Secretary Laying Competitions
With the usual uncertainty attached
to egg-layIng competition scores, the
unexpected came about in the thirty
seventh week OF the twelfth Phila-
delphia North American International
Egg-Laying Competition, which is
staged on grounds of Delaware State
Board of Agriculture at Milford, Del
Leading pen came back to a near
normal output. the five birds laying 26
eggs against II eggs in the previous
week, and second pen yielding 80 eggs
against its previous weeks output of
26. Because of pen 23's big jump, it
cut down the leaders, majority to y
eggs, the two pens standing 914 and
4O2, TEi.e pen duplicated its Previous
weeks performance with % eggs.
In the second division, pen s made the
greater gain. going into sixth place
with a seven-day score of % eggs. Pen
6j made an Increase of one egg over its
preceding weeks score, and pen s6S
increased two eggs over the preceding
week.
Two pens are over 900 and two are
over SOO-neXt week should place five
more pens in the 500 Hst-it will re-
qure at least two weeks, probably
three, to get third pen into the 900 fig

when natural declines are the rule
other pens made increases and the
weekly total output shows a gain over
the preceding week.
There were fewer changes among
the high-scoring individuals, the same
relative positions were maintained thru
out the list of five hig. scorers. Seven
birds hold scores from 2O6 eggs to 1876
eggs inclusive, four birds standing 200

Bird in pen % leads; if her present
rate is continued "a 515-egg average)
her final will reach 2S9 eggs. Bird in
pen 67 will probably finish very close to
the figure set for present high bird;
bird in 81 and bird in A will also
get somewhere near the final Of bird 1
in pen %.
Seven birds laid perfect scores, but
none of these seven are in the individual
high section. Only seven pens laid 25 or
more eggs; 81 pens laid 20 or better up
