If not the first, ezperl I mental poultry department ever built up n any college. He Was a pioneer in the work. Professor Dryden " was the author of the first poultry bulletins publish ing official trap-nest records. As a side line he was called on to teach stenography and typing, then as little Known as poultry husbandry. Professor Dryden's next stop was at tne vregon Agr'cultural college, where -he, has been ever since. In 12 years he tias built from almost noth ing a department that has attracted international attention. I Breeding for Eggs Stressed. Breeding for egg production is the phase which has been stressed all through. Professor Dryden early rec ognized the necessity of decreasing the cost of production if the poultry Industry was to have any future. He decided that the best wtay to cut down costs was to breed hens that would lay more eggs, and went to work to produce the hens. . . The first problem was to discover whether or not high egg laying was inherited. In a few years the ex periments showed that good layers wiu produce good layers under prop er conditions. At present the -station's flocks will lay nearly double the number In a year' of eggs that the original flock produced. " The strains developed by Professor Dryden have won more egg-laying contests than those of any other breeders. His chickens now hold the world's egg-laying records for two years, four years, five years, and the luiiB-aisiance record of 1300 eggs for one hen. The world's record of 144 eggs for a month for a pen of five was estab lished last December in an Interstate eeg-laylng contest at the western Washington 'station. The first 300 egg hen tfas produced at the college. People discredited the record at the time. Oregon Agricultural college Leg horns have been sent to every state in the union, and to many foreign countries Australia, Hawaii, China. England, France and Denmark. Many more orders have been received which J the department was unable to fill. . ' BOOTLEGGERS ARE JAILED FEDERAL JUDGE BEAX HAXDS DOWN $2 50 FIXES ALSO.
