Just on the 1,500 mark will be their limit, which is thirty odd eggs below his Rose- worthy win, some few years ago.

They of course have a live committee of practical breeders at the head of affairs, and in the Director of Agriculture and the Principal of the College are excep- tionally favored with the possession of two influencial and sympathetic friends.
