Progress and Profit in Poultry T eek 'ag3 41RSHs 14
ASKS DOUBLE RATES ON
EXHIBITION POULTRY

Thomas F. Riggs, president American
Poultry Association, has wired editors
C. the poultry press as follows: Fort
Wayne, Ind. have direct information
that r. S. Wheeler. assistant traffic
manager of the American Railway Ex-
press Company, 81 Broadway, New
York city, contemplates filing with the
interstate commerce commission rate
double the frst-class rate on all poultry
shipped for exhibition purposes. The
adoption of such an outrageous rate
would be a great injustice to the fan
cier exhibitors of the United States
and Canada. 1 am asking you to i'm
medately wire and write Mr.. Wheeler
calling his attention to the fact that
the filing of such rate would be an
Injustice Enlist in this service as
many poultrymen as possible. It's an
extremely important matter" Like
otheh unwise and impolitic rulings, TINS
is another spoke in the wheel of the
juggernaut the express carriers are
building to finally destroy themselves;
in every conceivable way and by any
means available the support of the
public is alienated. The losses sus-
tained by express companies in the
handling of exhibition poultry are due
entirely to carelessness of express
handlers in misreading addresses and
in putting shipments off at wrong sta
tions. Claims actually settled for losses
on exhibition poultry shipments are
only a small portion of the claims made
by shippers. Whenever possible eN-
hibitors are using other means of get
ting exhibition specimens to shows
These other means Of transportation
will naturally increase with rate iH-
creases made by express carriers.
Egg shippers are sufferers from tie
heavy burden of transportation, not
onlv the tariff burden on eggs to mar
ket, but on the return of empty crate.
There is little hope for equitahl"
freight and express adjustments fro~
the carriers: just how far the inter
state commerce commission will go i"
adjusting freight and express rates Ca

and consumer are always left out o;
any discussions on dates and do nS'
enjoy representation except on apes
from rulings which are made witho'~
their knowledge or consent and whi1h
rulings reach the producer and con
sumer thru increased cost of life
necessities.
Congress has failed to recognize that
part of its constituency which pro-
duces the food of the nation and the

SLIGHT DROP IN EGG OUTPUT OCCURS IN
SIXTH WEEK OF11th EGG-LAYING TEST
Despite Weather Changes and enera Decrease All Over Country
Five Birds Lay 81 Eggs in Days

must be learned by poultry raisers in
general-it is an oft-repeated story in
these columns. Every year some en-
trants select birds that possess every
desirable characteristic and still lack
maturity. There is nothing those in
tion-these inactive birds lay one, two
or more months late. and while their
scores are splendid for the actual lay
ing period, yet they cannot compete
with birds that lay over the entire
twelve months If it were possible to
speed up the moment of initial yield, in
all probability the speeded-up individual
would probably suffer later, particularly
in the late summer and fall, if she were
able to withstand the effect of speeding
up.
It is just as essential to so mate that
birds will mature evenly as it is that
they be mated for fecundity, for it is
impossible to get the greater profit from
a layer that produces only in the season
of low prices. Earnest and diligent at
tention should be given the matter Of
maturity.

night dumped some hot ashes into a
barrel and upon rising in the morn
ing found the barrel and some boxes
near by in a blaze, but luckily it was
discovered before the fire had caught
to the dwelling.
A very disastrous fire occurred
about four o'clock on Monday morn
ing of this week on the farm owned
by James Kerbin, of New York, and
tenanted by Carl Satterfeld. Mr., Sat
terield was away from home. No one
was home but his wife and a small
son. Mrs. Satter1eld was awakened by
the smell of smoke and the roar of
the flames and upon investigation
found the rear of the house a mass
of flames. Nothing but few pieces of
furniture from the lower part of the
house could be saved. There was no
insurance on the furniture and but
$500 on the building. The fire origi-
mated from a defective hue.

pears it means that two fingers can
be placed between the edges of the
pelvic or laying bones as they appear
thru slight pressure made by the fin

recognizable as indicative Of high or
low capacity, coupled with the distance
