State Corn Crop
86 Percent
Of Average Yield
Winter feed supplies for cat
tle on Pennsylvania farms are ex
pected to be short as a result of
below normal corn and hay pro
duction in southern and central
counties, according to the State
Department of Agriculture.
Federal-State surveys show pro
duction of hay and corn will be
below the 1946-55 average. To add
to the problem of farmers, much
oi the hay produced in these
counties has been fed to cattle
because of three months of sum
mer drought conditions.
Corn production on Oct. 1 was
estimated at 49,720,000 bushels
in comparison with a record 71,-
736,000 bushels last year and the
10-year average of 61,817,000
bushels.
Pennsylvania farmers are ex
pected to harvest 3,360,000 tons
of hay this year. In 1956 a total
of 3,466,000 tons was produced.
The 10-year average is 3,341,000
tons
The Department said hay qual
ity was good in most of the state,
but because of the prolonged dry

egg prices going up! Purina prices low!
This is the time to make good egg
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 years.
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 Feed 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
41% 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.

most immediately after cutting.

numerous trucks from western
counties and neighboring states
have been transporting hay into
southeastern Pennsylvana during
the past two months.

the state has affected sizing of

lay more of those good-priced
eggs. If you’re not already feeding
Purina, start them on Purina
Layena right away. More’poultry
'men —by far—feed it than any
other ration, because it does help
hens lay their best. And at very
low cost per dozen.

have or what your grain situation
may he... talk over your feeding
needs with us. Let us help you
start your pullets on Purina
Laying Chows for lots of eggs at
about 5 to If per dozen less feed cost
than average.

worming before going to the lay
ing house. Wormed birds are
healthier, need less feed. And
Purina Research has developed
low-cost Purina Liquid Poultry
Wormer for you. Just put it in
the drinking water. The cost —
only ]4.i to per bird! Come
