Here’s Your Egg Size
Conversion Table For Dollars
On October 14, 1957 a flock laying 72% and producing all
“Large” Eggs, brought in the same gross income as a flock
laying 104% and laying all “Mediums”; and the same as a
flock laying 149% and laying all “Pullets”! Notice that small
egg strains do all right in the spring and will rum you in
the summer and fall. Obviously, no flock lays over 100%.

Random Sample Tests show Babcock Bessies will lay about 82%
to 85% large and extra large eggs for a year of lay. Also Bessies
are a good 15 months layer. During the last 6 to 9 months about
94% of their eggs are large and extra large.
Check the above table again and you will see why it pays to
raise birds that come into large egg production early, and keep on
producing large eggs You might as well raise a profit layer
while jou re about it.
Now is the time to order Babcock Bessies. Phone us collect, and
we will book your order today.

Jamaica, Just a Few Hours Away
(Continued from page one)
Spanish means butter, or more
properly, lard, to recall the tons
and tons of fat that once were
shipped from this port. Just east
aw ays is the blackened ruins of
Rose Hall, a plantation home
burned in a story of witchcraft
intrigue many years ago, but to
day the plantation still operates
as one of the leading sugar pro
ducers.
Mountains are wild as you fly
comparatively low over a corner
of Cockpit Country “the Dis
trict of Look Behind” where
fugitive slaves years ago fled and
established their own closed state,
now inaccessible and, some say,
inadvisable to the visitor. Peaks
are sharp. Tiny homes cling to
mountainsides. Patch work fields
hang almost perpendicular
against the mountainside. Smoke
trails up from a cook house, and
roads or trails sinuous as a snake
wander along hillsides. Here the
Connie flew a crooked course,
slaying comparatively low, fol
lowing valleys over the Blue
Mountains until soon the port of
Kingston apears The plane flies
parallel to Kingston’s main
street, and lands on the single
concrete strip that is Palisadoes
Airport a peninsula of land
extending into the bay. It’s Sun
day afternoon. Behind the 1 fences
are throngs of people on a Sunday
outing. Gilmore recognizes his
family waving at the plane.
It’s a quick trip through cus
toms, inquiry as to your place of
birth, your address in Jamaica,
your length of stay. Fortunately,
I had spotted Mitch Cubberley,
New Jersey engineer whom I met
a year earlier in Charlotte Ama
lie, St. Thomas Virgin Islands,
for a policeman stopped me at the
exit, asking if someone was there
to meet me. Police in Jamaica
wear a colorful uniform: blue
trousers with red stripe, a red
cummerbund or sash topped by a

Sometimes the white pith helmet
is substituted.
Although no explanation was
given of the extreme caution
shown here, others we met on
the trip including Amelia Lob
sen? of New York City and Nino
Cairone of Perugia, Italy told
of tourist and civilian curfews
on the island of Haiti where sim
mering revolt punctuated a
night’s sleep with gunfire But
there’s peace on Jamaica, a peace
that has lasted many years
Kingston is not too appealing
as a -tourist-spa; - its beaches are
almost non-existent, its coast
rock and lacking in sand How
ever, mineral baths along the
highway attract hundreds.
Through the main section of town
to Hope Road leading to the agri
cultural experiment stations and
famed Hope Botanical Gardens,
it was arrival time at Courtleigh
Manor a former huge residence
converted to a hotel with mod
ernistic wings overlooking an ex
cellent swimming pool. An open
terrace served as a dining room,
and beautiful green lawns pro
vided putting courses for those
inclined to golf.
Airlines and crews patronize
Courtleigh Manor heavily, and it
was here we met Miss June Wal
lace, British West Indies Airline
stewardess who is a native of
Trinidad. Canadians, Tnnadad
lans, British the English langu
age became increasingly multi
toned Miss Wallace’s knowledge
of calypso English served well in
haggling with bamboo vase mer
chants under a gigantic rooted
cotton tree on the road to Spanish
Town Lower and lower went the
prince in a flurry of calpso Eng
lish, until the defeated native
complained, “But lady, you’ve al
ready drooped me down a dollar.”
June’s father, she explained, is
a semi-retired plantation opera
tor on Trinidad, keeping active
with planting of citrus and cocoa.
“There we have to depend mostly
on frozen imported meats,” she
explained, telling of the island
farther to the south.
Near Spanish Town once
the capital of Jamaica, now a vil
lage we almost missed in driving
through acres and acres are
planted in banana and pineapple
by the United Fruit Co., and at
the moment banana harvest is
well underway. Breadfruit, a
staple in Jamaican diet, grows
freely.
But most interesting of all on
Jamaica may well be the silk cot

we’ll go through the environs of
Kingston, to a calypso night club,
up and over the Blue Mountains
famed for coffee.
Of course. And he comes by it naturally. For fwo of his greatest
heroes are John Deere men —Dad and Granddad.
Th*t’s why your young on« will take such pride in owning
and riding a John Deere Tractor-Cycle—the toy tractor that
looks just like the new John Deere Model “60" —that’s built
to take the punishment'that young
sters are bound to put it to. II
That’s why your boy or girl will de
light in the John Deere miniature
line, too—the tiny scale models yjm
shown below that actually have
functional parts and that bring a note
of realism to the toyland farm.
Order early in time for Christmas.
