BURLING’S
CHICKS
WIN AGAIN
Once again, to add to our
long string of victories, our
Leghorn and New Hanip
chicks at NEPPCO’s 1958
Egg-to-Chxck Show won two
firsts out of only two Bur
ling entries.
We have won firsts at
this show almost without a
break, and hold two Grand
Championships
Since incubation and se
lection of chicks used for
showing is beyond our con
trol, this is further proof of
high quality the kind we
deliver to you
Scoring of our White Leg
horn entry, first in the Egg
Production Division, was as
[follows:
Egg Quality Score .. 89 25
Hatchab lity Score . 88.3
Chick Quality Score 98 0
Total Score . .. 92.47
There were 9 different en
tries in the White Leghorn
Class In the Miscellaneous
Class, with 5 or more en
tries of the same breed, Bur
ling’s New Hamp’s scored
84.67 points to win top hon
ors.
Old Hen Eggs Used
The eggs which we used
for this competition were
old-hen eggs, which do not
score as h’gh in quality as
pullet eggs. We have always
used old-hen eggs for this
show, which makes these
winnings all the more sig
nificant.

VISITORS TO last week’s Keystone National saw in this sprawling section of the
exposition’s exhibits the largest grouping of blooded sheep ever gathered for an eastern
show. Nationally the Exposition Sheep Show ranks in second place For the first time
m an eastern contest, the USDA developed, “Columbia” breed was entered. One of the
all-time major Southdown breed competitions was included, in the 1958 Official South
down Show. Small wonder the judging area in the center of this sea of pens above was
seldom idle —LF PHOTO
