EGGS SCARCE NEXT FALL According to Official Market Forecast This Means Good Prices and Good Profits for Those Who Have Pullets in the Nests . . . Order Your Chicks Today The official Egg and Poultry Market Review from Ottawa, dat­ ed April 16th, contains the following striking statements: “In Ontario and Quebec, particularly, there is reason to be­ lieve that laying stock is now away below normal .... This condition, combined with reduced purchases of baby chicks, is causing real concern over the possibility of an egg shortage next Fall. The impression now is that eggs will be' scarce from September to January . . .” These statements bear out what we have been saying all Winter and spring—that there never was a more promising time to get into high-quality poultry stock. So again we urge alert-minded poultry­ men to get into Bray’s “Xtra-Profit” stock at the low prices we are able to quote this season. May-hatched “Xtra-Profit” pullets will lay in October, if well reared, and will cash in all Fall on the high prices we are bound to have if eggs are scarce. Slower-growing birds would miss the first half of the high-price season. Better Still—Buy Started Pullets 'On the strength of the above forecast, we believe you. will be still farther ahead to buy started pullets, and get them into the laying hiouse that much sooner. We can supply you with “Xtra-Profit” pullets, 3 to 6 weeks old, that are well started and should lay in August or early September, if you keep them growing. And our '“Xtra-Profit” stock has the reputation for CONTINUOUS high pro­ duction, without moults, slumps or other set-backs.
