If we were to ask a number of Poultrymen what they wanted in a chick

bet that about three points would cover everything.
1. They would want a starter that would. give good performance.
2, They would want 'a starter that was economical to buy.
3. They would want a garter that was sure to be fresh.
Based on past performance, and this year with increased protein, extra •
