THE OREGON STATESMAN. SALEM, OREGON HEADQUARTERS T OUGHT TO BE FOR THE GREAT FAVEROLLE BREED OF POULTRY Eugene T. Prescott, Salem, Oregon, UJ S. A., Has Worked for Thirteen Years In ; Building up and Developing This Great French Breed of Chickens, That Is In ' Great Demand in the Paris and London Markets, and Which Leads Also in Eng land and Ireland and Has Been Adopted as the National Bird in Switzerland. This in. net an advertisement. It Js a contribution of The States man 'to a man considered by the editor of this paper as deserting ol succem in the chosen line to which be has been devoting 13 years of study and -painstaking care giving it all of his spare time-'-he being primarily an or chardist in the Polk county fruit district west of Salem . And this prominence is given A J JL i ..i - i 1 to this man because the editor of The Statesman believes his f forta have brought him to a point where he can be of real service in the development of a great and useful Industry in the Salem dis trict poultry breeding on a com mercial scale; and, further, that proper support now cn the part of the people of this section will result in making Salem the head quarters of a gr?at breed of poul try for all North America, and give this city world wide promi nence In this line A distinction that will be worth vat sums of ; money annually to this section. Therefore The Statesman takes pleasure In introducing to its readers everywhere the man who ras contrinmea more than any other single American citizen to ward the fast growing popularity ottbe Faverolle breed of chick ens, Sir. Eugene T. Prescott, Sa lem. Oregon. Mr. Prcscott has bred tire Fa verolles for 13 years and has cus tomer In nearly every state In the union, and some across the water. Faverolles were ? but little known in this country when Mr. Prescott first secured his stock Because of his zealous efforts in promoting the bread he was ap- It was of no importance to him, as the bird laid as many eggs and fold for as much on the mar ket as though she had five toes on each foot. He was no fancier. It was not until the English fan cier, about 1892. awakened to the fact that the Faverolles had a great future before them if they were properly bred, and took nosa of them, that the breed began to see the Jigat of a new day.

Mr. Prescott contributed short mention of the Faverol!e3 for the Welcome edition of The Statesman which aroused consid erable interest and a demand for further information concerning tms breod. The Statesman is indebted to Mr. Prescott for the following in teresting history of the "Faver olles Faverolles are a French pro duction. They are bred in -seve ral different colors salmon. white, ermine, black, blue, buff and spangled. The salmon vari ety was the foundation for the rest of the family and is the only one recognized by the American Poultry association. In due time the rest will be admitted to the standard which will go far to ward popularizing the breed. To produce this breed the Houdan, Dorking and Asiatics were used. 'The breed possesses many fea tures that make them very much unlike any other breed.

This extra protection nature has given them makes them very much adapted to the open frout bouse so generally used and practically immune from the 111 effects of changing weath er conditions. "The muffing on the sides ot the head, limiting their vision. compels them to' spend more time in search of food ttian were it not for this peculiarity. 'While the Faverolles are ex cellent forager?, yet their quiet nature makes them an ideal fowl or confinement. They are as contented in a show coop as in he bark yard or on the farm; they are in fact the personifica- ion of contentment. They enjoy familiarity and court attention. "Faverolles are not persistent setters as are some of the heavier breeds, but are very faithful when allowed to set. and because of their quiet nature, make ex- celent mothers. "The chicks are supplied with an abundance of down, which makes them easily raised by the tireless brooder method. "Unlike many breeds of poul try the Faverolle chicks are never without their natural protection. This is particularly true with the pullets. The cockerels feather out more slowly, and because of this their development is ranch more rapid. Properly bandied they are ready for the market at five weeks old and when dressed present a plump, well-rounded ap pearance, it is common for them to weigh, four pounds at 16 week:!

This charge v.-as made by a large delegation of leading Silverton citizens and members of the National Guard company at Silverton who ap peared before the court yesterday on behalf of the county appropria tion. To the county board's plea of a lack of available funds, it was ex plained by the Silverton repre sentatives, headed by Captain Archie II. Thomas, that the coun ty's share of the cost of the arm ory would be a wise investment and not a los since the govern ment pay roll for the isiiverton company, all of which is spent in Marion county, amounts to more than $li).000 a year. In reply to a question from Judge Hushey, the latter was capable ol paying. Germany, he said, had not yet been taxed to the level of Great Ilritain and France and It was Intolerable that a country held responsible for the war and which had suffered no damage should have a lighter burden than her victims.

Many other Importations have been made since. "Japan. Australia and the Ha waiian islands boast of many fine nocks of Faverolles. the founda tion stock of which came from this country. . "Faverolles are of medium weight. The .American standard or Perfection calls for the follow ing weights:' Cock, eight pounds; cockerel, seven pounds; hen, six and one-halt pounds; pullets, five and one-half pounds. The unique feature of the Sal mon Faverolles is that the breast of the male is black, while that of the female is cream. "as a show bird the coloring of the . Salmon Faverolle cock is unsurpassed. The rich reddish brown Tjf the back and ctfpe. and the strong straw color of the sad dle, neck and wingbow, and the black breast, fluff, tail, muffing and beard, produce an artistic ef fect that rivals that of the color ing of the China pheasant male bird: (Oregon's most beautiful game bird). . . , "The hen is not so highly dee orated, but the rich rreamwolnroi1 breast and" fluff, set off by tb3 salmon-brown of her back, wings and tail make her quite arlsto- cranc jn appearance.

It Is true that good Judg ment must be used to secure the best results. "The whites are of n more re cent origin than the salmon vari ety and it is very possible that after they have been in the hands of the fancier as long as have the salmon variety they -will possess no greater breeding- problems than do the salmon variety.

"The Faverolles are much sought after by the dealers who cater to the London trade.

Mr. Prescott has come to a point where he needs help Not help In the way of money from his neighbors, but help that will cause him to pay money to his neighbors, big money, too. He has more calls for eggs and breeding stock than he can him self supply orders from all over this country, and "from Janan. Ha waii and other conntripa ! So he wants the people of this section to raise Faverolles, and he will buy their eggs and stock from them, to help fill his orders. He realizes that in doing this he will be raising up a generation of competitors: but he is not wor rying about this. He thinks there is room for all. and larger profits for those who will do the out standing things in breeding, and fame that will be worth vast sums for this district. The Statesman will be glad to refer to this matter often; and the editor hopes to be able to re port progress from time to time, and, in due course, to announce a healthy Faverolle boom for the Salem district and. finally, many great commercial poultry plnU Here m ine central part of the Willamette valley.

BIRMINGHAM, Eng.. Feb. 5. The British premier's advice to Germany is to accept the bill for reparations as formulated by the supreme council. "Our claim is a righteous one and we must enforce it," he de clared in a speech here today. He replied to the speech in the reich stag by Dr. Walter Simons, in which the German foreign min ister stated that the reparations plan could not be accepted by Germany as a basis for negotia tions. "A great part of this speech." the premier said, "was based on a complete misconception of what has been done at Paris. Such misconception could be cleared up in the London conference. It a full bill were sent Germany ac cording to the Versailles treaty she would be compelled to ac cept it. but I fail to see how that would imnrove matters and I ad vise Dr. Simons to take the Paris bill. "If h-? has any alternative pro posals, the allies are prepared to consider them so long as the pro posal represents a' bona fide ef fort to liquidate the liabilities of Germany. We are willing that Germany should pay us under conditions which best suit her own means, requirements and resourc es, but if it is a mere attempt to evade payment, we cannot put up with that." The premier pointed out before the last election he had empha sized that Germany was morally bound to pay for the wanton dam age she had inflicted, but that one could only get from a debtor what ment, "and I was sure that I knew the handwriting an the oth er paper, but couldn't place it. j And I have seen Dr. Pettit write with his left hand." Without volition of my own I found my eyes drawn to those of the young physician. There was a look in his. a flush upon his thin cheeks that told me he, too. I remembered that hectic luncheon when he had traced the unmean ing characters ambfdextrously in his preoccupation and- agita tion. I took refuge In feigned sur prise. Two Thiags Explained. "So you were the man in the taxi and ion horseback!" I ex claimed as if the idea had just occurred to me. but I saw a look of ironical understanding flash into Dr. Pettit's eyes, knew that I hadn't deceived him by my pre tence of sudden remembrance. "Guilty on both counts." he returned with a slight bow. add ing with a smile: "I must con gratulate you on your getting away that day. You completely fooled me. but you came near paying dearly for it." I looted my astonishment at his knowledge of my encounter at the inn. "Oh. we arn't out of touch with things,'' my father said proudly. even if for a time we are com pelled to hide here like rabbits. There are a faithful one or two who know where we are. and with Kato as our message bearer we are able to keep our fingers upon tne pulse of alfairs."

Of course. It will be a two-step. Although during the past week 300.000 pounds of Mistland prunes ' were sold oa the New York mar ket by R. C. Paulus. it Is thought, that additional sales for the pres ent may be curtailed, due to the fact that Oregon- competitors on the New York market are offer ing prunes at cut prices. This cut In price amounts to one half a cent's pound tinder quota tions for Mistland prunes of the 40-50 size, and one cent a pound under the Mistland prices fof the 50-60 and 0-70 sizes. Due to this' cutting In price by independent packers, dealers In New York -city are now of the opinion there is an Immense ton nage In Oregon that must be sac rificed at any figure. Hence they are hesitating to buy. - Growers who are selling to In dependent'Tackers are to a large extent responsible for this demor. allzed condition of the market as they are directly aiding in this price cutting when they sacrifice their own stocks at a figure mar ket conditions do not Justify.
