White Leghorn, Property or Kent,
Wash., Man., Credited With
330 Eggs in 365 Days.
It isn't every hen that can carry
around a $5000 life Insurance policy,
but that Is the amount of insurance
placed on one of the hens that will
come to the poultry show at the Audi
torium next week.
This hen is a White Leghorn, owned
by Dr. Tancred of Kent, Wash. She
set a world's record for production
by laying; 33t eggs In 3C5 days, ended
September 16. This -is about four
times the production of the average
hen, so her value in the poultry world
can easily be seen.
Her owner consented to allow her
to be placed on exhibition by one of
the poultry feed companies, but stipu
lated that she must be insured for
$5000.
The poultry show, billed for next
week at the Auditorium, will open on
Tuesday.
The exhibit will include birds from
all the Pacific coast states, and from
I'tah, Idaho, Montana and North Da
kota. There will be a string- of Black
Orpingtons here from the big Chicago
Coliseum show.
A new feature of the show will be
a class of hens competing for a cash
prize for the highest number of eggs
laid during the week.
