
December honor pens were not fully
credited with eggs laid
Here are the figures for actual per-
formance Of the four pens concerned:

Both individuals and pens made in

Twelfth Philadelphia North American
International Egg-Laying Competition
at Milford Del. Total production for
Fae 100 pens Of five birds each ran over
the score for the ninth week by 80 eggs,
the tenth weeks total reaching 1911
eggs.
Pen scores ran up to % eggs for high
weekly production, pen % making this
yield. Twenty-seven eggs were pro-
duced by pen 26 and pens g. SO and 49
each yielded 20 eggs.
These increases carry both weekly
and grand totals so far ahead Of pre-
ceding years as to make comparisons
decidedly unfavorable to all other
scores in all years that have gone be-
fore in these competitions.
Twenty-seven pens laid 20 or more
eggs and three birds each laid eggs
in the week ending Tuesday night,
January 8.
One bird was added to the list of
moters while three birds had suffi-
ciently recovered to resume laying
there is a total Of twenty-four birds in
some stage of molt and not laying be-
cause of this condition.

characteristics of Birds
Each week the subjoined table will
set forth such superficial characteristics
as indicate productiveness of each in
dividual in certain pens. The character
istics are:
1. Color of face, comb and wattles.
2. Length of body.
3. Condition of feathers.
L. Condition of pelvic bones.
.. Distance between pelvic bones.
g. Distance between pelvic bones and
end of keel.
These characteristics will be nu-
bered, respectively, from 1 to in the
table. When the expression "2F'' ap-
pears, it means that two fingers can
be placed between the edges of the
pelvic or laying bones, as they ap-
pear thru slight pressure made by
the fingers. Thin or thick pelvic
bones are recognizable as indicative
of high or low capacity, coupled with
the distance between the pelvic bones

ALL FROM THE SOIL
Observation-Disclosures
'"9TV9TT.IV.99.vI.!..'

THE fields invite, but too few ac-
= cept the invitation.
It's not Gods fault or the fault of
the United States government if there
are idle men and hungry women and
children in this country. The fault
lies with the uneconomic distribution
of those who work.
When too many are engaged in one
occupation, too few must necessarily
he employed in others. If so many
are working in factories that there are
not enough remaining properly to till
the soil, food and clothing are natural
lly made so expensive that those who
live in the cities find it difficult or i'm
possible to set the real necessaries of
aife even trough they draw big pay.
OF course one must reckon with the
problem of distribution in figuring the
cost Of the market basket-and there
is a dire need of improving the system
80 that the spread" In values from
the farm to city table is naturally re-
duced. But, when it Is considered
that virtually everything we eat and
wear comes from the soil, and when 1t
Is known that little work on small
match of land will provide enough OF
the necessary goods to maintain a
family Of FIVE, it is foolish to argue
that God and the government are TO
blsme for many being out of work and
without food. Thousands Of acres Of
