PROFITS
Making money with layers is not as easy as it used
to be.
But many thousands of poultry farmers are making
money with Purina high-efficiency Laying Chows.
There’s a reason.
Purina high-efficiency Chows are developed at the
Purina Research Farm to deliver more egg-producing
calories . . . more minerals . . . more vitamins . . . bet
ter protein balance . . . than you get in less efficient
laying rations.
So thousands of customers find they get more eggs
on less feed and at lower feed cost per dozen.
Feed Purina and see for yourself. Get it at the Store
with the Checkerboard sign.
LOW COST PRODUCTION ...

great that $5OO and two pure
bred Holstein calves were do
nated to the chapter.
The chain works in. this.man

born m the first thiee freshen

turn it to the chapter to be
awarded to another memlber.

must write a comip’lete plan foi

in sue Parts Denanment, me seasons nun Early Before the
first baler, forage tool, combine or picker takes to the field, the harvest season is
over in our parts department. Weeks ago, our parts specialist took inventory of his
stock. Then, using factory-prepared catalogs, he placed his orders well in advance
of the season. Thanks to his foresight, you can move through the entire year’s oper
ations comfortably aware that your John Deere partsman has anticipated your needs
and stands ready to help. Excellent parts follow-through is another customerized
service that helps insure you of greater satisfaction and value when you invest in
modern John Deere products from The Long Green Line.
