EGG-LAYING CONTEST 
Vineland, N. J. 
The Vineland, N. J., egg-laying contest 
is now in its second year. The same hens 
which were reported last year are being 
tested for their two-year-old form. Below 
is given the record of the full pullet year, 
the record for the current week ending 
August 7, and the full record for this 
year. Do not confuse these records with 
the Connecticut figures, for that is a pul¬ 
let contest.

I’ricos have advanced 2c on best nearby 
and gathered white. The quality of many 
receipts is still running very tineven, as 
might be expected after so long a spell 
of exces.sive heat. The irregular quality 
of current receipts made a rather unusiuil 
demand for storage eggs.

NEW YORK, AUGUST 15, 1918. 
MILK.

in the 150-mile zone is .$2.70 per 100 lbs. 
for 3 per cent milk, and $2.90 for Septem¬ 
ber, 4 cents per 100 lbs. to be added for

BUTTER 
Receipts are quite large and broilers 
plentiful and dull. Siiles reported are: 
Broilers, 31 to 34c; fowls. .34 to ‘loc; old 
roosters. 22c: Spring ducks, 40c; old 
ducks, 27 to 2Sc. 
DRESSED POTH.TRY 
Receipts of fresh killed stock continue 
quite largo. This poultry has cost so 
much to jiroduce that it is held at liigh 
prices and goes slowly. An ordinary 
fowl for fricassee is likely to cost the con¬ 
sumer $2 or jiiore. which looks excessive 
compared with the prices of lamb, mutton 
or even beef.

grades are selliug at the former range of 
})rices and occasional lots even higher.

scant supplies of sugar. Watermelons 
somewhat highei*, as the weather has been 
very favoiaible for watermelon trade.
