Famous Signers
It has taken Hauptmann 28 of

thousands of miles of travel by

by the French Occupation Forces
in the Tyrolian capital of Inns
bruck as the railroad station in

with his hobby by button-holing
transiting celebrities for auto-
Saphs. The persistent Haupt

The toughest autograph to ac
quire, according to Hauptmann,
' was that of Ghandi. For four days,
the persistent Hauptmann tried
unsuccessfully to obtain an aud
ience with the Indian religious
leader.
But Ghandl was too busy with

Production of
Hybrid Chicks
Jumps Yearly
By Ley iBrady
CHICAGO-(iiP)-The son of the
man who helped pioneer the de
velopment of hybrid corn says pro
duction of hybrid chickens Is
moving swiftly along parallel
lines.
H. B. Wallace of Des Moines, la.,
son of former Vic President Hen
ry A. Wallace, predicts that hy
brid chicken development may
bring results almost as fabulous
as have been achieved in hybrid
corn. 't
The younger Wallace Is mana
ger of the Hy-line Poultry farms,
the largest of six companies which
make up the hybrid chick indus
try. He gives these figures for
Iowa alone:
During the current year 7,000,
000 hybrid chickens have been
sold at an average price of 29 cents
per chick. This is approximately
one-ninth of the total number of
chicks sold, in Iowa this year.
Hybrid corn was first sold In
Iowa in 1926. By 1932, Wallace
said, it formed one-half of one per
cent of the total corn crop in the
state. By 1936 this had grown to
14.4 per cent, to 96.9 per cent in
1941, and to 100 per cent by 1946.
"The usage curves of corn and
chickens coincide almost exactly,
both for Iowa and the nation,"
Wallace said in an interview dur
ing a business trip to Chicago.
"In seven years I should guess
that 75 per cent of the entire corn
belt chicken flocks will be hybrid
In-breeding of corn, has greatly
increased the per acre yields, he
added. He foresaw these similar
! advantages from hybrid chicks:
endurance said Ghandl, and ne Drid chicks wiU produce on the
average for a year, four dozen
more eggs per bird than will stand
ard lines.
Better egg quality "Eggs are
of uniform size and shape and
this can be controlled by breeding
the shell texture is good, and the
interior quality Is high. This
means the farmer gets the maxi
mum price per egg rather than a
spotty average depending upon
the spotty output of standard
lines."
More uniform output "hybrids
are relatively unaffected -by such
things as cold weather and molt
ing, which lower egg output They
also are more disease resistant"
Wallace estimated hybrid chick
ens this year have increased Iowa
farmers' income by $4,500,000. For
Illinois he estimated the increase
at $1,560,000, and said similar
boosts can be found in other egg
producing states. , t
"This is solely the result of
greater production per bird," he
went on. "Intangibles , such as
heavier eggs and more uniform
quality have not been considered."
The chicks, he said, are pro
duced by exactly the sane method
as Is hybrid corn by controlled
mating of brother and sister.
Thus, if chick A" comes of a
line erryin cood Interior tn
quality freedom from blood
spots, for example and chick
B'" line produces good-sized eggs,
the two are mated. The desired
quality is fixed in succeeding gen
erations by mating brother and
sister of the A-B hatch.
In corn, pollination is rigidly
controlled the same way to achieve
the same ends. Biologically, it is
the in-breeding which fixes the de

Hauptmann also Is proud of his
George Bernard Shaw Inscription,
land claims he was the fifth man
In the world at that time, to suc
ceed in acquiring the playwright's
"autograph. Thi was in London
In 1929 and Hauptmann, huge
crap book In hand, climbed the
steps to Shaw's apartment at No.
Whitehall Court where the maid
promptly slammed the door in his
face when be explained his mis

Hauptmann. not easily deterred,
tang again and this time Shaw
pened the door. Shaw apparently
was fascinated by the massive
black beard Hauptmann sported at
that time. Invited him in, exam
ined the autograph collection and
then added his own.
Thfc autograph-hunting career
Vegan In 1111 to San Francisco
where the youthful Hauptmann
kad laid over ! for a time on a
work-as-you-go trip around the
world. At that time his objective
was aimcOT to see the world but
after gathering his first autograph,
that of San Francisco Mayor
ltolph, Hauptmann changed his
I ebiective and began a career of
ravelin to dean autographs.
The venture was financed by
lobs as varied as his collection.
Three rears ago, Hauptmann
recalled, an American offered to
kirn close to. $7,000 for what he
considers the biggest collection tn
the world. Hauptmann refused
but now that the itinerant autograph-hunter
was recently mar
ried - and has settled down, he
ould use gome extra money.
