WASHINGTON BY HARRY B. HUNT NEA Service Writer WASHINGTON, June 13.—The shade of Woodrow Wilson will be invoked at the New York Democratic convention by a fighting grobp of his loyal followers in an effort to carry forward the cause closest to Wilson’s heart, by incorporating in the party platform, a clear-cut and definite plank endorsing American j participation in the League of Na tions. Four of Wilson’s old cabinet mem bers, all of them listed as possible presidential selections, will join in the fight to commit the party on the League issue. They are : Newton D. Baker, former secre tary of war. Carter Glass, who served as head of the treasury after McAdoo’s resig nation. David F. Houston, secretary ot agriculture and later of treasury un der Wilson. Josephus Daniels, secretary of navy through the entire eight years of Wilson’s regime. * * * Aiding these ex-cabinet officials ■ in the drive to resurrect the cause of their dead chieftain, not only because they believe in the cause but also because they believe it can be used better than any other issue to differentiate Democrats from Re publicans and stir the nation’s dor : mant idealism, will be Bernard M. Baruch, Robert W. Woolley, Nor l man Davis, Henry Morgenthau and I Vance McCormick. There is the makings of real drama in the scene as it will be 3< t for the League of Nations fight. Wilson’s last message to the . country, his brief Armistice Day speech last November 11 will be made the keynote for the occasion. Feeble, broken, Wilson leaned heavily on his cane as he addressed the crowd that made pilgrimage to | his home on that anniversary of the end of the war. But as he spoke, something of his old fighting spiric came back to him and as he colsed his voice rose in a challenge to those foes, “those fools,” who interposed their “puny wills” against a cause which, he said, “as certainly as there is a God in heaven will prevail.” • * ♦ With this last message from their old commander as the battle cry, champions of the League in the convention believe the crusad : ng spirit of the delegates may be roused to a higher pitch than by any other issue. These leaders of the League cause deny that it can be used in any way to the party’s disadvantage in the campaign. "The Republicans will charge us with favoring the League, whether we say so or not,” they explain. ‘‘They will seek to use it against us, anyway. All we propose is to make the League battle an offensive, not a defensive one; to stand definitely and boldly for American participa tion in the only world organization which promises any practicable as sistance in maintaining the peace of the world.” PECAN SPECIALIST IS AT STATESBORO LYONS, June 13.—C. A. Reed, pecan specialist from the United States department of agriculture, left here Wednesday for States boro, where he will speak on pecan growing. He addressed the Lyons Kiwanis club Monday night and Tuesday visited several large pecan groves near here inspecting the trees, and giving practical advice on pecan growing. He was brought here by the county agent through the assistance of Senator W. J. Harris and the State College of Ag rigculture. THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER Cull the Flock Early for Fall Layers and Show Winners by J. W. KELLER, Eminent Poultry Expert Have you ever stopped to consider the question of when culling in the poultry Industry should actually be gin? Doubtless you have read numer ous discussions dealing with the rules by which physical character istics of fowls are employed to de termine their ability to lay. You are also very likely aware ot the sure ness of the trap-nest in this respect. Not everyone, however, can spare the time to use tils sure but slow method. Then too, with only the trap-nest system as your guide, you are forced to feed and care for many a drone by other methods of judgment could be eliminated from the “board bill” long before the arrival of the laying age. When then should culling begin? Culling should begin with the hatch ing egg. The character of the egg itself is an important factor in deter mining the physical characteristics of the chick that is hatched from it. Select the unformly long egg for hatching and you will get the egg type with its long deep frame. That is one of the big requirements in egg production. Short, round eggs will naturally compel short body and f ame development Begin to cull when you start to hatch. How to Cull Hatching Eggs Too little attention is given to the proper selection of hatching eggs especially in the early season when they are harder to get One hatchery I Informed the writer quite recently that it could not get eggs enough in the early season to warrant careful culling such as is practiced when eggs are more plentiful. Here per haps is the explanation of why weak chicks and runts appear. Some eggs that are normal in shape and size should be classed as acceptable. Those answering the following description should most assuredly be rejected as culls: all irregular shapes, abnormally large or small sizes, rough shells, ringed or ridged shells and shells that are too porous. This then is the first step in system atic culling according to physical characteristics. It means a saving all the way along the line. Try out this plan and see if it doesn't give you a better grade of stock to begin with. Now tne culling process should be carried on almost continuously throughout chickhood and the spring and summer growing ' period. You cannot, of course, cull too closely during this period bt:t yen can at least grade the stock to a degree.that will prove very helj'l.nl If gro'wtfii In some birds is .r.

Strength, vigor and activity are characteristic of all good layers. They are the first off the roost in the morning and last on at night, ■work all day long, eat lots of mash and drink plenty of water. After they have been laying a while, their toe nails are worn with work and plumage is rough and ragged. The beaks, ear lobes, faces and shanks of the heavy layers also become ' pale, while the abdomen is deep and soft, the ear lobes fufl and the comb bright, waxy and of a soft smooth texture. The poor layers on the other hand ere bright colored in beak, legs and faces and their feath ers are generally in fair condition. The ear lobes are generally shrunk en, the comb hard, shrunken and rough and the abdomen shrunken and very flrm. Handling the birds will show that the pelvic bones of the good layers are widespread and pliable while those of the slackers are close together, blunt and stiff. The layers’ vents are large, full and moist while those of non-layers are small, bard and dry. Os course the above descriptions apply to fowls toward the end of a long laying period, but they serve as a valuable basis for culling, ffht under no cift cumstances can a bird be a good layer if it is not healthy and active and with plenty of depth and room in that portion of the body where the egg producing organs are located. ' Makes Final Test In Early Fall Now as the pullets finally develop and near the period of production, the final and more stringent test should be made. That is where you will need a carefully prepared chart by which to judge. Then is the time when particular pains must be taken to make certain the proper testa are made and that good prospective layers are not thrown into the dis card. This feature of culling will be fully discussed in an article to be pub lished in the late summer. Spa.ee here will not permit of the ennpiete outline as it should be given. It is sufficient now to carry on a general culling process that has as its object the proper grading of the growing stock in the different stages of rapidity with which it develops on the one hand and the elimination of the noticeably inferior stock on tho other.-.
