1st. Ranlett is doing an intensive
piece of breeding with a compar-
atively small flock, culling rigidly
against low production, small sized
eggs, and tinted eggs. He has kill
ed a number of birds which have
lald better than $50 eggs because
OF tinted or small-sized eggs, and
occasionally of poor texture of the
shell or poor shape of egg.
Ranlett has number of cock
erels from hens laying 270 eggs or
better. He will attempt to get a
still better cockerel to use with
some of the better pullets of the
flock which will be put into the
breeding flock next year. Ranlett
has given very careful attention
to the trap nesting of the flock and
we believe is getting start with
the the right kind of stock from
which he can soon develop a large
commercial flock which should
guarantee him large returns ne,
hen. We believe that Ranlett is or
the right track and that if he stays
wit h the present program that he
is bound to succeed.
