S.C li m ^ lost is amatter of\your own qoTWenience 11 /. , - / The egg production this year indi cates that instead of the 1926 record of two 300-egg hens, there will be ten for 1927. Should the prediction come true, it will be the largest number of 300-eggers ever assembled in any sin gle contest at one time. Mr. Gannon in commenting on the low mortality of the birds states that with the exception of the alternates sent in with the pens, an additional replacement had been allowed. In spite of this disadvantage the contest ranks sixth in the United States in j ~ average egg production and has a mor-, tality of only 10.5 per cent which is . unusually low for a contest of this ISE kind. This is lower than last year’s | riE mortality which was the lowest of any contest reported.
