All Purpose Rye Acreage Last Fall
Estimated at 4.41 Million Acres, AMS
The acreage seeded to rye in
'this country for all purposes'last
fifli is now estimated by the Agn
culural Marketing Service at 4.41
million acres. This is three per
cent less than the 4.56 million
seeded the year before but about
one-fifth above the 1945-54 aver
age of 3.64 million acres.
AMS also reports that disap
pearance of rye from July
through December of 1956 totaled
22.6 million bushels, the largest
since 1945. Exports accounted for
6.9 million of the total disappear
ance, which compares with 3.4
million for the six months a year
earlier and the largest in nearly
30 years.
Give your chicks a Super-Start!
Your chicks should grow up to 5.4% faster on 7.6% less feed
per pound of gain than ever before on Purina Startena!
sr Purina scientists have done it again! They have improved
even last year’s wonderful formula so much that you can see
* d “the faster growth—the better coloring-the extra fine
feathering.
97% LIVABILITY. Last year over 11,000 folks who kept rec
ords on 2,364,891 chicks proved that they could get 9796
livability. That is 97 chicks raised out of every 100 bought.
LOW IN COST. It costs so little^to give your chicks a wonder
ful start on Super Startena.Feed just 2 lbs. per small breed
chick or 3 lbs. for heavies. That is all it takes—just a few
pennies—to grow big, well-feathered young pullets about 5
weeks old.
