Figures released by the Exten
sion Service at Montana State
leger Bozeman, show that a pen
of 76 Single Comb White Leghorns
hens entered in Class B flocks by
O. W. Boepple of Libby, led the
state in class B competition during
the past year.
Class B flocks are those flocks
numbering under 100 hens. The'
Boepple flock laid a total of 16.388
eggs or an average of 215.6 eggs
per hen. It would seem there is
nothing wrong with the Libby coun
