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. A pen of White Leghorns!
