Thebreeds selected for observation were White Wyandottes(33 pens); White Leghorns (32 pens); Ehode Island Eeds(8 pens); and Plvmouth Eocks (8 pens). Each pen containedsix pullets. These birds were carefully selected from muchlarger flocks, which had been bred with a view to early Size of Egg in Relation to Average Production. [Apr., CO
