The FACTS Say VOTE,
YES On MAY 21
The program is GENEROUS and FAIR to the small grow-
New, Permanent legislation recognizes his contribution
to the Nation’s supply of wheat aiy! provides that he will
continue to produce his historical share of this grain.
Wheat allotments for Lancaster County under the 1964
Wheat Program are greater than they were under the 1963
program.
This is a great advantage especially to small farmers
interested in planting more wheat during the ensuing year.
A, no. vote in the referendum would mean price supports
at 50 per cent of parity to growers who do not evceed their
allotment, and no diversion program.
The referendum will be a down-to-earth “dollars and
cents” decision for the Parmer.
Vote, YES, for your own welfare.

What determines laying house profits? Price of eggs?
Disease? Cost of feed? Rate of lay? Yes... all these
are important, but record-keeping Eastern poultry
men will telf you the biggest factor of all is the hind -
of a pullet you start with!
They’re not talking about the different strains, neces
sarily. They’re merely saying that pullets started and
raised right— with the best of breeding, feeding, sanita
tion, and management—invariably make more eggs
and more money than those raised any other way.
In fact, poorly-raised pullets sometime fail to make
a return over feed cost!
So raise them on the Purina Program. We’ll help -you
all we can with advice on debeaking, housing, feeding.
We have Purina disease treatments and wdrmers with
Research-approved directions on how to use them.
We’ll help you wind up next fall with a bunch of big,
sturdy, Purina-fed pullets developed to return good
money for you in the laying house.

51,000 Rabbits
Trapped In Pa.
Final compilation of reports
on the results of the 19 63 lab
bit trapping and transfer pro
gram conducted each year by
the Pennsylvania Game Com
mission shows that 51,720 cot
tontails were moved to new
homes in the country last win
ter.
.Ralph E Britt, Chief of the
Commission's Division of Pro
pagation, said today that tho
i albbits were Irve-trapped dur
ing January and February hy
agents appointed by the Com
mission All rabbits were turn
ed over to Pennsylvania gamo
protectors for release on farms,
game lands and other areas
open to public hunting.
Most of the rabbits were re
moved from city parks, subur
ban gardens, golf courses, ceme
teries and other places closed
to hunting. Rabbits in these
areas pose a problem to home
owners and gardens when they
cause damage to vegetables,
flowers and shrubs.
The Commission -program,
according to Britt, is aimed at
relieving this damage. During
the 196'2 trapping season, a to
tal of 48,000 rabbits were live
trapped and transferred.
Deer Hides

Deer killed on Pennsylvania
highways or shot illegally by
hunters do not all go to waste.
This was indicated, at least, by
results of a sale recently held
by the Pennsylvania Game
Commission.
T P Bell, Chief of the Com
mission’s Division of Law En
forcement, reported that a to
tal of 2,628 deer hides were
sold last month by the Com
mission The sale netted the
Game Fund $6,311 80 with an
aveiage price pei hide of $2.-
40. A Reynoldsville hide and

All deer hides came from
deer killed by vehicles or in
other accidents plus illegal
kills salvaged by game protec
tors The carcasses of these an
imals, if fit for human con
sumption, are turned over to
charitable institutions Com
mission field officers skin and
preserve the hides of these
deer, holding them for public
sale each year In 1962 th®
Commission sold 2,229 hides at
an average price of $2.15 for a
