AN SOS LETTER TO DIR SISTER SOCIETIES
FROM THE SAN FRANCISCO
ANTI-NIXISECTION SOCIETY, INC.

ANTI-VIVISECTlON SOCIETY, INC.
DLEASE read carefully enclosed annual report;
then ACT AT ONCE according to instructions care
fully prepared for you by those with legislative expert
Additional instructions will be mailed occasion

Ever since the anti ivivsecton movement started
in country the wall has gone forthf only the press
would give us publicity Now the Hearst chain of news
papers has given publicity in truly grandiose style
For the FIRST TIME you have been given chance
to voice your demand for legislation in
big way. GRASP THIS OPPORTtiNfTY.--
As you know, the regulation of vivsecton is NOT
FEDERAL ISSUE 1t is issue which must be decided
by each individual STATE LEGISLATURE
The reason Californa's we'll known humanitarian,
William Randolph Hearst in his publicity is focusing at
tenton the I1emke bill H. r. 491 pending in COM
mttee the District of Columbia is because proposed
laws for the District of Columbia are passed on by the
United States Congress.
Thus each and every Of us-no matter in which
state resideis enabled to voice his approval and
urge his individual congressional representative to
give the bill favorable vote.
Therefore this bill, II. X. 49I, Is it is reported
faUorably "out of committee mould be discussed and
Uoted FIRST the floor of the House of Represent
otives, then ( passed there) the floor of the u S.
Senate. This in its Would lead to nUestgd-
ton of this terrible practice whch has far long been
permitted to go unchaenged and unmoiested in
country.
DUT it must not be assumed that laws enacted by
ID press publicity-the press only mould public
opinion by the enthusiasm of the congressman no
matter how sincere who has consented TO introduce
bill
In the final analysis I'VE THE PEOPLE" through
elected representatives enact laws or defeat proposed
laws our representative IS convinced that great num-
bers of citizens who reside in his district IN FAVOR
of proposed law he will support and vote for it.
If there seem to be in his district who oppose
the new law, he will vote against it-and if little
interest is shown-then Gas they say) the BILL DIES
IN COMMITTEE
so 1T is UP TO YOU, SISTER SOCIETIES. TO
INFORM BOTH YOUR MEMBERS AND THE PUBLIC
HOW TO GIVE VOICE TO THEIR DEMAND FOR
ANTI-VIVISECTION LEGISLATION.
A ND do not forget that OPPONENTS of H. r. 491-
"A the vivsecors who do not wish to be deprived of
their CHEAPEST vvisection subject, the DOG-are
VERY WELL ORGANIZED indeed, and that at short
notice the womens auxiaries of the various state and

Millions will be needed for "Deferred Maintenance"

ToDAY's lightly war loads are riding on
foundations like that pictured -. highways
into which the railroads have put more than
4 billion dollars for Improvements since the
last war This groundwork is the necessary
basis for carrying the greatest load in history.
Wear and tear on roadway, bridges, locomo-
tives, cars and equipment have been terrific.
And material and labor for needed mainte-
nance are not obtainable now beyond the
minimum necessary for safe, continued opera
ton. As result, much work that should be
done has had to be deferred. So the railroads

are wearing out IS per cent faster than they
can be restored.
Money from current revenue should be saved
to pay for the needed repairs and replace
ments when material and labor are available.
But the tax law forbids. If money for needed
repairs cannot be spent as it is earned it is
considered profit and practically taxed
away But it isn't profit. 1t is the life-blood
of the railroads.
To tax this money away, simply because
it cannot be spent now due to war oondi-
tons, threatens the backbone of American
transportation.

Expert Advises Buying
Superior Bred Poultry

to the breeking methods which are
used to perpetuate the stock.
Each year more and more
poultrymen are buying chicks Of
the certified Grade and rearing
layers. These are superior chicks
of the U. S. approved grade be-
cause they come from stock where
pedigreed males (Record of Per
formance) are used in the flock
matings. Practically all All Club
poultry projects stipulate that
chicks of the certified grade be
used because it has been proven
that greater profits can be realiz.
ed from pullets of that grade than
Of lower grade.
The initial cost of certified chicks
is usually about seven cents more
than the lower grade. When buy.
ing unsexed chicks that increases
the cost of each pullet by IA cents.
That difference in cost is covered
by just three eggs at present re.
tail prices, and if 20 to 40 addi.
tional eggs are laid, the extra
profit per laying hen may exceed
one dollar. A five-pound, 100.
egg bird consumes about 60
pounds Of feed a year, while 9
hen of the same weight laying
200 eggs consumes only 94 pounds
of feed. The additional 100 eggs
are produced on only IA more
pounds of feed. Furthermore, the
100-egg hen requires the same
amount OF care and attention and
occupies the same amount OF
space in the house.
For both the large commercial
flock and the small family flock,
there is the same advantage in
buying superior stock. It is often
the principal cause in determin-
ing success or failure. Experience
ed poultrymen have come to ap-
preciate this fact, but newcomers
generally consider a hen a hen,
end buy the cheapest stock avail
able.
At this season of the year many
families of our towns and cities
sre buying a few pullets to furnish
eggs during the coming months
when eggs are likely to be scarce.
The price to be paid for these
pullets should not be based entire
ly on their weight, but partly on
their breeding worth. If they
were grown from certified chicks,
they are worth more than if grown
from lower grade. 1t can even
be said that if some pullets ready
to lay are worth $3.50 each, others
are worth $500 each.

STATE CORN CROP
SETS new RECORD

COLLEGE STATION, Raleigh,
Sept. 16.-North Carolina has the
largest corn crop this year in its
history and many farmers have
discovered that they can practi-
cally double their yields per acre
through improved practices.
The State College Extension
Service has inaugurated field dem
onstrations in every county in the
state and many growers are now
following the improved practices
on their entire acreage.
The use of we'll adapted hybrid
corns, more plants per acre, better
fertilization, and shallow cultiva-
ton are the principal points in the
new plan for corn growing.
County Agent H. X. Sanders. for
example, has just examined six
demonstrations in Person County
and counted the number of ears OF
corn on 70 yards of row both on
the farmers acre and on the test
acre. The count was 119 ears aver
age for the farmer and 165 ears for
the test acre.
J. D. Winstead, Jr., v. o. Bla-
lock, H. Roy Rogers, c. T. Hal, l..
p. Sherman, and Clyde Meadows
cooperated in these tests. The count
showed that Winstead with a count
of 224 ears for 70 yards would
probably make the largest yield of
corn on the test acre.

He points out that the kitchen is
the most dangerous place in the
farm home and that housewives
need to exert care in lighting fires
and in doing ordinary jobs In the
kitchen around the stove.
Since there are now more cars
on the road and they are travelling

TO W ATCH PICKER

COLLEGE STATION, Raleigh,
Sept. 16.-The first cotton picker
in North Carolina will soon be
ready to 60 into the fields OF the
Liberty Manufacturing Compa..y y
near Red Springs in Robson
County to harvest the fleecy staple.
Since leaves on the cotton dam
age the lint in the machine-picking
of the crop, the cotton is being de-
foliated by chemical treatment. The
busting of the cotton to remove
the leaves is being done by air
plane at cost of about 81 an acre.
The cotton picker is manufactur-
ed by the International Harvester
Company, and an engineer Of the
company is now making the nee.
essary adjustments to fit it for the
picking job. 1t is hoped that the
machine can begin picking the crop
soon.-
Farmers from Robson and ad-
joining counties are planning to
watch the operations of the new
cotton picker when it is put to work
in the fields. It may usher in a new
era of cotton production in that
section. Farmers are anxious to
see the quality of the cotton after
it is picked by the machine and
compare it with the quality OF
hand-picked cotton.
County Agent o. P. Owens OF the
State College Extension Service
says that a number of farmers
who have exceptionally large cot
ton are defoliating the crop where
they plan to pick it by hand. This
is also a new practice for the Sec
tion.

Sleeping Sickness Hits
Moore Horses, Mules

CARTHAGE, Sept. 49, Moore
County has had its first case of
sleeping sickness among h rses and
mules. A horse died from the di-
sease at the Pinehurst Farm near
here. County Agent E. H. Garri-
son, Jr., of the State College Ex-
tension Service, says that animals
in this area are being treated
against the disease and it is hoped
that in this way the trouble may be
kept from spreading. Twenty-four
farms have recently seeded alfalfa
to furnish livestock with cheaper
feeds and other farms would have
planted to the crop if plenty o1
seed could have been obtained on
time.

BY DIR. C. H. BOSTIAN
IN. C.. State C0llege)

The general public is learning
the value of buying eggs which
have been graded, but the poultry
man who produces the eggs has
frequently failed to realize that
rullets exist in various grades OF
quality. In the majority OF in
stances we obtain about what we
pay for, and that is especially true
when it comes to buying pullets
for the production of eggs.
The performance of a pullet de-
pends on two principal factors that
are always present. These are
heredity and environment. A pullet
is born with heredity permanently
established, and if that heredity
includes such things as late ma
turity, small egg size, low rate of
laying. and broodiness, they cannot
be removed during the life of the
hen.
Environment includes all the in
fluences besides heredity which
affect the chicken from the time
the egg is laid and during its in
cubation to the death of the in
dividual. Feeding, housing, the
presence or absence of diseases
and parasites, and climate are
some of the things included in the
environment.
The relative importance OF
heredity and environment can be
summarized by saying that one
establishes a ceiling to the rate
of production and the other de-
termines how nearly the ceiling
will be reached. Probably there
has never been a laying hen which
had throughout her life perfect
environment.
To make more sure of obtaining
pullets with a high potentiality for
laying eggs, it is necessary to buy
them from stock which has been
improved by breeding. Various
degree of Improvement have been
made, and the buyer of chicks
for pullets may obtain stock hav-
ing the ability to lay from 100
to $50 eggs per year under average
conditions.
How can the buyer of chicks OF
pullets know their capacity for
laying eggs? Actually, there is
no way of predicting the inherent
ability of chickens in an absolutely
exact way, such as in knowing
how. much light will be produced
by 10 or 100 watt light bulg
On the other hand, egg-laying
capacity is very definitely related
