Red Light Over Nest Spurs Egg Production STORRS, Conn. 11 Put a red light over your hen nests, and watch the eggs roll in. That's the advice of C. S. Piatt, Rutgers University egg expert. Piatt, in a paper for the 41st annual meeting of the National Poultry Association at the Univer sity of Connecticut, told how New Jersey poultry raisers did it dur ing the war. Air raid regulations blacked out the brilliantly lighted poultry hous es along the Jersey Coast, he said, so farmers turned on the dim red lights to let them see. The red light had a tendency to keep the hens longer on the nests. F.gg production rose, and since then, experiments have confirmed the red light's effect on hens.
