That need , are wortji scarce prices that make Europe the war is over for thousands o£ people, but the aftermath of war Made and Sold by E Over in J _ is more horrible in many cases3 than war...itself, for hunger and famine are stalking the land. *<« ■ • * But what a different picture here in Canada! Our few sacrifices a passing thought. There is food a-plenty for everybody, and at food available to all. One vital need of the hungry peoples of Europe is for pork and will exist for niontlis to come. It is up to the farmers of.. Canada to supply that need to the greatest possible extent. Our hog production .iiiust not slip. We must raise more hogs “over here” for “over there.” By raising more hogs the Canadian Farmer helps himself too—because there’s money in hogs if they’re fed right. Feeding right means giving them a balanced feed-^your own grain and SHUR-GAIN 41%jHOG CONCENTRATE. The cost of raising a hog to market weight with this balanced feed is about $13.50, the. cdst of feeding on grain alone is about $19.80. You Save the difference of $6.30 per bog! Decide now to go after more money from your hogs, by feeding a balanced feed. SHUR-GAIN HOG CONCENTRATE gets hogs to market faster, and with the bet­ ter finish that brings bonus checks! T. B.
