An outstanding
characteristic
of K-137
KimberCHlKS
'As of January 1, 1956, K-137
led in early egg size
ta all three official random sample
nests in which they were entered—
California, Missouri, and Utah,
fimce large eggs are often worth
koo% more than small, and 35-
§O% more than medium, this char
acteristic of the K-IS’ can make a
, great difference in income during
ijha pullet year.
The K-137 is also noted for its
food egg quality, both shell and
icerior. The high percerSage of
firm albumen results in more AA
quality eggs.
The K-137 has good Inability...
>5.4% to about 18 months in the
three official tests in which they
were entered last year.

Ephrata in Eastern Pennsyl

make a careful check of egg
production cost. He and Jim
Rupp, serviceman from his
dealer in Ephrata, kept track
of every egg laid and every

Egg Production
Takes Third Drop
- Pennsylvania egg production
for the third consecutive year
dipped below the preceding year’s
figure, the State Department of
Agriculture said today
Surveys by the Pennsylvania
Crop Reporting Service show
3,51 million eggs were produced
in 1957, nearly two per cent below
the 3,629 million output for 1956.
The record year was 1954 when
3,654 million eggs were pioduced
in Pennsylvania.
December 1957 production fig
uies played a major role in the
output decrease, the Department
said. Layers in flocks produced
305 milion eggs, 21 million fewer
than for the same month in 1956.
Poultry feeds in December 1957
averaged 10 to 20 cents a bun
dled wdight below the prices for
the same month in 1956.
Business poultrymen are buying PURINA feed

end of 7 months’ record here
is his conclusion:
“I have always considered
Purina a good buy because of
its quality and efficiency.
Now I know it What’s more,
I get the free help of a
trained serviceman whenever
I need it. And Jim’s right
here close to home.”

MECHANIZATION' HAS GREATLY increased the output per man
hour invested in agricultural production However, the United States
Department of Agriculture chart above illustartes that some areas of
agricultural production are better suited to take advantage of such,
pi ogress than are others. For example, meat animal production per
man-hour increased only 25 per cent since 1910 while feed gram
production has jumped an amazing 349 per cent,
