At the end of the ffty-first week
there are fifteen birds scoring 25C
or more eggs, with several near
enough to this figure to appreciably
swell the list by the end of the year
One hundred and sixty-three indi-
viduals have laid 200 or more eggs
to date; It is fully expected that at
least four birds viii be added to this
list. The record for all North Amer
lean competitions is 184 birds in the
200-egg class; the new record, which
will set up this year, should run to
l67 or more.
Out of the 100 pens only seven
produced twenty or more eggs in the
week and only two individuals laid
perfect scores.
In the matter of consistency, re-
serve bird 2, in pen 2S. stands promi-

NOTES

Some day the poultry world is go
ing to wake up on this dual purpose
fowl business with a startling sud
denness. When feathers and eggs
both appear in the right proportions
at the same time, the first beautifui
and second plentiful and both are
''fxed'' in a strain. then but until
then"
Running back few years, fifteen to
twenty, prices for poultry and eggs
show a decided increase in average
price per year. Incidentally the hen
population Of this country has grown
apace.
If the laying quarter had damp,
soggy litter in it last year, isn't it wise
to so arrange ventilation that dampness
will have no place in the six months
necessary in winter egg
Eggs are in moderate supply. New
York markets on Wednesday quoted
lS cents for nearby whites.

M'COY NOT AFRAID
 ID TELL HIS STORY
Former Boxer Speaks Right Up
 on Witness Stand

Los Angeles Dec. i9.--The sound of q gong in the county jail today sent Kid Mccoy" from his cell to- ward the witness stand in the super for court determined to win his fight for freedom on 3 charge of murdering Mrs. Theresa Mors, divorced wie Of q wealthy antique dealer, who was found shot to death in an apartment which she shared with Mccoy.
 The old legal admonition to a wit ness to tell your own story in your own way" was hardly necessary in McCoys case, for he had shown the same independent characteristics during the trial which marked his ring career when he refused to listen to advice shouted from his seconds. The Kid" is expected 10 stick 70 his story that Mrs. Mors committed sui eide in his presence, and he is pre- pared to put up the fight of his life in dodging the attempts of the prose- cution to pummol him against the hangman's rope by series of legal jabs.
 Defense testimony yesterday was confined largely to establishing th" fact that strained relations existed between Mrs. Mors and her divorced
 husband, Albert A. Mors, before they
 knew Mccoy and before their di- 1 vorce.
 Mrs. Clara D. Simpson, a friend ! of the slain woman, described "a
 terrific fight" between MT. and Mrs
 Mors in their antique shop, and Lew is S. Jones. Mrs, Mors' attorney dcs- / cribed 8 like incident.
