The  second  half  of  the  contest  year 
commences  with  this  week,  and  the  num¬ 
ber  of  eggs  laid  is  4,8!>4;  51  more  than 
were  laid  last  week.  More  eggs  are  laid 
usually  in  the  second  half  of  the  contest 
year,  than  in  the  first  half,  iaist  year 
there  were  28,510  more  eggs  laid  in  the 
last  2G  weeks  than  in  the  first.  As  this 
year  the  hens  have  laid  7,370  eggs  more  in 
the  first  26  weeks,  it  certainly  looks  as 
though  a  record  production  might  be  ex¬ 
pected  when  this  year  closes. 
The  White  Wyandottes  “made  in 
America”  arc  on  top  this  week  with  both 
the  weeks  and  the  total  to  date  records. 
Obod  G.  Knight's  pen  laid  58 — the  high¬ 
est  score  for  the  week,  and  this  brings 
their  total  up  to  1.180.  or  10  eggs  ahead 
of  Tom  Barron’s  Wyandottes,  which 
have  been  the  leaders  until  now.  Two 
pens  of  It.  I.  Beds  tie  for  second  place: 
they  are  Springdale  Poultry  Farm’s  pen 
from  Connecticut  and  Pinecrcsf.  Orchard’s 
pen  from  Massachusetts.  Barred  Itoeks 
from  the  Oregon  Agricultural  College  are 
third  with  a  score  of  56;  28  pens  laid  50 
or  over.  A  year  ago  Barron’s  Wyan¬ 
dottes  at  the  end  of  the  twenty-seventh 
week  had  laid  1.021  ;  this  year  in  the 
same  period  they  have  laid  1.179.  At  the 
Newark,  Del.,  contest.  Barron’s  White 
Wyandottes  have  laid  601  (five  birds) 
beating  by  two  eggs  the  score  made  by 
Lady  Eglantine’s  pen  last  year  at  same 
date.  The  individual  high  score  is  held 
by  a  White  Wyandotte  from  Manila, 
Philippine  Islands;  record  148  eggs.
