The First Tarleton International
Egg Laying Contest which opened last
November 1st .at John Tarleton Col-
lege has created widespread interest
among poultry raisers throughout the
United States and this interest has
lately spread over into Canada.
The college had no idea the venture
would receive such widespread recog-
nition when the contest opened last
year. New pens are.being required
for entrants in the contest at frequent
intervals now and Professor W. C.
Hoineyer and his able corps of as-
sistants are kept employed from
morning until night attending to the
needs of the busy little hen, many of
them valuable to the owners who have
entrusted them to his care during this
contest.
The Tarleton contest ranks fourth
in the United States for the first six
months in per cent production for the
entire contest. Arizona, first; Mis-
souri, second; Washington, third, and
Tarleton, fourth.
For the last three months P. E.
Payne’s White Leghorns held the best
monthly pen record. C. C. Winters’
Barred Plymouth Rock hen has the
highest individual record to date with
184 eggs in 212 days. A leghorn hen
belonging to P, E. Payne laid 93 eggs
in 93 days also a Leghorn hen owned
by J. W. Woods of Somerville, Texas,
holds a similar record, having laid 88
eggs in 88 days without missing.
Other hens have held 50 or more con-
secutive days’ record.
More than one-half of the space
available has been reserved for the
second contest to begin November 1st.
Entries have been made from Michi-
gan. Indiana, Oklahoma, New Mexico,
olor ido, Clunula and from every part
of Texas.
Contest reports are mailed to more
than thirty papers over the United
States and Canada. One of the jour-
nals publishing the Tarleton Egg Lay-
ing Contest reports has 155,000 sub-
scribers.
Many letters of congratulations on
the records made have come from Ell
parts of the United States.
Visitors are had almost daily. Dur-
ing the last three weeks the following
places were represented among the
out-of-town visitors. San Antonio,
Fort Worth, Mexia, South Bend, Dub-
lin, Do Leon, Ennis, Winters, ’Breck-
enridge and Granbury.
Professor Hoineyer takes a great
deal of interest in the appear a noe~ef
the grounds and spends the greater
part of his available time seeing that
everything is in perfect order and as-
suring himself that the entrants are
having the proper attention and care.
The results from the contest are provL
ing his capability and resourcewulness
along that line.
During April 468 hens, or over 84
per 'cent Of the entire contest, laid
twenty eggs or more. The average per
hen reached 22.99 eggs or 76.63 per
cent. Twelve hens made a 100 pel*
cent record with thirty eggs each.
Following these twenty hens laid
twenty-nine eggs; thirty-six laid twen-
ty-eight; fifty laid twenty-seven; sev-
enty laid twenty-six; and sixty-six
laid tjWeOty-five eggs each, a total of
242'kens, or 44 per cent of the entire
contest, laid twenty-five eggs or more.
Many of the hens are making an ex-
40 days
cellent record of consecutive laying
days. Twelve hens have forty or more
days to their credit, as shown in the
following table:

Hen No. 530, a White Leghorn, be-
longing to the Southern Breeding
Farm, Mexia, Texas, and hen No. 86,
a Barred Plymouth Rock, belonging to
C. C. Winters, Stephenville, Texas,
have had an interesting race for the
last three months. In February, 530
held second place and 36 third place;
in March, 530 climbed to first, and 36
to second place, while in April 36
jumped to first, and 530 dropped to
third place. Five hens are within five
eggs of the leading hen. During the
last six months 142 hens, or over 25
per cent of the entire contest, laid 125
eggs or more each. If these hens do
not fall too low in the next six months,
there ought to be a number of hens
with a 250-eggs record on up to 300 at
the end of the contest.
At the present rate, the competition
among pens will soon be as close as
that of the individuals. The Robinson
Leghorn Farm, Bowie, Texas, is still
leading the contest, but its lead has
been reduced from sixty-one to fifty-
four eggs. This pen has never led for
any one month, nor have the hens
been on the list of high individuals,
but the whole pen is showing good
teamwork. To date there is only a
difference of twelve eggs in the ten-
pen hens. Their records are rangTVig
from 128 to 140 eggs each. Only three
pens that are on the list of high pens
for the month are on the list of high
pens for the month are on the list of
high pens to date. Thpre has been a
continuous shifting of positions among
pens, with the exception of first place.
Judging from the fact that there is so
small a difference in the records of a
number of pens, it will be’interesting
to kee the results of the race again at
the end of May.
According to the entries received ut
this time for the Second Tarleton In-
ternational Egg-Laying Contest, it
seems that it will be larger and more
interesting than the first. New con-
testants, as well as new States, ha e
reserved a space on the bapd wagon
toitour the United States among the
hens that are doing their hit to keep
their owners instead of waiting on
their owners to keep them.
Floydada—Two new brick buildings
to serve as business houses will be
completed here within the next sixty
days. Fifteen new homes represent-
ing an expenditure of more than forty
thousand dollars have either been com-
pleted or are nearing that stage, since
January 1. These bring the total build-
ing permits this year to approximate-
ly $85,000.
Post—The Post Hatchery has added
another 12,096-egg Buckeye Intubittor
to their equipment, bringing the ca-
pacity to a total of 25,000.

in the business section of Merkel, and

system at a later date.
Clouderoft, N. M.—Hon. R. M.
Dillon, Governor of New Mexico, will

regional gathering calls together dele-
gates from almost a score of Eastern
New Mexico towns.

made on Slaton’s paving program
which embraces work on seven blocks.
Other paving to follow this project is
being talked of and funds are avail-
able for this purpose.
Lubbock—The Lubbock Chamber of
Commerce is making elaborate pre-
parations for its sixth annual “Trav-
eling Men’s Stag Party and Jubilee”

gram has been arranged for the event,
and plenty of entertainment is being
provided for.
Alpine—Senor L. Guiterrez Otero,

the West Texas Chamber of Com-
merce which is to convene here July 4.
The annual Cowboy Roundup and Old
Settler’s Reunion of the Big Bend
country will be held in connection with
Ilia- regional meet. Another attrac-
tion will be that the distinguished
personnel of the West Texas Chamber
of Commerce motorcade party to the
resort section of the Davis Mountains
and Eeastern Now Mexico will attend
in a body.
Woodson—The Woodson Chamber
of Commerce, in co-operation with the
Throckmorton Chamber of Commerce,
has voted to establish mileposts on the.
State highway leading from the city,
on which advertising and road direc-
tions will be placed. This is in line
with the road marking campaign
sponsored by the West Texas Chamber
of Commerce.
ZANE GREY WESTERN HAS
HOLT AND HIGH ROMANCE
A fascinating love story spun
against the background of the far
west, with some of the most sp’ectacu-
lnr scenic effects ever recorded by a
camera. That’s “Man of the Forest,"
a Paramount picture from Zano Grey’s
novel with Jack Holt, Georgia Hale
and El Brendel in leading roles, which
opens at the Majestic Theatre next
Monday.
This western narrative of adventur-
ous romance has been treated by the
director, John Waters, who also made
“Born to the West” and “Forlorn
River,” in refreshing fashion. Of ob-
sorbing interest, the production is not
dependent on freak horseman or
marks-manship or an exaggerated
theme of conflict, but instead, pres-
ents a plausible romance in which the
wilderness background is only inci-
dental.
Holt offers Another splendid char-
acterization in the title role. Georgia
Hale, jnaking her first appearance in
an outdoor picture, enacts the heroine.
A fine vein of comedy, developed by El
Brandel, who scored heavily In “The
Campus Flirt," is carried with deft
directorial touch.
Warner Oland makes a thoroughly
detestable villain as the man who
schemes to defraud Miss Hale of her
ranch and claim her love under false
pretenses. Incidentally, the theme of
his conflict with Holt is developed in
splendid fashion.
Made in the high mountains of Cali-
fornia, the scenery is inspiringly
beautiful and would make the picture
F7 ;.
above the average even if the praise-
worthy efforts of an excellent cast
were nbsent. Tom Kennedy, Ivan
Christie, Bruce Gordon ‘and Vestcr
Pegg are numbered among the hard
ridel’s.
