A DIFFERENT and MORE EFFICIENT balance of the amino acids. 2. A SUBSTANTIAL INCREASE in the energy value. HOW WILL THESE RATIONS PERFORM? With these rations LESS FEED per lb. of live weight broilers will be required. Field tests would indicate an average 5% improvement in feed conversion. , The grower who has been getting conversion in a range of from 2.30 to 2.40 can with equal manage and enviromental conditions expect meal feed ratios of from 2.20 to 2.28. HOW ABOUT PRODUCTION COSTS ? Since these changes involve no increase in Early B : rd feed costs the net result will be a SUBSTANTIALLY LOWER COST PER LB. OF BROILER MEAT PRODUC ED. ® WHAT ABOUT FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS? An additional change in Early Bird broiler ration, which we think will be helpful and constructive has recently been cleared by the Food and Drug Admin istration. Final testing on this is now being conducted by our Nutrition Department. It upon completion of these tests we are 100% certain of the value of this change it will also be put into ef fect. v\\iF #/,/ ■~y Manufacturers of Poultry and Livestock Feed Since 1875 THE PATH OF PROGRESS New Broiler Feeds Sincerely yours.

After giving up their attempt, the last of thr girls started for the Over gaard house, only to realize they were lost in the woods.
