Chickenbe Jungle Bird of Asia Key Industry In Ral America

Chicken - common barn
ward fowl. That bird which
originated from the jungle
fowl of southeastern Asia and
which has been developed
through domestication and
breeding into over eighty-sev-
en- varieties is now one of the
greatest sources of revenue to
the American farmer and is
listed in the king row of the
family dinner menu.
The Plymouth Rock, cele-
brated for its graceful figure
and upright carriage-a hand
some bird with fine grey and
white plummage; the Wyan-
dottes boasting. of good hab-
it's, abundance of eggs, and
tantalizing roast. The Leg
horn, probably the most pro-
life chicken known-light eat
er, healthy and active = and
any chicken farmer can tell
you how they lay, even though
perhaps being just a little less
desirable for the table.
Then of course there is the
ornamental breeds, Bantams,
Japanese, Polish and Games
those small, pretty but pugna-
cious little birds.
In the United States alone
it is estimated that the chick
en- population runs upward of
500 million. The eggs layed
each year and Grated would
require refrigerator car
nearly 100 miles long-at
least statistics say so-and
that would make a lot of egg
nogs, Tom & Jerrys, or just a
lot of eggs = fried, boiled,
poached, or what have you?
Perhaps the greatest contri-
button to the chicken industry
are the modern electric auto
matte hatcheries which turn
out countless cheeping fuzzy
little chicks each week.
The Newark Approved
Hatchery located in so Pros
pect street is one of the oldest
and the largest in Newark.
E. w. Kemnitzer started out
with two four hundred egg
capacity oil burning old-fash-
ioned incubators 20 years ago,
in the basement of his home.
Older readers who used to
visit grandma and grandpa on
the farm will remember the
type, with the coal oil lamp
and how the entire hatch
might be lost if the flame
flickered out, the wick got
too short, or someone just
simply forgot to put in the
oil.
1t must have been in those
days that the saying Don't
count your chickens before
they hatch" originated, for it
certainly could not apply to
the hatchery industry in this
modern era. In fact the op-
orator of the modern hatchery
can bet his years output on
the fact that he will average
70 to 85 hatchability accord
ing to season - with many
matches of 100 percent.
Mr.. Kemnitzer in his zeal
for business and a thorough
understanding of the hatchery
industry gained through sever
al years of experience, was
forced to make arrangements
to take care of his growing
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1941-03-06

In addition to the foregoing
the use of pedigreed males OBJ
tanned from the best known
breeders of the different va
rieties, has steadily improved
laying qualities and also the
various strains of birds rails
ed for the market. Fast grow
ing and quick feathering is of
paramount importance in the
latter strains.
The Newark Approved
Hatchery is charter member
of the Ohio Poultry Improve
ment association, which is un-
der the direct supervision of
the United States Department
of Agriculture. The purpose
of this organization is to i'm
prove the quality of poultry
going out from the hatchery
to the raiser, thus assuring
all purchasers of the best
possible stock-eliminating all
question of breeding, disease
and variety.
Eggs used are from high
bred flocks inspected by rep
resentatives of the Ohio Poul-
try association, and are secur-
ed in the most part from
thoroughbred flocks in this
community the owners of
which have contracts with Mr..
Kemnitzer.
Most chicks are in the hands
of the purchaser when only a
day to two days old. The
hatchery maintains a direct
delivery service to poultry
raisers in this vicinity, with
a truck specially equipped to
insure the chicks getting to
the purchaser in the best poss-
ible condition.
Mr.. Kemnitzer is expert
menting with several pens of
two to four year old White
Leghorn hens mated to Gasson
pedigreed male birds. These
roosters are from hens having
trap nest records of 270 to
over 300 eggs per year-and
hens that can do that have an
efficiency set-up which would
be the envy of many an in
dustrialist.
Between 35 and 40 thousand
chicks are shipped out each
week from the hatchery
many going to chicken raisers
in Licking and adjoining coun-.
ties, and others to all parts
of the state. While the main
Matching season starts in Feb
ruary and continues through
June, production is carried on
the year around. Because of
modern incubation methods
connoisseurs of chicken can
now enjoy the so-called
"spring fries" any month of
the year.
Development of feeds for
baby chicks, growing mashes,
laying mixtures, and continued
experimentation in control of
diseases has also been a great
contributing factor in the
chicken industry becoming one
of the key agricultural pur-
suits of rural America.
One of the latest develop
metns is the raising of hy-
brids by experimentation in
the crossing of certain strains
of chickens. In this work an
endeavor is made to produce
chickens which are both good
layers and market birds-or in
other words general purpose
fowls. Singular success is re-
ported-but much scientific
research is still necessary
along that line.
But it is because of Mr..
Kemnitzer's continued interest
in new developments, and his
constant desire to keep up
with modern methods used in
the hatchery industry, that he
has acquired the success he is

"Is War Inevitable?"
Current Subject For
YMCA Adult Group

The current subject for dis
cussion in the adult education
program at the YMCA has been
posted on the bulletin board in
the form of a large poster with
an appendix of thought-provok-
ing questions attached.
The subject, which will be pre-
sented the next two weeks in
several of the adult clubs, is:
"Are Wars Inevitable ?" The
poster points out in graphic
fashion that London was visited
by the Black Plague in 1349,
but that since that time science
has almost conquered plaques.
The question for discussion will
be: "Will mans scientific ap-
proach to his problems enable
him to abolish war;"
George Evans and John Afford
are sponsoring this series of
adult education programs with
the YMCA groups.

Mummers' Parade Jams
Streets Of Philadelphia
Ry the Associated Press.

Ey the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 1.-Cli-
making Pennsylvania's biggest New
Year celebration since 1898, record
breaking crowds which police esti-
mated would exceed a million lined
Philadelphia Broad street today
for the city's annual big show, the
Mummers' parade.
Comparatively mild weather
brought spectators out early and by
dawn thousands anxious to glimpse
the event crowded sidewalks and
porch steps along the smile route.
Flouncing down Broad street in
a whirlwind of regal finery and
fast-stepping string bands, the
Mummers, $1,000 strong, were
scheduled to reach the reviewing
stands at City Hall shortly before
noon. 1t is there that disposition
of $4,000 in prize money will be
determined.
One of the most colorful events
in the Nation, the parade had its
inception in Colonial days when
masked gentlemen roamed the
streets on New Year Day serenad-
ing citizens who were expected to
toss them coins for drinks.
