BUketlee I AP Science Editor NEW YORK A New business In tpe .United States, telling the iex if day-old chickens, pays from $4 ti $12 an hour. - Tnese chick-sexors, as they are Calldd, number only about 1,000 and post of them work only three or four months in a "year. In that $6,0f. Tile story of this business it told I in the American Scientist, by lohn H. Lunn of Brookston, Indilna. He points out that until 193a anybody who had ever hatch ed A chick thought you couldn't tell Ihe sex until the cockerel be gan jto make a comb. But the Ja pan) se found a way to determine the sex of a day-old chick. lit the depression it became ne cess ry to economize in breeding chic cens for eggs. It would save mon y if the males could be killed or ! sparated, and raised to the' ati; g stage. i T e discovery applied only to Leg orns. But Leghorns are a larg ( share of the egg business in the Jnited States. F ve Japanese sexors came to Vmerica to reveal that the "sec -et" was just a matter of skill In c bserving slight differences in shaie of small organs. But when Ami ricans first tried the trick, thej found that it took years to lear l. The difcrences in organs wer not uniform. S me of the Japanese were abl to sex 1,400 chicks an hour wit! an accuracy of 08 per cent. It vas years before Americans equ illed that record. S xors teaching schools were set tip n Kent and Bellingham, Wash. Lat r Dr. Morely Jull, then U. S. Pou try Husbandman at Belts- Seme of the famed wineries of tfiirhne nroduce as much in an en tirej year as a small Caiiiornia wi i4 hnttles in a dav. During the middle ages only so vereigns and princes were permu ted! to wear red. More States noiie than 50 cities in the United are now carrying on anti- campaigns. ville, Md. took over the training. Sexors went to Japan for train ing and returned to set up their own schools. A slow sexor turns out 100 chicks m 15 minutes. A fast one does 100 .in. four minutes. The I'M A BOW" 1 WAS tiORiNf 1MITH TILDE "BOOTEES Otifj mmmmm vv usual pay is one cent a chick. Gra duates of the American sexor schools are finding work in the United States, Cuba and Mexico. Most of them are affiliated with employment associations that place sexors. The American Scientist says the sexors have done well. Their earnings have bought them breed ing farms and hatcheries. Sooth's Cotton Acreage , Decreases During iS-iTs COLLEGE STATION, Raleigh Acreage of cotton has decreased In all the Southern States during the 1940's, reports C. Brice Ratch ford, in charge of extension farm management at State sollcge. The sharpest reduction, he said, has occurred in Oklahoma,' where the crop has decreased from an average of 2.197,000 acres during 1035-39 to 1.074,000 acres in 1946. This is a 51.1 per cent reduction. Using the same base years (1935. 39), there has been a 45.7 per cent decrease in Georgia and a 39.3 per cent decrease in North Carolina. Tho decrease in Texas has been 22.3 per cent, and in Mississippi it has been 19.0 per cent. In North Carolina, Mr. Ratch ford pointed out, all counties have shown a reduction in cotton acre age, with some counties noting very sharp decreases. Counties showing the greatest reduction are Martin, down 81 per cent; Pitt, down 64 per cent. Through better use o land and better cultural practices, growers have been able to increase their yields per acre. Therefore, Mr. Ratchford asserted, total produc tion of cotton has not decreased nearly so much as total acreage. In British show business, a sing er or musician who performs well is known as a "nice noise". NEWPORT Mr. Thomas Hill, of Charlotte, spent last week end here with his Darents. Mr. and Mrs. I. S.
