production Of high quality pullets
which will develop into profitable
layers. According to County Agent
Russell E. Wilson there are four
teen poultry farmers to date in
Kent County who are cooperating
with the extension service in this
campaign for better pullets, and
these fourteen farms represent a
total of 15,037 chicks started, all
of which are of the White Leghorn
breed. Records of the mortality
losses in this number of chicks dur
ing the first eight weeks indicate
that 1886 have either died or pene
killed, resulting in loss Of 1913
percent With the exception of
cocciodiosis which developed in the
majority of these fiocks when the
chicks were between five and six
weeks of age, the birds on these
farms are in good condition, and
these flock owners are giving care
full consideration to those factors
which will help them to raise the
best layers possible this year. Dur
ing the early fall season these CO.
operators, and others who will be
secured in the meantime, will be
visited again by the county agent
for the purpose of securing COM
plete reports on the general condi-
tion of the flock, and the practices
which these poultrymen followed.
These records will be tabulated and
summarized report prepared
showing the results of this project
for each county and also for the
state as a whole, and in this man
ner it will be possible to determine
the results which have been OBJ
tanned in this phase of the poultry
improvement program for 1882.

PARKER BEATS LOTT
FOR ANOTHER TITLE
Youngster Takes Canadian Honors
by Conquering Former Davis
Cup Player in Four Sets.

OTTAWA, Ontario, July 30.-Frankie
~ Parker, Milwaukee's boy wonder of
the tennis courts, again was the
master of George Lott today as he de-
feated the American Davis Cup veteran
in the final round of the Canadian
championships The scores were 2-6,
6-1, rs, So.
In defeating Lott for the third time
this season, the 16-year-old boy was
complete master Of the situation after
dropping the first set. After a bad fall
in the third set, Lott apparently gave
up all hope Of winning, playing listless-
ly thereafter.
The match was well contested for the
first two and the greater part of the
third set, Lott romping through the
opening match with little trouble, and
Parker the second Just as easily. The
retrieve tied at sail in the third, when
Lott fell trying to retrieve hard driven
shot down the sidelines, twisting his
ankle.
Refusing Parker's offer to rest, Lott
finished out the set, and after the
scheduled rest period made little effort
to win the fourth set.
Helen Fulton, Chicago city champion,
who was eliminated from the woman's
play yesterday, came back to win the
Canadian junior singles title, defeating
Claire Walsh Of Toronto, Go, 81.
