BOOSTERS

Kentucky poultrymen and farmers a
loss Of almost one million dollars

Hens without a rooster lay just as
many eggs as those allowed 20 run

Experiments have shown that Il
does not pay TO hatch chicks after the
first ~ June" he continued. This
being the case. there is no reason
for keeping roosters with the flock
during the warm weather. since the
hens will lay just ne well without
them.
"Old roosters should be sold or
killed in June and the young ROSTERS
disposed Of just as soon a they have
reached frying size. Any cockerels
kept for breeders should be confined.
This not only will prevent the pro-
duction Of fertile eggs but also will

Blease was defeated. however, by a
decisive majority. War psychology
was powerful; ne was anti-Wilson if
not anti-war; and the regimented
bind was too much for him.

this new standard of living so sum-

RLFAsEIsM A CONDITION
RATHER THAN A THEORY

For the May issue Of the Survey
Graphic, James c. Derieux. formerly
executive secretary to Governor r 4.
Cooper, now member Of the staff
of the New York Globe, has written,
under the title Of Crawling Toward
the Promised Land" notable article
for which "Bleaseism," so-called, IS
the theme. Mr.. DerieuX, himself
South Carolinian, has, in writing this
article, shown keen insight into the
conditions, historical, social and &C.
onomic, which are responsible for
what is known as "Bleaseism"-of
which, by the way, Cole L. Blease IS
only the titqlar head. The conditions
which brought about "Bleaseism'
were deeply rooted before Blease
himself was out of his early teens and
will, doubtless, exist long years after
he has ceased to be a political factor
in South Carolina. To it he has mere
" given a name by which it is, for
the time being to be Distinguished
and perhaps by any other name 1t
would sound as sweet. The follow
ing excerpts are taken from the ar
ticIe.
