I
merely iiave been considered
othtr of those fool
nothing to do but concoct
poppycock for popular amuse-
ment. Nevertheless, 1 sympathiz-
ed very much with the writer’s
point of view. I recalled the
fact that, had it not been for the
late General Gogga’s brilliant
campaign against the mosquito,
the Panama Canal would have
been the same dismal failure as
the French fiasco in Nicaragua.
As a matter of fact, I would al-
most be willing to back the mos-
quito to accomplish the downfall
of man single handed were it
not for the recent arousing of
public consciousness to the fact
that these insects carry the
germs of malaria and pernicious
pests lias now become fairly gen-
eral but much is yet to be done.
There cannot be too many spray
guns in action against this really
formidable enemy.
Should mosquitos need an ally
in their attempt to conquer man-
kind they could hardly do bet-
ter than enlist the aid of the low-
ly house fly. Born in filth, the
fly never loses his liking for it
Nothing seems to please him
more than a char.ce to dabbh
his feet in every conceivable tori i
of germ laden nastiness and thin
transfer it to food inti tided for
human consumption. Screening
is only partial protiction. Flies I
will get in in spite of every bar-'
rier erected against them and a
good fly ami insect powder should
be constantly on hand to strike
them nown as fast as they show
up.
But while discussing the vari-
ous insect pests that threaten
the health and comfort of man-
kind let us not forget that ath-
letic flea. To most people he is j
merely a minor nuisance treated
more as a joke than as a serious
nunace. Yet, science now recog-
nizes this tiny broad jump cham-
pion as a carrier of the dreaded
Bubonic Plague. The fact that i
almost all domestic animals are'
occasional hosts to the flea is
r» ason enough for extreme vigi-
lance. Fly aud insect pewd> r for j
tlie smaller animals and especial-;
ly household pets and occasional
dipping for infested live stock
will help to keep down the fba.
Let it not be forgott; n, too, that [

tant factor to consider. Naturally,
the male does not moult because
he has stopped laying, so his
molting habits are undoubtedly in
herited from mother, grandmother
or earlier female ancestors. They
are, therefore, extremely impor-
tant indications of the tendencies
he is most likely to pass on to
his descendants.
While ancestry Is important, as
stated above, the fitness ot a roos-
ter for use as a breeder should
not be judged solely by the record
of his mother or other female an-
cestors. It is also advisable to
consider the records and charac-
teristics ot his sisters and half
sisters. It stands to reason that
if they have not sufficiently in
herited the desirable qualities of
their Immediate ancestors, he will
also be lacking in much the same
extent as they are. This is not
infallible rule, but generally,
the male from a good line that
readily .transmits its good qualit-
ies to succeeding generations, will
himself be a good producer.
The question of body tests to
ascertain good breeding males is
more or less in dispute. 1 know
definitely that body tests cau es-
tablish the laying qualities of a
hen, but it has not yet been fully
established* w hether or not simi-
lar tests can be safely relied upon
to indicate a rooster’s ability to
pass on to his progeny a certain
degree of laying power. Until that
question is definitely settled, most
poultry raisers will prefer to put
their main reliance in such indica-
tions of fitness as are explained
above. Careful selection along the
lines suggested is bound to be
amply rewarded, particularly for
those who have hitherto felt that
a rooster is just a rooster that
any old rooster will do. That
such Is not the case, any success
ful poultry raiser will be glad to
testify. Too much care cannot be
used in choosing the fathers of
your chicks-to-be.

One death was claimed at Cue-
ro as a result of file terrific win!
storm that hit there Friday night,
when Waller “Buddy” Noll was-
electrocuted Saturday morning by
a radio aerial which had been
blown across a live electric wire
carrying 110 volts. He had gone
out to untangle the aerial and to
repair it when he became tangled
In it and was thrown to the
ground by the shock.
Five hours were spent in trying
to resuscitate the youth but to
no avail, according to the Cuero
Record. Young Noll was a gradu
ate of the Cuero High School
with the class of 1928, and at-
tended A. & M. College in 1929.
He had recently returned homo
to spend the summer vacation
months.
A letter recently placed on my
desk announcing the opening of
a National Insect Killing Week
to begin July 7, reminded me of
a conversation 1 once heard in a
pullman while enroute to Califor
nia. Two fellow travelers were
derisively discussing a magazine
article one of them had discover-
known sci-
that some
civilization

ever increasing myriads

“Yeah,” agreed the other.
“Guess these college profs have
n’t anything to do but
stuff like that.
1 said nothing for

“A good ceck bird is half the
flock,” says an atrocious bit of
diggerel in an archaic work on
poultry raising that came to my
attention recently. Poor verse,
certainly, but good logic, notwith-
standing! it is undoubtedly true
in my opinion that a good male Is
at least half the flock -probably
much more than half. His char-Jan
acteristics are transmitted to so
man}' ciiicks and are so distinct-
ly stamped upon them that too
great care cannut be exercised in
his selection.
It seems to be a well establish-
ed tact that the egg laying abil-
ity of a hen is often inherited
from tlie father. That alone
should establish the necessity for
extreme care in selection of male
birds for breeding. Generally
speaking, egg capacity is the most
important consideration of all be
cause eggs provide tlie means of
securing profits from the poultry
flock.
Be sure, therefore, of the an
cestry of the bird used for breed-
ing Know that he conies from
a strain bred for egg production
vigor and the standard require-
m nts of his variety. While a
poor mie will not harm good fe-
males, he wil! trt.n-mil I.is poor
traits to the offspring to e.n even
greater degrees than the hens will
convey their good qualities. Thus,
his poor blood will counteract
the good blood of the hens, result-
ir.u I v.» r vilali.y and reduced
laying capacity tor the following
generation of chicks.
Having - established the impor-
tance of having only the best
males tor breeding, the question
naturally arises as to how
right kind shall be chosen,
first consideiation is ancestry. A
roostci that comes from a long
line of known productivity and
adhere to standard qualities, will
be more likely to transmit such
qualities to succeeding generation.
In any flock when proper culling
or weeding out of unfit members
is consistenly practiced and where
fairly accurate records are kept
on egg production, it should be
fairly easy to judge the ancestry
of any particular male.
Good health is, of course, es-
sential. No matter how fine a
pedigree any bird may have, if he
is not up to par or better in this
respect, better not use him. His
lowered vitality will almost sure-
ly result in insufficient fertiliza-
tion of eggs from hens with which
he has mated. That means a
low t r percentage of hatchability
and, in ail liktlihood, lower vital
ity for the resulting chicks ihan
if they had been sired by a more
vigotous specimen of chickenhood.
The ideal rooster for mating is
really mote than healthy. He is
overflewing with vitality. He is
ot an erect bearing, a cocky, self-
assured way of swaggering about
as it he owned the place. He
should have bright, alert eyes, a
good plumage, good stadard head,
should have a good appetite, good
flesli, and should be free from de-
fects and deformities.
He should crow with a loud,
clear, ringing note, the kind that
sounds like a challenge to any-
thing and everything that may
question his right as ruler of
the flock. He should be aggres-
sive in his guardianship of the
hens entrusted to his care but
need not necessarily be a pugna-
cious or vicious fighter. Insist-
ance on such qualities, may, at
first, seem somewhat far fetched.
Nevertheless, they are important >
indications of relative fitness for
the im|>ortant task entrusted to
the male and should be taken into
account.
The ideal roosted should be a
late, molter, as a rule. Early molt-
ing shows that his mother or
the strain from which he came
are early molters. That would in
dicate generally that the females
of the line are poor layers. Since,
as has already been pointed out,
the laying quality Is transmitted
through the male even more than
ed in which a well
entist had asserted
day man’s boasted
would
