Chart 2. Relation of House Temperature to Egg Production, 1928-29. 



The flocks included in the four years reported do not show any clean-cut 

 response in production to house temperature changes. The data do indicate, 

 however, that a house temperature near the freezing point was accompanied by 

 decreased production in three years out of four in the month of January. In 

 the summer season there is evidence that house temperatures above 70° react
