Rhode Island Red Jornal which I have read from 1912 to 1944. Then Ernie Jones Sec of the Red Club started the Red Folder from 1944 to 1947 then Ernie got Art Schilling to help him design the cover of the Rhode Island Red Chronicle which he did from 1947 to 1967. Then we have had differennt ones since the other secetaries took over. The next one I saw at the Tenn Universty Vet Library it is called the Plymouth Rock Monthly it is bound from 1912 to 1944. Then the Wyandotte Hearld same thing 1912 to 1944 all bound in perfect book form, the last is Leghorn World again all bound from 1912 to 1944. Andrew Studier was the editor of all these Journal along with his side kick O R Ernist a great judge and chicken man. About 20 years ago I sent a plea to Waverly Iow to the Waverly Publising company and thier was a old man who worked there who worked as a young man with Mr. Sutdier. He gave me the name of his daughter who was living in a retriement home. She said I will give you these old Rhode Island Red Journals that are bound they are from 1917 to 1944 if you will come up here and pick them up. I could not drive up their and pick them up but I got a idea one day when I was in a office supply store. I saw a big envelope with bubble wrap in it and I took a large bound book that I had from another breeder and put it in the envelope and took it to the post office. Then I purchased the postage for each envelope till I had enough for the 8 different units. I sent the envelples to Mr. Studerd daughter and each day she took one book and enveolope up to the nurses station to have mailed to me. Over a week each day I got a Rhode Island Red Journal sent to my home. I was the happiest Red Breeder in the world. I had all the Rhode Island Red Journals, Red Folders, Rhode Island Red Chrocles from 1912 to the present.
I read them over and over and over. I made photo copies of the top articles and shared them with the Red Club members as Classic Articles.
The moral of the story is these old books are still out their in Libaries. You can put a search into the goggle slot and find where most of them are. The super large Vet Libraryies around the coutnry have them. Each book is worth abot $200.
I gave mine to the top Red Folks that I cold trust. I hope in 20 to 40 years they will end up in the hands of the future super star Red Breeders. You can not give them to the current Secetaries. The Red club did this after Ernie Jones died and every secetary lost them or stole them.
Well its of to Handy Pandy Land and to water my ducks. bob
OK, the other two I couldn't think of was the Wyandotte Hearld and the Plymouth Rock Monthly.
Well I didn't do to bad, shoot I wasn't even around then..
(DOB 1971) I do try to read what I can on the R.I. Red and there was some good literature in the older books.
