BIG CHANGE IN PLACES OF HIGH PENS OF
LAYERS IN NORTH AMERICAN LAYING TEST
Lineup Expected


to this prediction lies in greater
two which do not Show ultimate
capacity Of persistency; that Is. the
birds that will not fall into broOdiness
or restperiods because Of bred-in fe-
cundlty.
Individuals show to a greater degree
tendencies to disruptive conditions than
do pens, and this is evidenced by the
frequent changes in high individual
score tables published each Saturday
in these columns. while the three
birds that held first, second and third
places last week have been punched
together in tie this week, yet next
week may find these three birds
separated by an egg or two. Since
this is the season when an egg a day
Is IN full force, high birds will not
make such decided changes as later
on, when production takes on a more
CT less moderated tone.
It is noted that in pens scoring $50
four pens Of Wyandottes. one of
Barred Rocl1s an done Of Rhode Island
Reds. In the case Of six individuals
scoring 165 or over two are Leghorns,
one Barred Rock and three WY
andottes. If seasonal influence is to
govern the finals of the light birds
against the heavy, then Leghorns will
finish first. If feoundfty Is more prom
inently fixed in the heavy birds, then
sea sonal activity VIII not carry the
light birds to higher finals. Weekly
production was lower than in the

twenty-eight weeks. Weather and
broOdiness were the controlling factors.
Pens 2 and "a each registered S2
eggs; 42 birds laid perfect scores and
only two birds in the two high indi-
Vidual brackets of three inch pro
duced an egg a day.
That there are some pens which
started slightly late and that are now
laying at such q rate that weekly gains
Wei be consistently made is indis-
pUtable, and these pens are going to
he prominent OF some marked extent
before the year ends. There is con-
siderable speed exhibited by several
pens that total below go. Some Of
these ere going along in a manner
that would suggest that broodiness and
rest periods will not be indulged in, and
if this condition, coupled with the fact
that a delayed urge is compelling heavy
production, continues, it lis natural
that greater average weekly scores are
going to result, and those pens in this
class possessed Of greater fecundity are
going to materially lessen the distance
between themselves and top scorers,
characteristics Of Birds
Eacn week the subjoined table win
set forth such superficial characteris-
tics as indicate productiveness of
each Individual in certain pens. The
are:

With a wild qeap, pen 81. White Leg

m the twenty-ninth week of the Thir-
teenth Philadelphia North American In
ternational Egg-Laying Competition at
Milfor, Del. where this egg history
making enterprise is staged on grounds
Of the Delaware state board of agri-
culture. With a weekly output of 80
eggs for the five birds making I'D this
pen, the total for twenty-nine weeks
reaches 69S and shows a lead Of 8
eggs over second pen, No. 80, which
pen also went up two places, and totals,
with Is eggs for the week, $50 eggs.
Pen q dropped to fourth place, from
first place last week; pen % went into
third place, and no wstands but one
egg below its leader, pen So. Other
changes are noted in the stepping I'D
of pens 2 and so and the downward
movement of pen %. Other changes will
take place in coming weeks. Seasonal
changes are bound to occur in the late
summer in the recovery of heavy birds
from usual summer depression and the
light birds will decrease output at the
same time after the summer peak Is
reached.
CalculaLlCnS as 70 Lne enecI on the
heavily endowed birds Is not possible
where so many pens show such per-
Eistent productivity - where highly
fecund birds are engaged in turning
out nearly even scores and where the
characteristics Of so many birds CORE
spond with trapnest performance
guesses as to ultimate standing is
made particularly difficult. Upon the
theory that all birds equally endowed
in fecundity can only suffer tenn
porarily cessation of yield thru broodi-
ness and natural rest periods, 1t is
only safe to predict that the lighter
birds from now on wfl have a slight
edge on the heavies. The only opposite
