to the selection of the males used and those wlipse sisters and daughters prove to be high producers are retained and used for a number of years the results of this simple method of selection arc very well illustrated by the following figures which were obtained over a period of eight years in 1923 there was only 37 hens with production from 150 to 225 eggs in their pullet year with nn average of 1766 in 1930 110 hens had a production from 200 to 312 epjgs and an average of 2322 eggs only those birds which have produced that number of 24 ounce eggs are used for breeding and this has reflected
