EGG LAYING RECORDS BROKEN LAST MONTH (Continued from Col. 2, Page 1) Washington and the runnerup was M. A. Lee’s Barred Rocks. The for- mer laid 144 and the latter 141 eggs ‘n the 31 day period The broken record was 134. The winning pen had a daily production of 92.9% and a monthly average of 28.8 eggs per bird. A more unusual record than the monthly feat is the performance to date of the two Barred Rocks belong- ing to Mr. Lee, which laid 31 eggs each in March. These two birds now have the marvelous record of laying without a rest for 53 consecutive days. The previous continuous perfor- mance was 40 eggs in so many days. The old record was also surpassed in March by a White Leghorn owned by Mr, Leathers. Breed records in the contest werz2 also set by a pen of Anconas belong- ing tc H. B. Wideman of Niles Michi- gan, a pen of Rhode Island Reds be- longing to Earle P. Adams of Croc- kett, a pen of Dcminiques belonging to Henry King of Greenville. The five Anconas laid 131 eggs, the Rhode Is- land Reds 126, and the Dominiques 1137. In the pen entries 18 pens exceeded the March 1923 record of 120 eggs for the five birds, and 35 pens exceeded the 100 egg mark or the individual average of 20 eggs. A total of 128 hens in the contest, more than half the entries produced 24 eggs cr more. A Barred Rock owned by V. J. Bor- iskie of Bryan is still in the lead for the duration of the contest, but two of Lee's Barred Rocks are racing the bird, one of them being only five eggs behind.
