Profit Factors '%

DEKALB
Profit .
Pullets '
The largest share of your
profit comes from the top
10% of production It’s as true
of a laying flock as of a manu
facturing plant. Those extra
weeks of production can turn
your investment into an extra
profitable venture And those
last months of production are
the real measure of the birds,
too. DeKalb Profit Pullets
"shine” in the long lay depart
ment. They’re bred to do just
that —bred not only to hit a
high peak, but also to maintain
high production of quality eggs
—for 12 months ... 14 months
. . . or even longer.
