ORIGIN

ORIGIN
The chick sexing was originally
found in Japan in the year of 1925
by Professor Masm of the Imperial
Japanese University of Tokyo. Diff
ferent methods in chick sexing were
introduced by Prof. Masui, Prof.
Sakai. Prof. Sasakiyama, Prof. 10
iima, and Prof. Suzuki.
WHEN AND HOW IT CAME
TO THE UNITED STATES
In the early 1905, the poultry in
dustry, one of Americas big indus
tries, was also hit by depression and
pressed for more economy and eff
cheney of its production Poultrymen
were losing money raising valueless
cockerels (males). Something had to
be done. A few poultrymen on the
Pacific Coast heard of the chick
sexing in Japan. They wanted to
apply this to their industry.
Through the efforts OF Professor
E. A. Lloyd. head of the poultry de-
oartment of the University of Bri-
fish Columbia and the Imperial jap
anese University in Tokyo and the
Japanese Department of Agriculture
the science of chick sexing was in
troduced to the United States in the
year, 1884.
The first demonstration was held
at certain hatcheries In Washing
ton Soon afterwards, they trained
students who we're under-trained
lacked experience, and received nc
secrets. The hatcherymen who en-
ployed them had experienced high
mortality and poor work. From the
unsatisfactory results, it developed
bad reputation throughout the
country.
About this time, Nisei american
Japanese) went to Japan to take UP
four to five months training or
chick sexing under japanese instruc-
tors. They returned to the States
and found employment within Cali
fcrnia Many followed to take ur
chick sexing in Japan.
The first chick seXing school ir
the United States where students
were trained and made ready fol

founded in 1887 by S. John Nitta
the president of the present Ameri-
can Chick SEEKING Assn School Of
Lansdale, Pennsylvania.
FUTURE OUTLOOK
Chick sexing has now been adopted
and accepted by the poultry indus
try. 1t is urged by the United States
Department of Agriculture. The
poultrymen who specialize in eggs
want to raise pullets (females) only
and 90 not want to be bothered with
the cockerels Cmales). They might
make little money on them, but
their pullets will do better with more

WALTER BILL
OK BY TRUMAN
EXPECTED soon

culties in the Senate when Sen.
Richard B. Russell Cd, Ga), after
objecting to it for several months,
finally amended the measure to APP
ply only to Japanese immigrants
who came to this country or Hawaii
before July /, 1924, date of the Or
entail Exclusion Act.
The House refused TO accept the
Senate version. The measure went
to conference. 1t faced two months
of delays--a curious state of af-
fairs in which il was reported with
almost mOnOtOnOus regularity that
first a conference report was APP
proved, had not been approved,
would be approved, or would not
be approved.
The final conference report which
did emerge restored the original pro-
visions of the reSolution-simply eli
minating race in naturalization. At
the same time the report added a
rather lengthy section amending Sc
cuity regulations applicable to all
aliens in the United States.
The security provisions aroused
considerable speculation before they
were made public. However, what
they do in effect is simply this:
l. Prohibit naturalization to any
one who within 10 years preceding
naturalization has belonged to the
Communist or other totalitarian
or fascist parties.
,. Require the Attorney General
to publish annually a list of all
Organiza tons considered subver-
sive to the national security.
3. Give an alien who is mem
Der of a subversive organization
three months to withdraw from 1t
after such organization is first
listed by the Attorney General
without the aliens being consider
ed personally suspect.
4. Declare that any person who
within five years after naturaliza-
ton becomes a member of any sub
versivc organization shall be pre-
sumed to have obtained naturali-
zatiOn by fraud.
The conference report was accep-
ted by both the House and Senate
Aug Ia. But less than an hour after
the Senate vote of approval, Senator
Lucas entered a motion to recon
sider" This was a technical proce-
dure which. in effect. blocked the
bill from going to the White House
Senator Lucas said he made this
motion to obtain time to study the
security provisions added to the Re-
solution in conference.
Not until that motion to reconsider
was either withdrawn or acted upon
could the resolution leave the Sen
ate.
Senator Lucas withdrew his mo-
ton.
The legislation now is in the hands
of the President.

room. and will give them higher
return. The poultrymen who specia-
lie in broilers can get chicks cheaper
by buying only the cockerels. Hatch
erymen can make more money by
selling sexed chicks. Thus, all bran
ches of the poultry industry are be-
nefited by chick sexing. Statistics
indicate that there are more than
IL 900 commercial chick hatcheries
in the United States alone.
Nitta states that qualified chick
sexors will always be in demand and
that it is very important that APP
plicants choose dependable chick
sexing school as his future entirely
depends on it.
CHICK SEEKING A WORLD
WIDE PROFESSION
Today, it is being successfully used
in the United States. Canada, Mex
leo, Cuba. South America, Hawaii
Japan. Australia. England, Belgium,
France, and Holland.
BACKGROUND
Shigeru John Nitta was born in
Seattle, Washington. in the year OF
1911 At the age of nine, Johns par
ents. Mr. and Mrs. B. Nitta, took
him, his younger sisters, and brother
to visit his grandmother and grand
father in Wabuka-mura, Nishimuro-
gun. Wakayama-ken, Japan. While
visiting, Nitta's father died uneXpec-
teddy. At the age of thirteen Militia
by himself returned to Seattle. Wa
shington. He lived with his uncle
and aunt, Mr.. and Mrs. S. Ozaki, and
attended school from there.
At the age of fourteen, Nitta's
cousin took him to San Pedro, Cali
fornia. While attending school, he
worked as clerk and bookkeeper in
stores. Upon graduation from the
San Pedro High School in the yeai
of 1888, Militia went to visit his
mother in Japan and attended q
chick-sexing school in Nagoya.
PIONEER IN THE FIELD
! Nitta was one of the pioneer stud
ents who learned chick sexing if
Japan. Upon graduation, Militia work
ed at hatcheries and on poultry
farms in Japan furthering his stud
les. When Nitta returned to the
States, he continued with his ex-
periments and worked at hatcheries
m different parts of the country.
OPENING OF SCHOOL
In the year, 1887, Nitta founded
the first commercial chick-sexine
school in the United States, naming
it the American Chick Sexing Assn
School. 1t was established in Cali
fornia. and until 1871 classes were
held there. Since 1912, classes were
held in Lansdale, Pennsylvania

erican Chick Sexing Assn School

he can sex two hundred chicks in

lied for Veterans training under the

THE AMERICAN CHICK
SEEING ASSN
Nitta's sole idea, when organizing
the American Chick SEEKING Assn,
was to provide hatcherymen in AM
erica a complete protection to fur
nish expert and dependable sexors,
to make immediate requirements of
sexors in case of any emergencies,
to cooperate in carrying on the sani-
tation programs, and to make posi-
BILE for long distant shipments
promptly
1t provides the Amchick graduates
higher income and a permanent
employment.
INTERESTING FACTS
ABOUT GRADUATES
Militia is now responsible for his
graduates successfully working in
almost every state from coast to
coast, Canada, Latin America, Ha-
wall, and Europe. Militia has never
failed to provide employment for
his graduates. Demand for his grad
yates are far greater than can be
supplied.
WHERE STUDENTS CONE FROM
Nitta's students come from all
parts of the country, from Canada
Mexico. Cuba. and Hawaii.
EARNINGS OF AMCHICK GRADS
The earnings of Nitta's graduates
range from $500 to $1,000 an hour
The work is seasonal, except in areas
where chicks are Matched the year
around. Earnings during the season
of three to four months range from
$500 to $4,000.
