accelerated. Each year the tendency to digest and lay grows, because 

 habits make tendencies and tendencies in time become traits. 



We must remove every obstacle that would hinder the development 

 of this well-bred pullet from the breeding stock to the day the first egg 

 is laid. System, method, exactment and a fine adjustment pay in the 

 breeding of heavy-laying hens. 



We have made wonderful progress in developing heavy layers in all 

 parts of the world in the last ten years. The 200-egg hen is no longer 

 a marvel. We are already to the 300 mark and still progressing. Will 

 there be a limit? When we cease to wonder at the 300 hen, will there 

 be a 400-egg hen to create new sensations? I believe there is no bounds 

 in development. Evolution is a wonderful process and with the plastic 

 White Leghorn hen man can have an absorbing game in watching the 

 advance from year to year.
