State Experiment Station Wants
Poultry Breeding Farm,
Oregon Agricultural College, Cor.
vallls. Ore., Jan 31. In order to be
able to furnish the farmers of Oregon
with more eggs for hatching and cock
erels for breeding from heavy laying
strains, and thus make the state an
exporter rather than an importer of
poultry produce, the Oregon Experi
ment station will ask the present leg
islature for an appropriation for the
purchase of some 60 acres tor a breed.
Ing farm. .
' Since the establishment of the poul
try department of the station at the
Oregon Agricultural college . five
years ago. the value of poultry and
eggs produced has Increased between
three and four million dollars, ; and
this Is bound to increase further with
the activity of the station experts
Thin naturally added much to the
wealth of the state. - .
"Production is Increasing rapidly
but where will the producer come in
tf, with Increased production, he sees
his profits diminish", asks Prof.
James Dryden, poultry husbandman
of the station." We are rapidly reach.
Ing a point where the efficiency or
egg laying capacity of the hen must be
Increased If poultry keeping Is to be
profitable.
"With more productive fowls the
farmer will make more profit even
though the consumer pays more for
the eggs. By proper selection of the
breeding stock as much may be ac
complished in five years as in a hun
dred under the old methods of breed
ing or lack of breeding. '
"Domestic fowls are descended from
the wild jungle fowl of India which
laid about two dozen eggs a year.
After two or three thousand years of
poultry keeping, more than 25 per
cent of the fowls of the country are
laylnjr no more than the Jungle fowl
This fs largely because little system
atic or Intelligent effort has been
made in the breeding to increase the
utility or egg laying qualities. More
over, it is difficult for the poultry
knonar to select from the flock the
good layers.
"There Is no known way of picking
out the good layers from the poor by
any special shape or form of hen.
Some of the best looking hens arejtne fact that Oregon is a good poultry
poor producers, and some or the poor
est lookers are good producers. The
only way Is to use the trap-nest and
keep n record of the number of eggs
laid by each hen during the year.
"At the Oregon Experiment station
we have found that the variation In
nymber of eggs laid by the average
liens of nny one breed ranged from
six to 259 a year. ' Some hens will not
lay, no matter how they are fed or
cared f or. It Is a question of breed
ing. It Is not, however, a question of
breeds, for so far as egg laying goes
there Is little If any difference In the
breed. There is little purity of
breeding as to egg laying In the breeds
of poultry we have today.
"The average production of t!i
fowls on Oregon farms, according to
the census. Is 73 eggs per hen. At the
experiment station, with good care
and feeding, from the average flocks
we secured a production of 125 to 150
a hen, and about 30 per cent do not
lay enough to pay for their keep. -
"If by proper selective breeding we
can eliminate the 30 per cent. It will
mean a tremendous Increase in the
profits of the farmer. We have se
cured very satisfactory records the
past three years in our breeding work,
and during the last year especially the
effect of selection is strongly appar
ent. One pen of fowls, for Instance',
bred from hens that laid over 200 eggs
each, averaged 220 eggs in- the past
twelve months. They were all good
layers, the lowest record being 180
eggs, the highest 251. In the same
pen other pullets whose mother was
a poor layer but whose father was the
same as those from the good layers,
averaged 152 eggs.
"In our breeding work to increase
egg production we follow two meth
ods selection among our present
breeds and varieties and crossing to
establish a new breed or variety that
will excell In laying and general util
ity qualties. I beieve that in two or
