SIXTH VICTORIAN EGG-LAYING COMPETITION, 1916-1917. 



Conducted at the School of Horticulture, Burnley. 



Monthly Report (15th June to 15th July, 1916). 



The average temperature for the past month has been low. This 

 fact, in addition to the light rains which have fallen, has kept the yajrds 

 wet and cold, and has been against heavy laying among the light breeds. 



The heavy breeds right through are doing well, and demonstratino; 

 their great value as winter layers. The light breeds dry mash section 

 are also giving good returns. Taken altogether, the output is as good 

 as could be expected. Twelve of the heavy breeds and one Leghorn 

 have been broody during the month.
