A ben may have the egg laying capacity, but without vigor she won't produce eggs. On the other band, the hen may have, vig or without egg-laying capacity. She may have constitutional vitality and lay less than 20 eggs a year. The point is that by selecting for vig or alone we won't make very rapid progress in breeding up a strain of layers. We have to Belect for both vigor and egg capacity. The trap nest enables us to do this. The ben that lays 200 eggs a year has good vitality, so that a high egg record is an indication of high vitality. It is possible, of course, that the 200-egg hen will not produce chicks of good vigor; it is also possible that her eggs may not be very , fertile. That Is another question. It is possible that very heavy laying may injure her breeding qualities; that is a de batable point. But the fact remains that the hen that lays 150 eggs or more a year has good vitality, and It is such hens that we must depend up on to Increase the egg yield and make poultry keeping more profitable. A high egg record indicates constitu tional vitality stamina. The trap nest, therefore, selects for vigor as well as egg-laying capacity. "If each state would take hold of this in earnest, I believe that in a. few years it would add millions of dollars to the profits of the poul try keeper, and at the same time help solve the problem of the nation's food supply."
