» 8 an 4 | KE ¢ Aly BES "ers a method of hatching chickens Starts To Collect On Old Incubator Idea i Bysiness Week (New York). Billions of baby chicks have hatch- ed, grown to springers and died for the American table since Dr. Sam- uel B. Smith, of Cleveland, began! bringing suits against infringers on his incubator patent. That was 14 years ago. Collection season start- ed this year when Dr. Smith and the Smith Incubator Co. recently ob- tained from the United States Su- preme Court a decision upholding their claim to the patent which cov- in an incubator that circulates the air. In the next three months, the hatching season, perhaps 500 million chicks will hatch in incubators using or infringing the Smith patent, and the legal task of the Smith Incuba- tor Co. is now to collect royalties of from one cent to three cents on Sony chick which has not paid the oll. Though theoretical estimates of the collectible amount run to figures resembling Dr, Townsend's, the practicalities are different. Referees in lower courts have set these royal- ties in a number of cases, not in others; bonds have been posted in some of the cases, other companies have gone out of business, and suits are yet to be brought in still other instances. ) The Smith incubator arranges the eggs at different levels and drives a current of warm air past them with a fan. All other incubators from the ancient Chinese and Egyptians ap- parently had relied on convection, and their operators had had to change the position of the eggs from time to time. Not only did Dr. Smith do away with all that but his arrangement of eggs in seven stages of incubation enabled the operator to take off a crop of chicks every three days, The incubator became a continuous mill. Dr. Smith's company builds incu- bators from 20,000 egg capacity to to 65,000 at one "setting." The doc- tor, who started out as a country physician, built his own hatchery. at his old home in Attica to a capacity of one million eggs a filling--at that time, about 1922, largesthyin exist- iy The region d Attica and @ i u ~~ » 4 \ ' pg 4 capacity of 287,000,000 chicks an- duties were years was the centre of the Ameri- can day-old chicks industry. Ohio still leads the states in the capacity of its chick hatcheries, but Iowa and Missouri are close and California is rapidly overtaking the others. Since 1922, when Dr Smith form- ed his company in Cleveland, he has sold. $24,000,000 worth of machines with an egg capacity of 188 millions at one filling. Clinton, Mo., has 57 of the Smith machines in the hands of operators, who produce between eight million and nine million' chicks a year, a crop worth $800,000 at present prices. Half the Clinton population is employed in the in- dustry. Since 1917 chicks have travelled by parcel post as well as express, sharing that distinction with the queen bee. They are shipped as soon as their feathers are dry, and will travel 72 hours without food other than what remains of the egg yolk within them. Most of them go in standard 100-chick cartons, and 95 per cent. arrive safely. Nearly 2,000 dealers with a total hatching nually applied for compliance certi- ficates from the National Commer- cial & Breeder Hatchery Co-ordin- ating Committee, the code authority. The battle of Dr. Smith and the infringers began as soon as neigh- bors heard of his success. In nearly all the cases, the infringing com- panies had attempted by differing arrangements of eggs on the trays to circumvent the doctor's claim to an exclusive patent. Dr. Smith's basic patent was obtained in 1896 and expires in April this year so that his collecion season will be a short one. The company has a num- ber of other patents. In the 14 years of legal work it started 528 injunction suits. March Customs Returns Lower Ottawa--Department of National Revenue have issued figures showing customs and excise collections for last March of $17,619,040, a decreasc of $460,902, compared with March, 1934, collections.

" The figures showed Canadian ci- vil aircraft flew 75,871 hours last year, an increase of more than 20,- 000 hours over 1933 figures and al- most 19,000 hours over 1932 flying.

Cannot | WAR ON WARBLES All Agencies Co-operating To Eliminate This Destruc- tive Pest The Warble Fly and the resultant Warble Grub, constitute a real Men- ace to every cattle owner in Ontario and it is most commendable to note the manner in which Representa- tives of the Department of Agricul- ture in every County have marshal- led their forces in a general "War on the Warble Pest". It has become a distinctly local enterprise with everybody "Warb- ling" for the benefit of the cattle industry and at a decidedly low maximum cost to each individual cattle owner,--the average cost per animal for the three necessary treatments is very little, if any, in excess of three cents. School Teach- ers and School Inspectors are in- volved i the drive with special lessons being taught in the schools; Councillors are out campaigning and local Store-keepers in almost every town and village are co-operating in the same spirit by holding them- selves in readiness to supply all the necessary ammunition in the form of a powder that is easily and readily mixed with water. Perhaps no Agri- cultural endeavour of recent years has caused so much intense interest and concern and the poor little Warble Fly is destined for complete eradication if this general camp- aign is conducted for another 2 or 3 years, It is only human perhaps to pro- crastinate and some farmers have postponed treating their cattle in the hope that Warble Grubs might not appear this year or that it was use- less to treat unless the neighbours did likewise. Such an attitude is the poorest kind of logic. Every far- mer should treat his cattle since treatment means no running or gad- ding, contented cows, better milk flow, better fleshing, and superior hides. And no farmer should let the success of last year's treatment de- ceive him as one year's treatment does not kill all the Warble grubs. True, it is nearly the middle of April but there is stilt time to give scratch, ' CANADA, INBUSTRIES imireD WINDSOR, ONT. ob gtipignplest somos) Che Name.

BULLS SPOIL SALE OF COWS Farmers Also Line Up Against Police And Auctioneers Reddish, Eng.--Two auctioneers came to. Church Farm, Lancaster, to seize and sell cows because the own- er, Frank Humphries, farmer, had declined to pay a $50 Milk Board fine. The two auctioneers found 500 burly farmers in massed forma- tion on the farm. They were armed with knobby sticks. Startled by this display and fur- ther alarmed by the lusty booing and challenging, the auctioneers depart- ed and returned with a police es- cort. Everything seemed in order for the auction--except the cows. Frightened by the uproar the herd stampeded, rushing madly around after the manner of a 'rodeo. The police were in hot pursuit when ap- parently from nowhere a pair of angry bulls appeared on the scene.
