ton and that the membership had in

less than a year. Miss Sammis an
nounced that two plays are to be
presented in the near future, KEN
py," the first one, about the first Of

No Thought of Using School
Children VIM. Sperling Says
To the Editor:

To the Editor:
In your last issue l find in the ac-
count of the meeting of the Sperling
Sponsors on October II phrase that
is capable of misinterpretation to the
prejudice of my candidacy. 1t implies
that the idea was favored of appeal
ing to the school pupils to advance
and promote my campaign for the
office of collector
In fact, it was emphatically stated
by me and others that no movement
would be made or encouraged to
arouse the activity of the army of
school children. Such a procedure
would be unethical and should not be
considered
l will appreciate your giving fair
publicity to this explanation.
Very truly yours,
VIM. r. SPERLTNG.

use and for sale to customers.
The Beall Farm is primarily a
Breeding establishment along The
highest lines as its name implies
Every care and operation is made
with High Egg Records, either in
individuals or flocks averages, but
to produce the best possible fom-
dation stock as to health, vigor and
stamina for the benefit of the
flock, also purchasers of birds
thcrcfrom to be used as layers and
breeders.
The Beall Farm and their Gus.
toners obtain their full share OF
800 eggers, both in private records
and at official egg-laying contests.
Namely; our 302 egg hen at Texas
last year, at Puyallup this year,
and our high hen at Missouri this
year with the highest record of
800 eggs, starting her record when
She began laying before, going to
the contest. She passed the record
by our customers at contests, di-
rectly from our stock or produced
by goOdly portion Of Beall blood
in the purchase of males, etc.
While the 300 egg hen is the
highest result to be obtained and
is always most welcome, a bird of
better breeding with lower records
say $50 to 299 eggs, may be more
valuable as a breeder where all
characteristics of ancestry arc
known as in our complete records.
Especially so, if this ancestry is
stronger in combination Of cen
tinuous high production and de
sired qualities, such as type, purity
OF plumage, color, attractive head
points, size or weight of eggs, color
and texture Of shell and, last but
not least, the performance in the
breeding pen in reproduction of
high average progeny having de
sired standard qualities.
Our real aim on Beall Farm is
to produce stock of this quality,

HENS READ EDITORIAL

Billy Fields flock Of white leg
horns evidently read, or had read
to them, our editorial last week on
selling eggs by weight, instead Of
the dozen count. At once they
started to lay eggs the size Of duck
eggs, and it's a fact that in 10
eggs brought in by Mr.. Field as a
sample, we weighed one OF them
which tipped the scales at II
ounces. We are glad to note that
even the chickens are backing up
our editorial policies, and from
the big custards the EDITORS ba-
bies are eating today as a result
of these samples, we fancy they
are "gladder than we. F"

that will make high averages and
reproduce their kind in our Gus
toners hands as it is this high
average that will make poultry
profitable throughout the land,
both in commercial egg farms in
the necessary dividends. and popu-
lar in the ease Of backyard flocks
depending in the daily dozen"
fresh Sweet-flavored eggs for the
average sized American table.
Last, but not least, as emphasized
by the most important result Of my
ten years in developing the Beall-
Tancred standard qualities such
as, uniformity of type, size or
weight Of birds, male and female
coming close to the standard re-
quircmcntS.
With us on Beall Farm produc-
tivity comes very close to the top
of the list Of requirements, being
second only to health and vigor of
the individuals, as high production
cannot be combined without yigor,
but nevertheless, we positively do
not overlook or neglect the stan
dard qualities III putting together

CHALK WHITE EGGS
FROM CHALK WHITE
HENS TAKE PRIZES

Vashon island is the poultry
mans paradise. Our hens lay in
the fall when eggs are high and
they lay in the spring when eggs
are low. In fact they lay all the
time. VIXEN the average Iowa hen
lays 100 eggs in a year the com
pariSOn seems odiouS when the
liawkeyeite is told that number
Of hens on Vasllon island lay over
300 eggs in year, and that per.
hapS the average lay is about twice
the Iowa record. Our poultrymen
enter contests in New York state
and win, they go to N. j. and win,
they skip down to Missouri and
show them how to win, they
drop into Texas and win, and thus
the records come from state after
state. Not to be without "honor
in our own country" they walked
over to Puyallup to enter the con
test and two years out of the past
our they brought back the blue
ribbon, This year they came so
near winning that the winner
Found the ribbon tinged with red ;
&c was so badly scared by Vashon
island hens. There's nothing to it
Inny more. It's like counting up
the Coolidge votes after election
Just matter of form.
Think of the Highland Park
equipment, and the Rosebank
string of incubators, and the Cow
ington hen that forgot to 90 to
roost at night she was as busy
shelling them out, and the l.. G.
l}eall trapnest and pedigree re-
cords filling fair size room, of the
thousand and one other egg far
mers, and hatchers, and breeders
and you have picture of the place
where most farmers live on fried
chicken, fresh eggs, and strawber-
RES with cream. twelve months of
the year.
In order to publish something
concrete on the poultry industry
IN this issue we interviewed L. C.
Seall, Jr., who is claimed to be
the greatest trap-nest and pedigree
breeder in the U. s., if not the
world. He is one Of many on the
island who can speak with author
ity and we obtained his story
which was told us something as
follows:
The Beall Pedigreed White Leg
ORR Farm covers 20 acres in ad-
dition to 10 acres adjoining which
we lease for colony range. We
also own, close by, an S-acre tract
and a 20-acre tract in orchard,
that could be used if necessary.
Our main plant is well laid out
with Trapnesting and breeding
houses, with a capacity of 4000|
birds. The main service building
and incubator building are cen
trally located to the trapnest and
breeding houses.
We have a brooder capacity of
$500 chicks, located in the old
family orchard. The colony houses,
10 in number. are located on the
rear Of the farm, and on the leased
land. These houses are moved
each year to fresh locations.
We trapnest 5000 pullets each
year. Any pullets not being suit
able for breeders, on account of
standard requirements or vigor are
sold to the butcher or for market
egg production. The number of
breeders kept depends on their re-
cords and not how they stand all
the culling requirements. This
number range from 1000 to 1900.
This year we will have the maxi
mum number or more. We brood
