236 MAINE AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION. I9I4. 



In closing conviction may be expressed that the plan of breed- 

 ing for Qgg production set forth, which involves nothing in 

 principle or practice which any poultryman cannot put into 

 operation, will not fail, if consistently and intelligently followed 

 for a period of years, to bring about a material increase in the 

 productiveness of the flock. The evidence which leads to this 

 conviction is the best of all evidence ; the plan has been tried 

 and it works.
