Secondary LAYING Competitions

Warmer and clearer weather and
spring in its approach to fullness ran
up production in the twenty-third week
of the Twelfth Philadelphia North
American International Egg-Laying
lCompetition and shows a gain over last
week in number of eggs laid. High
pen increased it's lead and high individ-
ual laid every day of the competition
week.
While the weekly output is not a very
great number of eggs, it does indicate
that greater production will come with
favorable conditions.
Outstanding as feature Of the cur
rent week is the score made by leading
pen, 80 eggs, the highest weekly yield
made by any pen in the last three COM
petitions. Two birds in this pen laid
seven each and the other three laid six
each. This yield gives pen 81, S. c..
Prices White Leghorns, total of 554,
or a lead of just % eggs over second
pen and 5 eggs over third pen. Pen g.,
however, is not the only pen that made
/ high weekly score; pen %, third pen,
laid 2S eggs; pen n laid 20 eggs and
pens Sc and &C also laid 2S eggs each.
Pen G. ran up its score to a tie with
pen 80 for fourth place, producing q
eggs in the week, while the latter pen
yielded % eggs.
This week Is the beginning of hot
race between a half dozen pens that are
in the six places from top down. Just

HIGH PEN INCREASES LEAD IN THE 23D
WEEK OF LAYING CONTEST IN DELAWARE
Leading Individual Yields Seven Eggs for Current Week. Making Her
Total 40; Expectations Place Final Above 800

what changes will take place cannot
even be guessed at now. 1t is a fact that
changes will occur in this competition
in the present relative positions of the
leaders, but it looks as if there will be
changes because the present higE rate
of yield with some of the pens around
the top may not continue and steady
performance may win for some one of
those pens that are now and have been
less given to some degree of squirting.
It is fairly safe to reckon that the
three pens now above 500 eggs will run
over 1000 each by the end of the year.
and it is safe to guess that few OF
those near the 500 mark will reach 1000
pens above 40 can and will go over 800
before tie half year is finished and a
number of those around 450 will I'M
doubtedly reach 500 by the end of the
twenty-sixth week. AS a blanket esti-
mate only an accident can keep pens
IS, 81, Al, &c, SO, s, So and 80 from going
over 500 in three weeks.
In the case of high birds only one can
reach $50 by the end of the twenty
sixth week, bird 1 in pen As. This bird
scores. at the end of the twenty-third
week, 14O eggs, therefore, she can safely
be estimated to score ten eggs in three

weeks to raise her total to $50, or at
the rate of 300 in the year.
This is not true, so far as the first
half of the year is concerned, in the
case of second bird; bird 1 in pen, Is
now has total of 125 eggs-if she lays
IS eggs, or 6 a week, in the next three
weeks she will total 49, or at the rate
of 2S6 eggs for the year.
In the case of first bird there is every
probability that she will lay at least
IS eggs in three weeks, rather than 10
if she lays IS eggs her half yearly score
will be 1853 eggs, or at the rate of 3l6
eggs for the fifty-tWo weeks.
Ten birds laid eggs each; gain for
the week was SIS eggs; % pens laid 25
eggs or over in the week and As pens
laid % and over below %, total of II
pens laying from 20 to 80 eggs.
