EGG LAYING CONTEST FOR THE FOLLOWING YEAR 



The pullets hatched and reared during the previous 

 poultry raising contest can be entered in an egg laying 

 contest to be outlined and conducted during the following 

 year, the idea being to conduct each year two contests; 

 one elementary, and to consist of hatching and rearing, and 

 the other advanced and to consist of the management of 

 adult birds for egg production. 



It should be the idea to give this movement all of the 

 publicity possible through the press and all other means. 



Each county poultry association or other agricultural 

 society should assume the responsibility of securing the one 

 hundred dollars designated for prize money, and should 

 stand back of the effort with their moral and financial sup- 

 port. The funds for prize money should be solicited from 

 interested parties in the county. Banks, newspapers, promi- 

 nent business houses, etc., will always be glad to aid such a 

 worthy cause.
