Babcock Bessie
Has A Place
On Your
Poultry Farm
Why don’t you consider these factors when planning
your next batch of chicks. Babcock Bessie is a real top
commercial layer.
SIZE OF BIRD: At First Egg About 3.5 lbs.
At One Year of Age 4 4 to 4.7 lbs
FIRST EGG: This varies with time of year
hatched Bessies are a little slower to
mature than some other strains.
RATE OF LAY: Under ideal care Bessies will peak at 88%
to 93%. Flock averages for 12 months of
lay run 235 t0'270 eggs per bird housed.
PERSISTENCY: Very long winded layer 14 to 15
months continuous high lay. Production
gets down to 60% to 55% at end of 15
months.
DAYS TO
EGG SIZE: Excellent First twelve months of lay will
usually run 82 to 85% large and extra
large From fourth month of lay on egg
size will run 92% to 95% large and extra
large Very few double yolked eggs at
anytime
EGG SHAPE: Just about right m our opinion
SHELL COLOR: Chalk White
SHELL STRENGTH: Good.
BLOOD SPOTS; Low very satisfactory '
ALBUMEN QUALITY: Good
PERCENT “A” ’S AND “AA” ’S: As shown by egg grading
stations usually over 95%.
PLEAST NOTE: No bird that has laid heavily 12 to 15 months will
lay a beautiful, strong shelled egg with high interior quality Bab
cock Bessies will lay a fine egg for about 12 months, but after that
their egg quality will go down hill

TREAT GLADIOLUS
CORMS THIS FALL
Gladiolus thrips go through the
winter on the corns in storage.
These insects move from the
foliage to the corms in the fall
while the corms are still in the
ground.
Injury to the corms, -in stor
age, can be prevented, says As
sistant County Agent Frank E,
Bortz, and a source of infesta
tion for next season's crop can
be stopped, by treating the corms
with an insecticide before they
are stored for winter. Infested
corms are dark reddish-brown in
color with a corky, rough sur
face, and may be sticky from
sap oozing from the ruptured
cells
Treat the gladiolus corms this
fall with a 10 per cent DDT dust,
or a four per cent malathion dust,
or a two and one-half per cent
heptachlor dust. Do this after
th ecorms are dried and cleaned
but before they are stored. Use
one ounce of dust to each bushel
of corms. This is approximately
one and one-half tablespoons of
dust to each peck. Sift the dust
on the corms in open trays or
apply in paper bags.
