HomeMy WebLinkAboutZurich Herald, 1951-04-05, Page 6TII A1'Ir I I tt' Ja6 Under the heading "I-),1 Your Own Inlarlcetiug" a recent ;::stir 1 "Corwtry Gentleman" Inas an article telling about \\"amen Haw- ley and his son, who tind it worth ten cents a dozen or More to mar- ket their eggs directly. The Haw- leys ;lav -e 9000 birds near Batavia —a city with a population atf ,oine 20,000—and sell aground 80% of their egg production right at the farm Or directly to stores. * :k k When wholesale egg buyers were paying farmers 35TH cents a dozen, the Hawleys were getting between 45 and 50 cents—depending on whe- ther their eggs were sold at the farm or to the stores in Batavia. They figure that to make out they have to have at least 6 cents above the wholesale market price for the eggs they sell at retail. k * * Sales at the Hawley farm have reached as high as $100 a day. An average day will find $40 or $50 in the till. Live -weight cull hens are also sold at the farm. :k * :k The Hawleys haven't just done all this in recent years when the demand was high. Warren Hawley started building up the business 25 ,or 30 years ago when he got tired of the wide fluctuations in prices he was getting from New York City commission men. * ik h "We talked a couple of restaur- ant owners in Batavia into taking our • eggs .regularly," he recalls. "Our price was based a few cents above the New York market." * * * Later they added to their cus- tomers a neat market, a couple of grocery stores and a delicates- sen. Also, they began to sell baby chicks locally. They give most of the credit for spreading their busi- ness to word-of-mouth advertis- ing—plus an attractive Hawley egg carton, and the egg recipes Mrs. Hawley inserted in the carton. * ik * One thing the Hawleys do with- out fail is to candle and carton eggs right before their farm cus- tomers' eves, "They don't seep. to ,hind wait - it g and thev litre to see what they're • getting." Hawley explains. Eggs are gathered four times a day and kept in a cooler roots. A girl, who is in charge of the egg room at the end of the hatchery closest to the road, takes care of this and also cleans, washes and grades for sale. She sets eggs for the incubator too. • * "Make cash deals — no credit," advises Warren Hawley. "And be sure that you have a year -around, adequate supply of eggs for all customers. Too few eggs for a month or two can ruin our kind of business," • * If you raise broilers, instead of eggs, you might be interested in some experiments recently made at the University of Idaho. At a cost of only $6.37 for antibiotic supple- ment research men there added 859 to the income from 1000 broilers. ik * ,k All the antibiotics studied--aureo- mycin, streptomycin and penicillin —produced an increase in growth rate of chicks. Charles F. Peter- sen felt that a comhin.ation of two or more of them might possibly produce better results than using only one. And it appears that anti- biotics improve general vigour and thriftiness of birds and cut down the number of runts and culls. * * * • The thousand birds getting the antibiotic supplement with their feed averaged 3.45 pounds at ten weeks, con,eumed 8.5 pounds of feed per bird and returned $604 over feed cost. Another thousand birds, getting the same ration but without the antibiotics averaged 3.2 pounds at ten weeks, ate 8,3 pounces each and returned a net of $545. He's A Perfect Cut -Up — "What's so unusual about a lean cutting out paper dolls ?" you ask, the state of the world being what it is. Well, nothing, except that Giuseppe Baggi of Faenza, Italy, makes his paper and wire characters so artistic that he's able to make a living at it. Baggi has drawn crowds on three continents producing astonishing masterpieces from the simpl- est materials. He discovered his ability to "cut up" when he was a child. Most of the experimental work has been done with levels of 50 to 100 granas of antibiotics to each ton of feed. Equally good results have been obtained in sorne cases with as little as 10 to 20 grams per ton, * * The antibiotics are now being recommended for starting chicks, turkey poults and in broiler plashes. Work at the Experiment Station fails to show any benefit from feed- ing then( for hatchability, however. FAMILY AFFAIRS The woman was applying for a separation order against her hus- band. "Your worship," she said, "he broke every dish in the house over my head." "Did your husband express any regrets over his actions at the time?''' asked the judge. "No," was the reply. "The am - could speak to me." "My fiance is terribly deaf and this has got me in awful trouble." "How's that?" "Well, I had to yell so loudly when I proposed to her that the woman living in the flat above has sued me for breach of promise." Ralph Too?—Revenue author- ities believe they can trip up Ralph Capone, above, the same way they did his brother, the late Scarface Al Capone. Hearings will continue in Chi- cago on charges that Ralph, like Al, made false income statements. The accused was freed on a $5000 bond. Look Out, Gussie—South America has come up with an an- swer to Gussie Moran, the tennis ace withthe startling cos- tumes. Marie Goran Weiss, of Buenos Aires, Argentina, above, is not only one of the top female tennis players in the world, but is also known for both shocking and delighting. her fans • with her racket attire. The Argentine beauty, shown in an outfit of white embroidered lace nylon, recently won the women's singles at the Pan-American Games. As far as horse racing goes we have always been a Thoroughbred fan. 'We have followed them for more years than we would care to admit and tossed away more money trying to pick them than we like to even think about. What little reputation we ever had as a writer of short stories was made writing about Thoroughbreds and their jockeys and we still get a thrill when we recall some of the famous speedsters we have watched in action, such as Exterminator, Man O'War, Sir Barton and a whole lot more. :k * * (We mention these things not in any spirit of boasting, or of apology either, but simply to show that, as between Thoroughbred Racing and the Harness Horse Variety our preference has always been for the former.) * * * But we do .not like to see any Sport, whether we are a follower. of same or not, handed a raw deal, especially when the dealing is done by a Government that is supposed to represent all classes, not just the upper ones„And that is exactly what. the Trotters and Pacers ap- pear to have got from the Govern- ment that does its stuff up in Queens Park, • :k * But don't take our word for this. Listen to what Milt Dunnell, Sports Editor of The Toronto Dai1p Star, had to say about it in -a recent issue of that paper. * * . The Harness Horse mob knew that some person was trying to kid them when the Ontario Racing Commission was formed. One mem- ber of the Commission was to re- -present the interests of the trotting and pacing crowd. First indication of the weight this member would carry on the new O.R.C. came when they neglected to inform him of the first meeting last year, at which the O.R.C. called in the Press. It was explained there was no business pertaining to harness racing—just the announcement that the sulky riders wouldn't he allow- ed to race under lights at the dolled -up Thorncliffe Raceway. -- ]k In the above Mr. Dunnell, of course, is referring to the 1950 rac- ing season and, we fear, his re- marks are slightly sarcastic. The announcement that the Thorncliffe folks were going in for harness iioieo: Racing in a large way was the biggest thing to bit the sport in Ontario since \fAUD S. was foaled --and that's a long time ago. The promoters spent a lot of looney fixing up the track and offered a (leap of looney in purses. It was an understood thing that they intend- ed to race under floodlights. But, without warning, and without the Harness Horse representative being notified of the meeting, the Racing Commission •told The Press that floodlight racing was "no dice" Later on, ):hen they proposed to hold twilight meetings, without the benefit of electricity, the clamps 'were put even 011 that NOW, bark to Milt Dunnell. Yesterday -- he continues -•- the Standard Bred enthusiasts got more assurance of how highly they rate with the Ontario Racing Com- mission. Not only was the night - racing ban renewed, but the Race- way people were aided in working out an agreement to interrupt their daytime trot meeting far six days while the runners were going -at Hamilton's second meet -45 miles away. That's really rubbing salt in the wound. Come to think of it, though, maybe the Commission is saving the Raceway promoters money. Off last year's experience— the more they race the more they lose. But the O.R.C. should come out and admit that its only real in- terest in the Standard Breds is to make sure that they don't inter- fere, in any way, with what's going on at the running horse tracks. * *] Which last, of Course, is the last thing the U.R.C.—or its boss the Ontario Government—is ever likely to admit. In fact Premier Frost, speaking in Legislature, told the people of Ontario that the sole rea- son for banning night racing was to protect tllent from the deadly consequences bound to follow on its introduction. Night racing would greatly spread the evil of gambling! Night racing would cause people to 'bet who couldn't afford to lose! Night racing would attract to the fair city of Toronto some really low down characters! And so ou, and so on, ,until it was a wonder that his listeners didn't burst into tears —or else that aur worthy Premier didn't break clown laughing at him- self. 'k '1' . • Now until last season, when we visited Thorncliffe Raceway half -a - dozen or so times and thoroughly enjoyed the sport provided, we had- n't been at a Harness Horse meet- ing in fifteen years or more. We hold no brief for the Standard Bred - people and don't know five of thenm, even to speak to. But we think we know a little about human nature, and here are a few remarks we would like to pass along to Pre- mier Frost and the Ontario Rac- ing Commission. A character in the unforgettable book "PAL JOEY" once remarked "If it's going to happen it will hap- pen at four o'clock in the after- noon; if it isn't going to happen, it won't happen if you stay out all Bight" or words to that effect. It is true that he was speaking of something quite different from bet- ting on the horses—but his remark goes for gambling too. If people are going to gamble, they'll do it no matter what o'clock it is. If they cant do it on the horses, they'll do it on Bingo, Poker, or playing the stock market. And so far as gambling on the Harness Horses goes — well, we don't believe it would be hard to find, in the• city of Toronto alone, anywhere up to five hundred people who will take your bets on the Thoroughbreds, yet we don't know of a single Mace where we can place a wager on the Trotters and Pacers. k k * And we'll go even .further than .that—if night racing can produce more people betting who cannot afford to lose, and more characters you'd hate to meet in a dark alley, than you'll find -any racing after- noon at—say—Dufferin Race Track, it must be really something out of this world. k :k *, The fact of the matter is that Harness Horse racing have fallen down in one highly important par- ticular, IT HASN'T ATTRACT- ED THE PROPER PEOPLE, Most of those you see at Standard meets are folks interested in breed- ing, owning and racing trotters and pacers or men and women intrigu- ed in the sport itself, What they need is the type of elan who goes in for the racing game not because he gives a boot for it, but because it gives him a chance to ,et his name and picture in the papers as- sociating with the elite—even the remote possibility of seeing him- self pictured on the front page of The Globe & Mail accepting a ''up from the hands of Royalty. if the Trotting and Pacing crowd could only get a few of THAT SORT interested, we'd have floodlight racing so fast that Bob Saunders would hardly have time to turn the Hydra -juice un., * ae k And when the season was over nobody, would he the worse off ---or any more badly broke -- than they are now when Woodbine, Duticrin. Long Branch, Hamilton, Stanford and all the rest of them get through improving the breed. All .. this, of course, is a strictly personal opinion. However, that's the way we feel about it, and we cannot say other - e. TWO YOUNG MEN AGE 22 TO 28 TO TRAIN AS SALES ATTENDANTS for Dr, Scholl's Foot Comfort 'Shops in London and Toronto.
