BERNSTORFF WILL
CALL ON WILSON
TO BRING MESSAGE
1t Is Understood German
Ambassador Will Deliver
Personal Letter From
Emperor to President

Long Branch. N. J., october 4-Count
Won Bernstorff, German ambassador to
the United States, will call on President
Wilson here next Monday, it was an
western tour. 1t is understood the am
bassador will present to Mr.. Wilson a
person letter from the German EN-
peror replying to autograph messages
sent by the President to the rulers of
several European nations urging that a
method be agreed upon for getting re-
lief supplies to starving people in Po-
land
1t has been reported that the German
reply does not tend to bring about an
agreement The entente allies have taken
the position that they will allow the ship
ment of supplies to Poland if food al
ready there is not shipped out nor utilized
by German and Austrian troops This
position has not met with favor from
the German and Austro-Hungarlan gov
ernmentS.
1t is probable that when all the re-
plies to the Presidents letters have been
received the correspondence will be made
public.
The. contemplated visit here of Count
Won Bernstorff revived reports of pos
sible moves for peace in Europe or of a
resumption of Germans submarine war
fare. Ambassador Gerard now is on his
way home from Berlin. So far as it
had been established tonight, however,
the coming of the German ambassador
to Shadow Lawn has no connection with
either of these reports

WHY NOT GROW PURE BRED
FOWLS ON EVERY FARMf
ROY H. WAITE,
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.

Maryland poultry raisers make
practice of mixing their breeds. They
use one male this year, get a male
bird of an entirely different breed next
year, another the year after. unth
finally the flock gets to look as If 1t had
been struck by lightning. Nothing
could be worse for the poultry in
dustry than this hit or miss breeding
You get stronger, healthier fowls, you
say. Let us see why you do. When
you breed from two birds that are IN
any way related you increase the
chances OF perpetuating any defect
which they may both have. Being re-
lated the chances that they will both
have the same defect are increased.
When you cross two breeds or varie
ties the chances of breeding birds to
gether both with the same defect OF
fault are greatly diminished. This
then is the only plausible reason for
breeding a mixed mongrel flock. Let
us see what it costs us to do this. Let
us see how much we gain or loose In
the long run.
1. A good strain Of pure bred will
lay more eggs.
3. Eggs from pure bred will be
more uniform in size, shape and color.
3. A pure bred will make better
appearance on the market.
4. The carcass Of pure bred will
make q better appearance on the mar.
ket on account of uniformity Of size.
shape and color.
5. Breeding stock Of pure bred
can often be sold to advantage.
8. You cannot help but take pride
in a pure bred flock and will give
them better attention.
Don't you really think that 1t would
really pay to give little more care
to the selection Of breeding stock OF
some good breed, rather than keep on
with a flock that the word bash"
would very nearly describe.
BY selecting the strongest, most
vigorous and healthy birds for breed
ing, you can keep a flock in first class
condition. Instead OF perpetuating
defects. you will be making Roadway
in fixing and Improving the desirable
qualities and in the meantime getting
the advantages that we enumerated as
belonging to the pure bred flock.
