EGG-LAYING CONTEST 
In answer to many questions about this egg- 
laying contest, the following facts are given: 
It is held at Storrs Postoffice in connection 
with the Connecticut Agricultural College. The 
contest begins November 1. There are 10 pul¬ 
lets in each pen. All the birds receive uniform 
treatment. The houses are all alike, and the 
feed is the same for all. The contest continues 
for one year. The weekly records cover the 
number of eggs laid for each pen in the current 
week, and also the total number of eggs laid 
since the first of last November. The contest 
will end November 1, at which time these birds 
will be removed, and another set of pullets 
entered for the next year. 
Week ending April 16, 1924.

A Cross-bred Duck 
What would be the result from cross¬ 
ing the Indian Runner or the Pekin 
duck? A superior Bird? J. K. G. 
I would not advise making this cross, 
as nothing can be gained by it, and the 
progeny will undoubtedly be part of each 
kind, or a combination of the two which 
would not be very beautiful to look at. 
As a rule Indian Runners lay green 
eggs, and the majority of Pekins lay 
white eggs, although some strains that 
have not been kept up to standard lay 
part of each, and by crossing one might 
expect a large percentage, if not all. 
green eggs. 
In years past the Pekins were not con¬ 
sidered good layers, but by careful selec¬ 
tion and studying types it has been pos¬ 
sible to increase the annual average per 
bird in large flocks, so that now the 
Pekins are equal if not superior to most 
of the Indian Runners, and nothing 
would, therefore, be gained in the way of 
egg production by a cross. 
As for color, this would depend on 
what variety of Runners were used. If 
White Indian Runner were crossed with 
Pekins they would naturally be white; if 
Fawn or Penciled Runners were crossed 
with Pekins there would be some pure of 
each color, the majority, or 50 per ceut, 
would be part of each color.
