CAN DETERMINE SEX OF DAY-OLD CHICKS Keen eyesight and nimble fingers may be as important to the poultry man as his knowledge o f rations, in the future, should a system of sex determination now being introduced in Japan gain favor in America. Mr. Yogo, Japanese scientist, startled poultry experts recently at the International Baby' Cick Associa­ tion convention at Grand Rapids, Michigan, by determining the sex of one-day-old baby chicks in six and a half minutes', without an error. Skeptical poultry experts, after Mr. Yogo had completed his demonstra­ tion, opened the chicks and through post mortem examinations checked upon the accuracy of the determina­ tions. Practical application of the Jap­ anese system is seen in the savings that may be effected by destroying the male chicks, which eat quite as much as the female chicks, before their uselessness is exposed by de­ velopment of mannish characteristics. In the case o f Leghorns, which are of little value as broilers, this is said to be an important item. With the heavier breeds, the male chicks may be disposed of to broiler producing plants, Saving on brood­ ing equipment is a third possible benefit. It is not expected that the Jap­ anese method Will gain immediate favor in America. Mr. Yogo explains that his ejepertnoss has been developed over a period of years, and that Canadian students at the University of British Columbia were able, after considerable coaching, to attain only 75 per cent of accuracy. Power and Light Company. Some in­ teresting figures are disclosed in a statement made public by Mr. Heath- man. His statement in full is as follows: “Data covering the light and power industry for the month of June 1933 as compared with the same month in 1932 shows sales to ultimate consum ers increased 11.6 per cent this year as against June of 1932, but it is in­ teresting to observe at the same time and with this increase in mind, that the total revenue from ultimate con­ sumers, comparing the same two months of the same two years, showed a decrease. As a plain matter of fact, what these figures do show is that actually there was a’ loss of $29,000 in revenue from customers despite the fact that the kilowatt hours of electricity sold increased this June over last June by 581,076,000. At a time when much is being said in the country about why electric rates do not come down, these figures, which represent very accurate research a- mong light and power companies, would seeni to demonstarte beyond question or doubt that there has been a decided decrease in electric rates to ultimate consumers. Otherwise, with the increased usage of electricity rep­ resenting ll,fi per cent, there would not be less revenue" obtained from the ultimate consumers. A factor that has entered into this falling-off in revenue is directly attributable to lower rates put into effect by light and power companies. What is true in the national figures is; practically true so far as The Dayton Power and Light Company is concerned. Com­ paring June of 1932 with 1933, an in­ crease in kilowatt hoijtrs sold of 31 per cent is disclosed Jby the local ultility, whereas the increased revenue despite this increase in consumption of electric energy o f 31 per ceht, is only 3 per cent. “ The electric industry in good times and in had times is obliged to main­ tain its facilities at 100 per cent, thus being prepared for the greatest maxi­ mum load demand upon its service. In rather recent days, there has been an appreciable .increase in the cost o f coal and coal is a permanent factor in the most of generation of electric energy.” • “ A chart just finished by our com­ pany’s statisticians in Dayton shows ■ ;hat the cost o f living is still 25.7 per cent above that of 1915, while the domestic average electric rate per kilowatt hour today is 30.9 per cent below the 1915 coat to ,the customer. Constantly increasing taxation levied against public utilities, in which The Dayton Power and Light Company has shared, shows that taxes to be paid by The Dayton Power and Light Company during the next twelve months in a support of Fc> al, State and local governments will take twelve cents out of every dollar paid by customers for services rendered by the local utility. In other words, one- eighth of every bill paid ,goes to the support of government of some kind. It is estimated that during the ensu­ ing year, The Dayton Power and Light Company will pay over $1,216,- 000.00 in taxes. If this were equally divided among all customers of the company, it would amount to more than 96c a month, or $11.66 per year per customer. Public utilities, in fact, have become "tax-collecting agencies for government, and while . the in­ dustry recognizes that government can be supported only through rev­ enues received through taxation, utilities, while they are glad to assist in governmental support, feel that there should be more of a sense o f fairness exercised in respect to their operation.” GROCERY HOURS The following will be the closing hours for local groceries, M.
