’ e approached for pure-bred chicks by 
parties who do care whether chicks are 
pure-bred or mongrel stock. These the 
dishonest proprietor catches and they 
are thrown back at least a year in their 
poultry improvement efforts. 
Where I Would Do Business 
In many States there are hatcheries 
'i high reputation and standing whose 
breeding pens are well selected and 
conducted in cooperation with the Statg 
Experiment Stations. Of course there 
are many other hatcheries which are 
perfectly reliable and where we may 
obtain stock of the very best kind. The 
point which should not be passed over 
lightly, is that the hatcheries whose 
breeding pens are conducted in coopera¬ 
tion with the experiment stations are 
to be depended upon for .supplying 
chicks that are what they are recom¬ 
mended to be. 
These hatcheries and all others that 
maintain special breeding pens of high 
quality are reliable. So far as the busi¬ 
ness (lealings of others is concerned 1 
do not question their reliability. How¬ 
ever, I do seriously question the practice ! 
of picking up eggs here, there and 
everywhere .just to fill the incubators. 
This and the looseness in scattering 
poultry* diseases, should cease. We i 
have had a number of chances this 
year of selling our eggs to hatcheries 
this season, but owing to the fact that 
we have had trouble with coccidiosis we 
decided to not do so unless we can once 
rid our flock of this trouble, or build 
up another that is free of it. * 
The Kind to Beware Of 
It may not be out of place to say that 
we should be very cautious about order¬ 
ing chicks from -fly-by-night epneerns. 
The case of the notorious King Hatch¬ 
ery qf Cleveland last year is still fresh 
in our minds and neeii not be reviewed 
here, except to mention that if W£ had 
the money that the King Hatchery ob¬ 
tained from our county we*could pur¬ 
chase a poultry farm of good size and 
make a mighty fine down payment, if 
not pay for the entii’e farm. So as a 
closing remark, permit us to say that 
it will pay you to do a little research 
work before you order chicks. Learn 
from those who have had successful 
dealings with reliable hatcheries what 
their experience has been. Or have your 
county agent inquire from your State 
experiment station concerning reliable 
hatcheries. There are many of them 
all over the country. It surely pays to 
“look before you leap” when contemplat¬ 
ing the purchase of baby chicks. 
With New York Farmers 
{Continued from page 141) 
in storage along the Ontario division 
of the New York Central have been lost 
because of a. shortage of refrigerator 
cars. Many have estimated the short¬ 
age as high as 250 to 300 cars. Grow¬ 
ers have for some time in the past ex¬ 
perienced more difficulty in getting cars 
on the New York Central lines than on 
the Pennsylvania system. Partly .to 
obviate this, a large cold storage was 
built at Wa'llington on the Pennsyl¬ 
vania road last year, and before the 
plant was fully completed all space 
had been contracted for, so great is the 
call for storage facilities on the Penn¬ 
sylvania system.

Williamson Growers Reestablish 
Fellowship 
For several years the Williamson 
Vegetable Growers’ Association em¬ 
ployed a graduate student of Cornell 
University for the study of feome of the 
disease problems arising on their muck- 
land crops. Last year question arose in 
the minds of some as to whether the 
undertaking was worth the cost or not. 
It was accordingly dropped. At a re¬ 
cent meeting the growers decided 
unanimously to re-establish the fellow¬ 
ship. They found that a man well 
trained, in disease control was able to 
help them greatly by timely suggestion 
and demonstration.
