Graybill Poultry Farm, McAlisterville, Juniata County, has a White Leghorn pen in third place in the Pen nsylvania test with a total of 2,664 eggs and 2,858 points.

Harco Orchards and Poultry Farm, South Easton, Mass., with Rhode Island Reds, maintained its first place ranking for the seventh month. Birds from this pen by June 1 had produced 2,718 eggs for a total of 2,923 points, a point being equivalent to one two-ounce egg. Second place is held by Darby Leghorn Farms, Somerville, N. J. One new Pennsylvania poultry breeder entered the charm circle of the top 10 laying pens for the month. The Spring Run Poultry Farm of Parkesburg replaced one of the Graybill pens in tenth position Other Pennsylvania owned pens m the top ten in clude Greider Leghorn Farm, Mt Joy, 'seventh and eighth places, and L. E Tice, Hummels town, in fifth position All Pennsylvania pens enter ed are White Leghorns except the Tice Rhode Island Reds. 105 Degrees Fatal To Housed Chickens Chickens can stand 100 degree temperatures for abou|t seven houis, acordmg to a report from the Idaho College of Agriculture But if the thermometer goes up to 105, some birds will very likely die unless appropriate measures are taken to relieve the situation The researchers made these suggestions Give the hens as much fresh air as possible, spray water on the roof of the house and a fine mist inside, apply a heat deflecting paint on the roof and keep the hens amply sup plied with cool water. Poultry Center Open Tomorrow (Continued from page 6) property Foundation plantings have been made ai ound the build ing and shrubs are planted along the drive Plans for the landscaping werei drawn by Dr. A. 0. Rasmussen of Penn State. The planting, to gether with much of the other work on the building, was done by volunteer labor. Now that the Community Cen ter, which was to have been built on land directly across the high way from the Center, seems to have become a forgotten issue the association hopes that the Center will become a soit of a commun ity center for the Poultry indus try in the County.
