Good news is here at last—egg prices are on the way up. And more good news —the fore cast is for one of the lowest Purina Chow prices in 10 yeare. This is a ready-made opportunity for you to make some mighty good egg money—-especially if you believe in feeding your hens good feed for top egg production. Save on Food Cost, Too Still more good news—records from 10,000 Purina customers show that most poultrymen can cut feed cost per dozen by feeding Purina. These folks who kept track and reported their results took only 414 pounds of Purina to produce each dozen eggs. That’s a full 1 pound less than the U.S. aver age as reported by the United States Department of Agricul ture. And that amounted to a saving on Purina of 5 to 7 cents a dozen.
