the moment OF later on as the laying
year draws to a close. While it seems
to be fairly well established that pen

first at the end Of the year, still there
is ever present the possibility that
nearby contestants can overcome the
lead of thirty-one eggs which this pen
now holds On the other hand, any one
OF the field below first place and within
reasonable distance may take on a post
seasonal production streak and run at
least nearer the top. This has happened.
One case in these competitions is on
record where the leading pen was dis
placed at the last moment and lost
to a runner-Up.
These facts are cited merely to make
It plain that in eggzlayiRg competitions,
as in baseball, anything can happen at
any time to upset all prognostication

"G'BY, MA" called Norton in a
stage whisper at the door of his
mothers sleeping room, MAT is out
side waiting for me-"
'Is Nat going to have breakfast
with Philip, too?" she asked.
Eyes, and Mother" his sunny face
overcasting, 81 couldn't find the ex-
ira fish-hooks."
There is some change on the
bureau" she said, you had better
take it; you may have chance to
get some."
After he had gone she lay ponder
ing. 1t was only half-past five. Usu-
ally it was difficult to get Norton up
at seven. Nothing like the prospect
of fishing trip to stimulate the
small boys activity in the early NOR
ning," she mused.
How delightfully."- easy it had been!
She had helped him to set the alarm
clock the night before, and he had
evidently Obeyed its first summons.
He had bathed and dressed himself
without a word to anyone, and when
he had come to her room his face
had been just glowing with the joy
of anticipation.
Il wish he could feel that way a.
bout his school," she said to herself.
But on further consideration she
had to acknowledge that he was fond
Of his school. 1t was simply that he
had always depended on her, know
ing that she would get him up in
season. Not at all would he have
liked being late. She wondered how
1t would do to give him the alarm
clock and tell him that in the future
he must depend upon himself in this
matter. But she was afraid he would
not get up in time for breakfast and
she was not willing that he should
go to school without it even as an
experiment. Not being able to think
way out Of this difficulty she put
the question aside. Nevertheless,
from time to time, when she was an
noyed by Norton's '1aziness" in the
morning there would come to her
mind a recollection of his eager an
imated little face as she had seen it
on the morning of the fishing trip. |
He certainly had felt the inner urge |
on that occasion and had responded.
She felt certain that If she could
supply a strong motive for his regu-
lar early rising he would respond to
It. But there was so little for boy
to do when one lived in a fiat.
One morning after she had exper-
.enced unusual difficulty in getting
Norton up he said to her, "Ma, if
7ou go to Uncle Johns today will
Tou ask him some questions for me
lbout his radio?"
'Yes," she answered with a sudden
Inspiration, "and I will tell you what
le says tomorrow morning at twen-
y-f1ve minutes after seven, If you
re all ready for breakfast"
He grinned.
''Will you call me?" he asked.
mo-" she answered, "but you may
ave the alarm clock"
He was ready at the appointed
lme.
She kept this up. Each day she

Secretary Laying Competitions

With a big plunge ahead, pen 81
widened the distance between its fol-
lowers by several eggs and wound up
the thirty-eighth weeK Of the Thirteenth
Philadelphia North American Interna
tional Egg-Laying Competition 81 eggs
over second place holder and 81 eggs
beyond third high score.
In the meantime, pen 20 closed up the
sap between It and pen 9S, these two
pens holding equal places with total
Of $50 eggs. Pen 2 and 65 evened up
scores and each registers SS5. Pen
"a has now a total of 952 and pen 85
scores 921.
Hot weather had little effect on the
majority Of the higher-sooring pens, but
1t did have some effect on the, flock as
q whole, a decrease in output of 70 eggs
from the total of the thirty-seventA
week resulting.
In the case Of pen S5 second high,
bird lowered the pen total thru broodi-
ness. Pen 9S suffered it's loss thru
bird 4, but no reason is apparent for
its yield of only two eggs. Pen 20
forged ahead Of pens and 65 by sheer
force of production; pens and 65 sim
ply slackened pace, and there is moth
Ing reported that would indicate other
than temporary slowing down Of pro
duction. Whether or not this lessened
speed of production Is precedent to
broodiness or molt cannot yet be de-
termined. Probably a return to full |
lay may take place next week or broodi- |
ness viii have developed before the |
ind of the thirty ninth week.
There Is always the element Of un- |
certainty in Individual performance in |
any small or large collection or flock
Sf layers, and there is no way by which
accurate estimates of each individuals
ay can be made this late in the sea-
Ion. Any kind of upset or tupnovelA
san happen, and yield may increase or
decrease according to the capacity of
