International Egg Contest at Storrs Yields Record Weekly Eggs
In week five of the International Egg Contest at Storrs two Pennsylvania pens of White Leghorns took first and second. Bal lard's Chestnut Hill birds laid 45 eggs, Braeside Poultry Farm from Stroudsburg had 39, LeRevre's White Leghorns from New Paltz 37, while Merrythought Farm's White Wyandottes and Cloyes & Sullivan's Buff Wyandottes tied at 35.
