DECIDED JUMP IN PRODUCTION OF
EGGS FOLLOWS ADVENT OF MILD WEATHER
Leading Maintain Positions Fourteen Birds
Laying Perfect Scores

While these figures do not mean so
much to the layman, to the breeder of
egg producers it means that five birds
laying a total of 1900 eggs in one year
is an individual average of 24O eggs,
and that out of this lot of five at least
one, perhaps two, will run up a score of
around 800, even more. When such a
score is secured it means that the flock
from which the individual laying num-
Der of eggs came has potential posi-
blities as a creator of a strain that will
exceed the 200 average so desirable for
profit beyond the financial pOssib lities
at present procurable from the ordinary
commercial flock averaging produc-
ton of IA eggs and producing fair
return at that figure.
