Hatch Pheasant Chicks
by Artificial Methods

The state of Pennsylvania, which
probably turns out more pheasants
than any other state, discarded its
hen-hatching system last spring and
made complete change over to arti-
fetal Matching and rearing, with the
result that out of 27,263 eggs set
20164 chicks were Matched and 49,
geo pheasants were raised. Chicks
are Matched in electrically heated
machines at 103 degrees and after
Matching are kept in the incubator
hatcher compartment at 100 degrees
for "a hours.
They are then transferred to the
brooder house under hover at 90
degrees. The second week they are
given access to sun porch. The
third week they are given access TO
ground runway and the hover
temperature is reduced gradually I'M
til by the fifth week the artificial
heat is turned off completely. The
sixth and seventh week the chicks
are transferred to a holding field
and are released during the eighth
to the tenth weeks.

charge of the new business there To Adobe
Walls also came William Odds and his wife to
open restaurant.
Fer several years the Indians had been watch
ing with increasing alarm the wasteful slaugh-
ter of the buffalo by the white hunters. So
when In the spring of 1874 Comanche medi-
cine man named Isatai announced that he had
new medicine which would enable them to
wipe out the white men who were exterminating
the buffalo, he found the tribesmen ripe for
such q crusade.
The first Indian leader to agree to help In
this laudable enterprise was chief of the
Comanches, Quanah, the half-breed son Of Gym
thia Ann Parker, who as little girl had been
stolen from her home in Texas and had be-
come the wife of the great Chief Peta Nocona.
Then the medicine man carried the pipe" to
the Cheyennes, Arapahoes, Kiowas and Kiowa
Apaches and they readily agreed to accompany
their Comanche brethren.
So great war party Of between 600 and TOO
mounted warriors set out for the buffalo hunt
ers camp and on the night of June % they
camped about five six miles from Adobe
Walls began painting themselves and their
horses and preparing themselves for the charge
against the hated white men. "Those men shall
not fire shot we shall kill them ALL" was the
promise of Isatai.
That night at Adobe Walls % men and one
woman slept peacefully, little realizing that

BIC ACCEPTANCE.
DIP REPORTED

Bankers acceptances declined
in May, for the fourth successive
month, yielding to the current
Stagnation in the demand for
money and credit, according to
Robert II. Bean, executive secre-
tary of the American Acceptance
Council.
The total volume of bankers
acceptances outstanding on May
81 was 1858, 8,l90,514 which is $44,-
1886 below the April 30 total
and $1O0,020,814 under May 81,
1888. The reduction in May put
the total below the previous low
point of $582. $4,000 in August.
1926.
The greater part Of the reduc-
ton from last year has been in
the volume of bills based on
foreign transactions, which are
now $73,000.000 below last years
total.
Warehouse Bills Off
Bills created for the purpose of
financing goods stored in domestic
warehouses show a reduction Of
$26, 1885 1897. The second largest
reduction is in export acceptances
which went off $13,789,975. Ac-
ceptances based on goods stored
in or shipped to foreign countries
declined $6,698,3O5 and accept
ances created for the purpose Of
financing imports declined $2,264,-
157. Slight increases were shown
in acceptances covering domestic
shipments and for the purpose Of
creating dollar exchange.
The causes behind the drop for
export acceptances and for ware
house acceptanceS are identical
and may be definitely traced to
temporary conditions resulting
from abnormally low yields on
bills and on acceptance credit
costs which does not make it
profitable for credit takers to use
the acceptance market at this
time, Mr.. Bean says.
Discount Bill Drought
AS in recent months, the dis
count market suffers from a
severe bill drought. The Fed
eral Reserve System with only
about $5,O00,O0O in bills, with
practically no bills held for the
account of foreign correspond
ents and a dealers portfolio Of
less than $4,000, 900, establishes
a condition which has not existed
in the discount market in 20
year.
On May 81 accepting banks
alone held a total of $5O7. 300, $685.
made UP of 1921 ,169, ,423 of other
bank bills purchased and $685.
134,500 of their own bills. This
unusually heavy volume Of bills
locked up by accepting bankS
amounts to nearly 80 per cent Of
all the outstanding volume.

HUDSON s SALES
At 4-YEAR HIGH

Factory sales by the Hudson
Motor Car Co., including Cana
dian sales and export operations,
totaled 1872 cars, compared with
5,846 cars in May. 1888. the COM
pany reports. The total last
month was the largest for any
May since 1880, when factory
sales totaled 11,949 cars.
With this amount of business
for the month, Hudson operated
on a profitable basis in May and
its operations have been in the
black continuously since the mid
die Of February, the company'S
statement declared.
For the five months ended May
81, Hudson's factory sales totaled
60,745 cars, compared with 1851
cars sold in the corresponding
months of 1888 and with 4O,9s2
cars sold in the full IL months
Of last year. The sales for the
five months this year also were
the largest for comparable periods
since the first five months Of
1880, when sales totaled SO,911
cars.
After initial delays in produc-
ton caused volume proportions
during the latter part Of Febru-
ary and in March, a total Of about
$4,000 cars were sold to dealers.
In April factory sales were under

TRADING SLUMP
SEEN SMALL

Seasonal recession this summer
continues less than in any recent
year, retail sales this week are 3
to Is per cent ahead Of 1888 and
the last few days have seen the
best wholesale markets since the
end of April, Dun & BradStreet,
Inc, state in their weekly review.
While noting that the industrial
gains Of the first quarter have not
been entirely sustained in the Sec
ond and that business has as.
Sumed a Steadier level until crop
prospects are more definite, the
review confidently predicts cur
rent slowing uo "win not retard
the general recovery movement" !"
This weeks retailing gains were
contributed almost entirely by the
urban sections, Dun & BradStreet
continue, along with farming
areas in the South and Southwest
where drought damage is not so
severe. Further declines are re-
ported from the Pacific Coast.
The review states larger pur-
chases of vacation items and prep
arations for June weddings, both
of which are more elaborate than
at any time in the last three
years, lent the most impetus in
retail lines. Gains were recorded
without the stimulation Of any
special promotions.
The Dun & Bradstreet business
barometer advanced another OF
points to TIL another new high
for the year and only IA points
below the peak last July. The
current index compares with T0.4

Dollar Moves
Up Slightly

NEW YORK, June 16 (I.N.S.)
With the effect Of the German
moratorium wearing off, the
foreign exchange market dis
played its normal Saturday
dulIness today. The dollar was
slightly firmer but price changes
were small and of no Signifi-
canoe. The table:
The Washington times., 1934-06-16


creased only 80 millions. Evil
IDENTIFY. therefore, the Treasury
printed up 81 million dollars Of
certificates" on the strength of
its so-called free gold" This
represents some of the Govern
ment's paper profit" on reduc-
ing the amount of gold in the
theoretical dollar.
In the last 80 days the New
Dealers have shot 100000, 900 Of
this initiation into the reserve
banks. They are spending" this
imitation in their schemes Of ere
form" and "relief."
2. The reserve deposits Of the
member banks increased again,
and equal about 3.9 billion dollars.
This is chiefly due to government
spending.
These deposits made by men,
ber banks with the Reserve Banks
are far in excess of legal require
ments. The excess is called Eek
cess reserves" The sum of this
excess reserve is now about 1.8 bill
lion dollars, which is new high
record.
'Tt shows that despite great
pressure, the member banks can
find no use to make of their
funds, 50 they just leave them
In reserve. The plain fact is
that reporting member bank
! lOans are 414 million dollars
less than q year ago, although
their demand deposits are Is
millions larger!
3. The trouble is that the de-
poSits and excess reserves have
been artificially built up by
government borrowing and spend
ing. They do not represent real
business.
While the member banks loans
have decreased, their invest
ments" in government paper have
increased about 1.3 billion dollars,
or nearly as much as their de,
mand deposits. Their invest
ments are far above their loans,
and two-thirds of these invest
ments are in government debt.
Nearly 80 per cent of the Fed
eral Reserve Bank loans and in
veStments consists of government
paper. The holding Of govern
ment bills and certificates in
creased last week.
Another item which grew
larger last week was brokers
loans, which were up IA mil,
lions. This item is now over
$1,000, ,OOO, 900 again. It seems
to be ION the way" to the good
old New Era proportions.
But note that it no longer
represents stock market ex-
cesses. 1t tells of government
financing, and represents bOr-
rowing by dealers to carry
