Now -comes Eric Se, Flowerdew,another' native of Bag - land, :;whose pen . of White Leghorns has. just carried off the honors in the Canadian egg°laying 'contest at Otta- wa, a Contest open to all the world and consisting this year of 80 pens. Flowerdew first came to Canada about 1912 and after a. short period on Vancouver island, joined a fruit farming' colony which had been estab- lislied'near Ashcroft, British Colum- bia. When the war broke out he and his. brother, Gordon, together with /erecticallythe entire male popula- tion of the little settlement, enlisted, His brother was mortally wounded early in the war, being posthumously awarded the V.C. for exceptional ,bravery. Eric Flowerdew was him- self severely wounded- Returning to Canada with kis English bride in 1919, he took up land under the Soldier Settlement Scheme at Gogh- lan in the Fraser valley of British Columbia, and, despite the fact that neither he nor his wife'had any prec- teal knowledge of poultry, he has been very successful, Starting with a few hundred day-old chicks, he no has a flock of several thousands an has shipped birds of his own breed ing to all parts of Canada and mane points in the United States. Hi. original breeding stock was obtainer in British Columbia and the birds ii his pen at Ottawa were all bred b him, They are all single -comb Whit, Leghorns of April and May hatches and all badstarted to lay before their departure for Ottawa. Several a them are second generation birds, In the 19261-26 contest at Agassaz famous for its many world records the Flowerdew pen finished third with a score of 2,932 points for 2,59_ eggs, not a bird in the nen, including substitutes, having laid an egg less than 24 ounces to the dozen.
