HISTORY OP ANCONAS 
ANCONAS LEAD AS USUAL. 
These interesting* figures are taken 
from the official report of the sixth 
month (April 1923) of the sixth Na¬ 
tional Egg Laying Contest at the 
Texas Agricultural College, College 
Station, Texas. 
Thus it is proven again, as it has 
been in nearly all laying contests all 
over the world for year after year, 
that Anconas produce eggs at less 
cost per dozen than any other breed. 
There is no disputing this fact. No 
other breed lays any claims to this 
distinction. It is an exclusive An¬ 
cona characteristic.
