TAX INC Higher Dairy Supports The amendment to boost dairy supports was sponsored by Rep. Thomas G. Abernethy D-Missl, after the committee rejected an other plan advanced by Rep. Au bust H. Andresen (R-Minn). An dresen's proposal would gradually have boosted dairy supports about six per cent above present levels, starting Aug. 1. But the committee adopted two other Andresen amendments. One provided for continuance and ex pansion of federal subsidies to encourage consumption of milk by school children. The other would continue federal indemnities to farmers who slaughter cattle in fected with brucellosis. The two-price plan for wheat would add one-half cent or more to the cost of producing a loaf of bread. But it would eliminate costly Subsidies the government now is paying on exports. Wheat as Feed The plan, ; sponsored by Rep. Clifford R. Hope of Kansas, senior Republican on the committee, would provide farmers with a high price guarantee for wheat consumed! domestically as food, but would allow little, or no, gov ernment support on wheat export ed or consumed as livestock feed.

I K-LianinG"1 I II By TERESA REESE United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO CUP) George Suga- mo can t 1 understand why more Americans don't become Kanbet- suhis and earn 100 dollars a day. Kanbetsushi is Japanese for chicken sexor, and Sugamo is president of the National Chick Sexing Association. Sugamo, who runs a school in connection with his business, ex plained Tuesday that chick sexing is a method of determining the sex of chickens shortly after birth. The process was "invented" by a Japanese university professor about 30 years ago, he said, and so far the Japanese seem to have a corner on chick sexing. The method "was introduced in this country about 20 years ago by Japanese students of the professor and about three fourths of the estimated 2000 chick sexors in the United States are either Japanese or of Japanese extraction. Can Save Farmer Money "I can't figure it out unless it's because Japanese have smaller, softer hands and better eyesight than Caucasians," said Sugamo, who wears rimless glasses. "Or maybe it's because Japanese are more industrious at tedious tasks." Sugamo said a sexor studies the anatomy of a chick before it is a day old to find out of its s a cock erel (male) or pullet (female). "Knowing the sex of a chiecken can save a farmer or hatchery owner a lot of money, he said. "because only females are money makers." "Before it was possible to spot a male or female chicken immed iately, raisers had to spend money 0 m A1.5 1 ior ieea, transportation, nouMng and labor for all their chickens for at least five weeks. Now1, all the males except those used for breeding are destroyed right away and only the females are kept. By knowing the sex of a chick, a raiser can save $1.00 on one- bird in five weeks. That's lot of money when you have large flocks." Can Earn $10o--day Sugamo was born in Los An geles 39 years ago and became a sexor when he was 26. He doesn't know why it's spelled s-e-x-o-r instead of sexer, except "maybe it's like professor." ! A good sexor," he said, "can sex 1000 to 1200 chickens in an hour and charges one cent a chick. During the season (March through June) an expert can earn 100 dol lars -a day because he has con tracts with a number of hatcheries. Sugamo said he operates one of three chick sexing schools that he knows about in the United States. His students go to "classes' tor five hours a day, six days a week from July 1st to the begin ning of March. , They get their diploma if they can "sex" with 98 per cent accur acy, a figure that must be guar Cat erina As You Wish, Where You Wish Large or Small Parties - Weddings - Receptions - Etc.
