Get An Egg Up On Production With
Southern States Pullet & Layer Feeds.
You don’t get ahead by standing still. To
boost egg production and profits, it pays to
depend on the “eggs-traordinary” advanced
feeds and services of Southern States.
A leader in poultry nutrition and research,
Southern States improves hen productivity
with advanced pullet and layer feed formulas.
These formulas stimulate early feed consump
tion and a smooth transition from pullet feeds
to layer rations. They also help control excess
moisture and reduce phosphorous in manure
for a cleaner, healthier environment.
Southern States stands i-ehind its feeds with
superior service. Modern, efficient mills in
Hagerstown, Md. and Gettysburg, Pa. assure
Oemend was light to instances fairly good,
mostly moderate, and beet where featured.
Food service demand remained mostly
moderate. White egg supplies of the large
sizes were usually at least adequate while
lighter weights supplies were adequate to
Instances barely adequate. Brown egg sup
plies were fully adequate and available.
Breaking stock supplies were adequate for
the light demand. Light type hen supplies
continued fully adequate to ample.

DAILY NATIONAL GRAIN
SUMMARY
Grain and soybean bids were moderately
to sharply lower, today, as good weather
forecasts and some profit taking on the
Boards pressured markets. Wheat 1 to 5
cents lower. Com 3 to 6 cents lower. Sorg
hum 8 cents lower. Soybeans 10 to 14
cents lower. Wheat bids dropped mod
erately lower despite good overnight
export sales. Favorable growing weather in
winter wheat areas and spurts of fund sell
ing weighed on bids. Additional weakness
was due to large stocks figures for World
and US wheat. Sharp declines in com and
soybean bids are seen as traders made cor
rections after yesterday's sharp increases
and profit taking was noted on the board. A
