Egg Test, Passes
Half-Way Point
At the halfway mark of Tarle-
ton's 1950 Egg Laying Test, Capi-
tal Breeding Farm of St. Paul,
Minnesota, held both first and
second place positions with two
pens of'Rhode Island Reds. Among
a field of 93G competing birds,
these Rhode Island Reds led with
a total of 4,188 points for the two
pens. *
The third and fourth place posi-
tions were held by two pens of
White Leghorns owned by the Wil-
liams' Poultry Breeding Farm lo-
cated in Denison, Texas. The two
pens marked up a total of 4,071.10
points.
Capital Breeding Farm has five
hens in the top 10 liens to date,
according to results released by
W. Doyle Graves, head of the
Poultry Department and super-
visor of tests. These five hens
control the first, second, third,
fourth and tenth places. The Min-
nesota breeders only have two pens
entered in the contest.
Cross Drug Store
e * See Us For Drags
The Capital Breeding Farm also
hold first place with the high hen
of each variety and the high pen
for the month of March.
There are 10 breeds from 17
states entered in the test. Twenty
p'ens entered by 14 breeders -are
from Texas. There are'39 different
breeders. The test started October
1, 1949, and will last until Sep-
tember 22, 1950. At the beginning
of the test there were 72 pens en-
tered, 42 lightweight birds and SO'
heavy with a total of 936 birds.
The "Point System" is used in
grading the eggs. Eggs which
weigh 24 ounces per dozen are
valued at one point. For each ounce
difference either way, there is .05
point difference.
The mortality per cent 'is down
this year as compared to the per
cent at the same time last year. It
averaged one, per cent per month,
or 6.01 per eent for the first half
test last year but this year's, per
cent for the first six months was
only 3.95. -
With the test half completed, the
leading hen has neared the record
set by world champion produc-
ers. "However," stated Supervisor
Graves, "production will probably
slow down in the hot summer
months."

BELL TELEPHONE
GIVES PROGRAM
TO ENGINEERS
"Music With Your Voice," a pro-
gram featuring outstanding ex-
planations of music and speech,
will be presented to the Tarleton
engineering students on May 17,
by the Bell Telephone Company.
All engineering students will be
excused from their regular classes
from 2 to 4 p.m. to attend the
presentation.
The shooting of music and speech
through space and then having it
reflected by a mirror is the feature
of the program. According to ad-
vance notices, this is one of the
most outstanding explanations of
music and speech given to college
students.
The transistor, a device which
may some day replace the vacuum
tube, will also be demonstrated.
This, instrument, the newest mar-
vel of communications research, is
simply constructed in relation to
the complicated vacuum tube.
The transistor consists essen-
tially of two plates which serve
the same purposes as the grid and
plate in the vacuum tube, except
they are not enclosed in a vacuum.
The chief advantage of the tran-
sistor over the vacuum tube is that
it is much easier and much more
easily constructed.
The narrator of the program will
be George Brown of the informa-
tion department of the Bell Tele-
phone Company in Dallas.
Prof, Eaves Hit
By Automobile
R. L. Eaves, professor of his-
tory and emeritus head of the

After a checkup at the Stephen-
ville hospital, Professor Eaves
was released and he returned to
classes Thursday.
