A New Egg-laying Contest 
The great success of the Vineland egg- 
laying contest has encouraged the poultry 
authorities at the Agricultural College to 
establish two more contests. It is pro¬ 
posed to locate one in Central New Jer¬ 
sey and the other in the northern part of 
the State. This is an excellent plan, as 
New Jersey, from its peculiar shape and 
conditions, is clearly divided into three 
ranges of climatic conditions. We under¬ 
stand that the Central station is to he 
located in Monmouth (fcmty. The most 
logical location for the ■Northern station 
is in Bergen County, ^fchere is every 
reason why a contest Wealed in this 
county would immediately prove a great 
success. This section frf New Jersey is 
rapidly passing into small farms, and the 
chief interest of the future will unques¬ 
tionably be fruit-growing and poultry- 
keening. It is close to New York, and 
poultrymen can easily establish a fine 
business by parcel post; in fact, this form 
of delivery is sure to be greatly developed 
in the future. The county is also easy of 
access from New York and all surround¬ 
ing territory, and great crowds of visitors 
will undoubtedly come to the contest to 
make a study of breeding and feeding 
conditions. Naturally, the location of a 
contest of this sort must become more or 
less of a local co-operative matter. The 
State will do the work, provide the labor 
and supervision, but it remains for the 
people to provide the equipment. The 
people of upper New Jersey, and Bergen 
County in particular, will naturally be 
expected to finance (his matter, to the ex¬ 
tent of providing land and buildings for 
the contest. It is one of the best oppor- 
'unities ever given the people of this sec¬ 
tion to get on the map, advertise their 
community and standardize the products 
which they can most rapidly produce. It 
will be far better to have such an opera¬ 
tion financed by a large number of people, 
rather than to make it a rich man’s af¬ 
fair. A campaign is now on to secure 
subscriptions towards a fund for financing 
this contest, and every man. woman and 
child who is interested in either produc¬ 
ing or eating an egg ought to have a hand 
in this work. By all means get into the 
campaign and help put this over as a 
business and patriotic enterprise. Even 
those who never expect to keep a hen in 
the world will be benefited by this ex¬ 
periment, because it will tend to increase 
the production of eggs and develop ,q 
great direct trade by parcel post, through 
which eggs can be promptly delivered at 
a lower price. Thus it is a plan not only 
for developing upper New Jersey as a 
farm sectiou, but also a plan for decreas¬ 
ing the high cost of living so far as it 
relates to country products. The R. 
N.-\ T . is interested in this plan, and will 
answer all questions about it. The chair¬ 
man of the committee having the cam¬ 
paign in charge is ,T. S. Binder, post¬ 
master of Hackensack, New Jersey.
