Official Forecast That Eggs Will Be Scarce from September to Jan
uary . ... Chicks and Pullets for May Delivery at Prices
You. Don’t Expect Till June.
11' HERE always has been money in May chicks, when you bought
, Quick-growing stock that would develop to laying at five months
old. Five months from May is October, which is right in the high-
egg-pnee season.
This year’s opportunity for May chicks is probably the best it has
ever been. You can buy chicks or started pullets today, for May de
livery, at prices you don’t expect till the middle of June. You have
the Department of Agriculture’s "official forecast that eggs will be
scarce (and, therefore, high-priced) from September to January. And
there is every likelihood that feed pricey will drop away down, as
soon as this season’s crop is harvested. The fellow who has eggs to
sell between September: and January should be able to more than
make up for the past Winter’s unfavorable situation.
Buy Started Pullets That Will Lay in September
We can supply you with pullets that are well started, and will be
laying in early September (or before) if well fed through the range
period. They are now three to 10 weeks old, and they are from our
famous Xtra-Profit” stock which has built up a country-wide repu
tation for rapid development, early eggs, large eggs, and the neces
sary ruggedness to stand continued heavy laying without moults or
set-backs. We have any number of reports showing “Xtra-Profit”
pullets up to 50% production at six months old, and continuing at
50% to 70% production throughout the entire Fall and! Winter.
We can give you your choice of seven popular breeds. Pullets three
weeks old and upward in all breeds, and up to 10 weeks in some
breeds.
