QUESTIONS ANSWERED AT THE
POULTRY SHOW BY THE EDITOR
OF SALEM POULTRY JOURNAL
i
(Written for The Standard by C. P. I
Williams, editor Northwest Poultry
Journal, Salem, Ore.)
In the words of a man yesterday, we
learn that a poultry show, when staged
by men who really desire to aid the
industry, is of great and lasting bene
fit. The man referred to said, "I have
learned metre about chickens during
my hour's stay here today than I have
learned In my life heretofore. If more
mon would take the Interest In telling
strangers and amateurs the valuable
points to know about a pullet, these
shows would be better patronized."
Don't you know, I believe that, too. I
have attended exhibitions where It
seemed to me that no one took time to
talk to the visitors and answer ques
tions that were probably puzzling
them. As was explained to the man
yesterday, it Is the fault of the visitor
many times because he strolls along
the aisle and never asks a question
he gives the breeder or judge no op
portunity to tell him anything. Every
body knows that we cannot walk up to
a man and begin explaining the fine
I points of the birds In the show, how
j to select layers and breeders and talk
over the feed question some people
would resent such impertinence and
would not hesitate to tell a man where
to iiend-In.
When you come to a poultry show,
ask questions; never mind how simple
they may seem to you; ask the first
fellow you see and keep asking till it
is answered.
Just a few answers to simple ques
tions that came to the writer yester
day. "What Is a leg band?" It is a
metal band having a number stamped
upon it and this band Is fastened
around the fowl's leg, just above the
toes and takes the place of a name.
The fowl is theroaflor known as num
ber 21, or whatever the number Is. It
Is necessary to know those things in
keeping account of how many eggs
she lays, if one trapnosts and line i
breeds.
What Is a Trapnest.
Then the question follows: "What is
a trapnest?" It is a nest wherein a
hen is trapped when she enters to lay
her egg. As she steps upon the floor
of the nest the entrance is closed and
she can step Into the nest compart
ment nnd lay, but cannot get her free
dom from the nest until the owner or
keeper comes and releases her; be
fore doing this, however, he takes the
band number and gives her credit for
the egg on an egg record sheet. This
sheet contains the numbers of all the
hens in that pen down the side of the
sheet, and across the top are the days
of the month. Each month a new rec
ord sheet is placed in the house. Thus
it is that a hen's record of eggs for
the year is kept at many of the large
egg farms and at all the egg-laying
contests. By breeding from the heavy
layers each year a fine flock is pro
duced. What's Line Breeding.
"What is line-breeding?" Briefly
told, it is a method of breeding which
makes it unnecessary to buy outside
males or females. The breeder starts
with two distinct blood lines and pro
duces his own breeders. Line-breeding
has become something more than this,
however, for an intricate scheme of
matings has been worked out for both
producing eggs and exhibition fowls.
By line-breeding, a man can tell just
what mating produced a certain good
show specimen or an exceptional egg
layer. Without the banding system
and the accurate tab kept upon the
birds mated and the quality of off
spring this mntlng produced, a breeder
would be at sea as to just what he was
doing.
Toe Punching.
"What is toe-punching?" It is a
system of punching the web between
the toes of small chicks with what is
called a "toe punch" In order to keep
account of what mating produced the
chicks until the chicks are large
enough to wear a logband made for
chicks.
Those are just a few of the ques
tions which greet one at the show and
we thought by answering them through
the Standard we would be able to take
care of more people with other ques
tions to ask who visit the show this
afternoon and evening.
This is the last day of the show, re
member, so come out and show your
interest in this industry and lend sup
port to a cause which means much to
the nation and will, mean more in
months to come, if the war continues.
The price of admission is so slight
compared with the knowledge to be
learned and the encouragement to be
offered the men and women who have
given their time, day and night, for
the last two weeks in order to make it
possible for Ogden to have an exhibi-
tl0n- X J .
These shows should be supported by
the state. No one gains any direct ad
vantage from an advertising stand
point for which he does not pay twice
over, yet hundreds are made fanciers
and poultry farmers by seeing these
shows and consequently is of vital j
benefit to the public at large.
State Helps.
In Oregon we poultrymen put on a
campaign before the legislature con
vened and had over seventy petitions
filled with around twenty thousand
names of taxpayers, petitioning the
legislature to support one state poul
try exhibition In Oregon each year.
We secured $1500 without a dissent
ing vote in either assembly and expect
to have it Increased to $3000 at this
next legislature.
Every cent of this money is paid for
premiums on fowls. None of the money;
is allowed to be used for paying ront
of building, advertising, printing or,
judges' hire. These expenses are paid
from the entry fees upon the birds and
the gate rocoipts. We find that we
have about 200 left each season,
which goes for the storage and repair'
or purchase of coops. This feature is I
not satisfactory and we have sold our'
coops to a fair association and here- .
after will have the entire show cooped
by the Pratts, Ltd., who make it a
specialty. This does away with hav
ing to pay storage on coops and keep
buving new ones or repairing the old
With $1000 or $1500 for premiums,
Ogden and Salt Lake could bring
fowls from nearly every state in the
union. The Portland show this year
had prizes up for the exhibitor send
ing birds from the greatest distance.
A man in Colorado and a man in Mon
tana won out We have paid as high
as $20 for first, $17.50 for second, $15
for third, $12.50 fourth, $10 fifth,
$7.50 sixth, $5 seventh, and $2.50 for
eighth. When you consider-that the
state fair only pays $1.50 for first
prize, it will not be wondered at that
Portland had to rent the Auditorium
for our last show. We have the new
auditorium leased for the first week
in December for ten years. And the
poultry business Is booming. Some
may say that these prizes are loo
large. It would never be said by the
man who exhibits, for he must win in
hot not warm competition and the
fellow who can win a single first is a
breeder of note and to win a sixth is
hard sledding when up against one
hundred and fifty cockerels In one
class alone!
9 show with 400 birds (total) is con
sidered a pretty fair show over the
country at Portland one class has had
that number Just the Leghorns num
bered -106.
State Will Aid.
If these facts are brought to the at
tention of representatives and senntors
of the states, they readily respond for
the good of the cause. A few poultry
men properly enthused can put this
measure through for Utah. Make the
bill read generously don't try to put
it over for the benefit of Ogden alone;
give the show at Salt Lake one year
and Ogdon the next. Poultrymen over
the state will agree that It is far bet
ter to hold a show of this kind where
thousands can pass through the doors
and benefit rather than hold It in a
town where a few hundred might
benefit. The breeder is out for the ad
vertising he can secure and the more
people who see his particular variety
the better it suits him. A state-wide
organization of poultrymen can bring
this and other beneficial features to
pass and Utah ought to have a state
society. Oregon has had one for five
years. The writer has been secretary
for two years and was up for presi
dent when I left home. I'm afraid my
campaign won't be a very warm one
while I'm spending my time in Idaho
and Utah!
This will be our last day of the
show. The people of the Weber
county association have been very kind
to Mrs. Williams and myself and we
appreciate every favor. It Is our deslro
that the Ogden folks turn out enmasse
this afternoon and evening and fill the
poultry show hall to overflowing and
thus make the officers glad all over.
If there's a question we can answer
that will help some backlot poultry
man or a man with a thousand hens,
wo are at your service.

system utilized for -war necessities. I
have assumed that the bill will not
deal specifically with questions as to
vhat should or should not be taken
over by the government, under the
president's proclamation. That has not
to be determined after an investiga
tion. My own opinion is that it Is tho
duty of the director-general as quickly
as possible to determine what rail
roads, or parts of railroads are needed
bv the government and to notify the
carriers. That is now in process.
"As to railroads taken over, compen
sation is provided under the law we
are going to pass. As to those outside
it seems to me any injury is a mat
ter for the courts to determine. I don't
believe the law should require com
pensation to railroads whether the
government needs them or not.
"There is no disposition to rip any
body up the back. It's the govern
ment's desire to treat small as well as
big roads as equitably as Is possible as
far as it's compatible with public use
and interest. All tho lines excluded
from government control ought to be
kept going, encouraged and treated by
the government with utmost fairness
and consideration."

"HIS" TELLS STORY
OF PKI01TE LODE
Tho one and only Mary Garden is
the star of "Thais," the new Goldwyn
photoplay from the famous novel by
Anatole France, which is to be seen at
the Ogden theater beginning tomor
how. It is Miss Garden's first photo
play. "Thais" tells the story' of a beauty
of ancient Alexandria who is noto
rious for her many love affairs. A
wealthy young man named Paphnutlus
is attracted by Thais, but leaving her
home one evening, Is set upon by a
jealous rival whom he slays in self
defense. Having lately become a con
vert to Christianity from his pagan
belief, he knows that murder is a
crime against heaven, and In his
groat remorse he becomes a monk and
goes far out on the desert to live in
expiation of his sin.
While he becomes known through
out the world for his sanctity, Thais i
becomes the very queen of riotous liv
ing. Then Paphnutius concelvos the
idea that It would give the cause of
Christianity great impetus if he'
could convert Thais, so he goes to berj
home dressed In the rich garments of
a friend over his coarse monk's robe,
and notifies her of his intention. Ati
first she is amused, and then fright-1
ened as he follows here everywhere.
And at last she yields to him,, gives
away or destroys all her worldly pos
sessions, and follows him off into the
desert where she becomes a nun.
Flushed with his victory- over sin,
Paphnutius returns to his holy broth
ers. But despite his high resolves, he
has fallen madly in love with Thais.

SUM
"Western shippers, consignees and
railroad men have responded to the
appeal of Secretary McAdoo and made
'Freight Moving Week' a big success.
Warehouses were relieved of their
cargoes and thousands of freight cars
were released for new business dur
ing the present week.
That was the way Thomas F. Row
lands, superintendent of the Salt Lake
division of the Southern Pacific, this
morning, summed up tho week's cru
sade for releasing all freight cars.
"Freight Moving Week" ends tonight
and the new progressive demurrage
schedule starts in. tomorrow morning.
Superintendent Rowlands was the
originator of the slogan, "Not a Dollar
Domurrago nor a Dime Shortage,"
which promises to become a classic in
rallroadlngs as his Plcknoy's "Millions
for Defense but Not One Cent for
Tribue" in American diplomacy.
"I think everyone responded to the
appeal," continued Superintendent
Rowlands. "Every offort was made to
load and unload cars as quickly as they
were spotted on the house tracks.
Thousands of cars were released for
new service. Tho great big Idea now
is to continue tho same procedure.
Merely because 'Frolght Moving Week
specifically set aside by the director
general Is over, the enthusiasm and
alert co-oporation should not wane.
"The public service commission of
Oregon has struck the philosophy of
the entire freight-moving problem. It

of the British and Canadian Recruit

who was twice wounded himself.
Brie. Gen. White wants to show this
consignee will observe to the letter,
will cause freight movements to be
greatly facilitated. Here are a few
of the memoranda:
" 'Remember cars are not ware
houses. " 'Consign no cars without bona fide
sales.
" 'Buy from and sell to your near
est market-
" 'Accumulate material sufficient to
load cars before ordering.
" 'Load and unload cars on day re
ceived, regardless of free time limit.
" 'Bring yourself to a full realization
of the situation.
" 'Don't expect the impossible of the
railroad.
"If these rules and ordinary common
sense will be brought to bear by every
one interested freight shipments will
move along in splendid shnps and ter
minal congestions will be so infre
quent as the proverbial molars of a
chicken. If all persons will recognize
tho vital Importance of loading and;
unloading cars promptly the trans
portation problem will be solved."
The new progressive schedule which
begins operation tomorrow Is torm
ed the "$10-a-Day-Demurrago-Rate."
That if, following the first 48 hours,
during whloh timo no charges aro
made, an upward graudating rate ap
plies. For the first day, following the
48-hour free period, $3 will be charged
the second day. $4; the third, ?6, and
so on until the $10-a-day rate is
reached, when a charge of that amount
will be made for each day the car Is

LONDON, Jan. 19. Among the
many drastic changes Field Marshal
Sir Douglas Haig is making at British
headquarters in France, according to
the Times,, is the appointment of
Lieutenant General Herbert A. Law
rence, as his chief of staff.
Sir Herbert Albert Lawrence was
born in!8Cl and had been retired from
active service at the outbreak of the
war. Ho served in South Africa 1899
1902 and has the French Legion of
Honor. His two sons have been lost

tear on a "lady" tank like the
Britannia than fifty miles through .M
the mud. The female tank carries JM
six machine guns and weighs thirty 'jU
tons, while the male is armed with ,
two six-pounders, three rapid firers j
and weighs sixty tons.
The Britannia saw service in the l
battle of the Somme, went "over the
top" three times and had part of J
her hull shot away. To save time t 1
she travels on a big flat car between 1
cities, her own speed being only
about four miles an hour. Accom- ,
