Equally interesting is the Elev- enth Ontario Egg Laying Contest where the lcadcrs Pcn 40 scored 2074.7 points to date on 2211 eggs laid, while pen 51 in fourth place with 1893.8 points for a. total of 1797 eggs has a. good chance to forgo to the ﬁonbif increased vol- um’e at the same or better size dc- vclops. In the contest during the past week one pen laid 52 eggs to score 48.5 points while the other placing pens were scoring a point or better on each egg. The lcmlcrs have an edge of 93.4 points how- ever, and at this early date look fairly secure.
