That's what we Canadian poultry raisers have been asked to turn out this year to help win the war and write the peace. W. A. Brown, head of the Dominion Poultry Services, says that we might "get by" with 345,000',,- 000 dozen — but asks for 365,000,000 if it is human- ly possible. Even the lower figure is 65,000,000 dozen" above last year. Canada needs those eggs this year . . 1943. Part of the increase has to come from present laying flocks. But an- `nother part will have to come from pullets hatched this season. If birds hatched this season are going to deliver any sub- stantial number of eggs this year, they'll have to be good chicks started early and grown right. We honestly believe that this is the profitable as well as the patriotic thing to do this year— start good chicks early, as many as you can handle properly, and as early as you can, Don't go by the date you started them hi former years . . go by the date you can get your brooder house ready and your feed and fuel on hand Thursday, March 4th,, 1943 WINGHAM .ADVANCX-TINIES LOCAL AND PERSONAL Mrs. Jack Mason is spending, a few .days in Straatford.
