Ore not selling feed; they are
selling people. He said that every
man in the organization must
uphold the standards set for the

farm program,” he said. -
“Feed users in the Northeast
are being hurt to the advantage
of the Corn Belt producer,” he
added.
The integration program in
poultry and livestock production
was condemned by Carpenter as
“too socialistic.” He said that
such a program takes away the
incentive of the producer and
makes him an employee of the
feed company. _
Richard I. Ammon, .Ephrata,
executive secretary of the Penn
sylvania feed Healers and Millers
Assn, discussed the proposed
changes v to the state sales and
ue tax law that will affect agri
cultural commodities.
He said that changes are being
asked to eliminate confusion on
what is and what is not agricul

products. >
He said that the present law
puts the retailer in the position
of being both judge and jury in

He pointed out that confusion
is multiplied by decisions and
regulations coming out of Har
risburg. He gave as an example
that a barn broom is taxable,
but that a barn shovel is not
taxable.
He said also that dealers will
have to have farmers sign ex
emption certificates on all pur
chases or have each farmer cus
tomer sign an affidavit to cover
themselves against penalties im
posed by the tax commission.

Give your chicks a Super-Start!
Youf chicks should grow up to 5.4% faster on 7.6% less feed
per 'pound of gain than ever before on Purina Startena!
Purina scientists have done it again I They have improved
c\ en last year’s wonderful formula so much that you can see
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 97%
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 Starteoa.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.
Why take unnecessary chances with
disease when you. can do so much
to protect their health for only •
penny or two a chick. Disinfect
the brooder house with Purina
Disinfectant Keep drinking water
safer with Purina Check-R-Tabs.
