On the Enforcement off Law, II Ia Ciit;iies..
BY BRAND WHI1LpoK. s4s# - 81

BIZ BRA AND WHr1IOl

{ The big topic of interest ITO all
] cttizens Of Duluth just now il the
strict enforcement of the laws relating
to vice and to the sale Of Intoxicating
liquors. While all good citizens stand
for! the enforcement Of law opinions
vary as to the effect Of such enforce
naent to the strictest letter on the
general morals Of the community. 3
A short time ago the Federation Of
Churches In Toledo. Ohio, waited upon
Mayor Brand Whitlock and demanded
just such a law enforcement as we
are getting in Duluth. Mayor Whit
locks opinion on questions effecting
the morals Of the people and their
relation to social conditions, on ac-
count OF his prominence as a student
and thinker along sociological lines,
may be OF interest to readers of The
Labor World. >5s~ # zfls,%
We have arranged to publish Mayor
Whitlock's views in serial form be.
ginning with this number of The
Labor World. The columns Of this
paper will be open to praise or crit
icism of his position. We print the
mayors reply to the churches Of To-
ledo without prejudice and simply for
the purpose OF helping to throw light
upon the experience through which
Duluth is now passing "

questions Of the hour. Two schools
OF thought are involved, one holding
that drunkenness ia the cause OF all
poverty, and the other just as en-
phaticaily declaring as did Francis
Willard, founder Of tho ,Woman's
Christian Temperance Union in a let
ter shortly before her death to
Stroughton Cooley of Chicago, in
which she said that drunkenness is
more frequently caused by. poverty
than poverty by drunkenness.
The mission of The Labor World
is to help make conditions among the
working classes better: to abolish
poverty and to secure for all an era
Of happiness. prosperity and the full
est measure Of liberty It thus oe-
ours to it's publisher that Mayor
Whitlock's views on vice and poverty
will prove. valuable reading for

nevertheless not quite easy after all.
I recognize, I assure you, the sin

is to make Toledo better city to live

to aid in that vast and noble move

is the most inspiring expression Of the
yearnings Of humanity today.
This is the movement toward

not rest solely upon any one person,

It is small wonder that ex-

Toledo should: obtain, because,
when the activities of, Mayor
Jones on behalf OF the people
began years ago: to menace
privilege in this town, privilege
did what it always does when
pursued; namely, it sought to
distract attention from itself by
seeking to raise other issues.
And when this failed. it began
through its, various voices, per-
sistently and. systematically, to
traduce the character OF the city.

Pay More Attention
To Mating Birds
Of Health and Vigor
See That Breeding Stock of Both
Parents Are Strong and
Vigorous.

Il is a mighty good time of the
year TO think and talk little about
our breeding stock. It is all mighty
nice to fix a pen Of breeders in the
winter or early spring that are fancy
in color and look trim and nice, with
out regard to the real strength as
breeders which they may possess
When you thing about it, It Is a good
deal of a game of chance the way
many poultry keepers do their mating
1t is such a common thing to go ahead
paying but little, If any, attention to
try TO have our breeders look healthy,
but we do not go quite far enough
and see that they are possessed with
sufficient strength to impart good
health to the youngsters. At this sea-
son or time of year, when we have
lot Of young stock on hand. we can
readily see, if we are at all observing,
which pens, or for that matter which
hens, are giving us the strong, Wig
Orous chiCks-the kind that get up
and grow from start 10 finish-or the
other kind that will not grow with
any degree of satisfaction. If they
two weeks Of their lives. Such things
are the ones we do not want to over
look in the mating plans. Just to
Illustrate what We are trying to I'M
press upon our readers, we so often
hear the warning note Of the breed
er Of experience against Matching late
chicks. That is all right in a general
way, because these late chicks are
Matched from eggs laid by hens that
are literally worn out by continued
egg production, and breeding cocker
els in these pens that are on the verge
of collapse from service that has been
more than they should be called upon
TO stand. Such "a warning is all right
for that kind of breeding, and such
breeding is in the majority, too. We
are experimenting in a small way and
have been for years along all such
lines, and we find that it takes a good,
strong bodied hen, carrying plenty Of
surplus fat TO be able to continue egg
production that viii give you chicks
that can be Matched late in the sea-
son, live and grow.
AT this writing we have a brood
of ten chicks Matched from a two
year-old r. l. Red hen that is a
strong, vigorous great big fat hen.
Her eggs are larger than the average;
to her lis mated a two-year old cock
equally vigorous. This hen is a
great layer, having laid almost con-
stantly since February. These Va
chicks are about three weeks old and
they are q marvel to look at. They
are large and long in body, strong,
healthy looking legs, broad in breast
and back, with an eye like a great
big bead They show great vigor in
every line of their makeup, and are
at least one-fourth larger than the
general run of chicks Of that age
Then we have another brood that was
Matched from young stock Of a diff
ferent variety that look like an en-
tirely different proposition.
Four Of them have died from sheer
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1913-06-11

lack Of vitality. They have always
looked like they had more load than
they had the strength to carry. They
run about with their heads low and
wing tips down almost trailing the
ground. We may be able 70 raise The
majority of those that are now living,
but it will be a hard pull for them,
and the growth that they win make
will be more than half of that mads
by the old hens chickens.
Right here is where We should stick
a pin that we may profit by it when
it comes time to do our mating next
winter or spring.
We want to be able to put to-
gether such stock as will give us the
very best Of results. If we must use
pullets for breeding, they should be Of
an early hatch and we'll developed.
Do not feed them for very early fall
egg production. Let them grow Ia.
every possible way that they may
gain strength for the spring egg sea-
son, when you will want to use their
eggs for Matching. IL your pullets are
not all strong and vigorous, Gull them
out using the good ones for breed
ers and the culls for market eggs.
Mate with these best pullets a
strong, vigorous and healthy cock
TWO years Oiu. be sure LnaL he Is
healthy and not too old. There is
no question but what II we would
take the trouble and go TO the expense.
II need be, to use nothing but hens
and cocks that are two years old as
breeders and keep it up for a few
years we would have twice the vitality
in our stock of chickens that we now
have. We would hear so much less
about chicks dying III the shell, white
diarrhoea, general debility and all
such ills that are now so much talked
OF. We must recognize the importance
Of the hen that lays the egg. 1t is
equally important as the male that
we all seem to take so much nride in
How many Of US have prided our
selves in the grand cock or cockere}
that heads the pen of perhaps a
great variety of females, particularly
in shape and type.
Let us try TO insert a new rule that
the hens must be as strong and vigor-
Gus as the cock and as uniform in
their makeup as It is possible to &C
them. 1t is a good plan to mate a
small yard of extra strong fowls for
getting eggs for our own Matching, II
for nothing else, marking them and
keeping up the line Of females from
them TO mate each year for this same
purpose. Look over your this year
prospect and see If you do not think
you need II.
