Lower Costs Mean
Higher Profits
Mr. Farmer;
You'll agree that every dollar saved in feeding• costs means another dollar in
profits to you!
SHUR-GAIN FEED SERVICE undoubtedly saves you dollars in feeding costs
—because the added expenses of transportation and middlemen's profits are
eliminated by local grinding and mixing.
SHUR-GAIN FEED SERVICE gives you value for every dollar spent — for
SHUR-GAIN feeds are BALANCED. And Balanced Feeding means a full sup-
ply of high quality protein, plentiful essential minerals, and fortification with
„all the required vitamins. Thus balanced feeds are much more efficient than
others. '
Through SHUR-GAIN FEED SERVICE, the final cost of balanced ration's be-
comes so very little higher than the average.value of grain that the wisdom
of balanced feeding is obvious.

man for his ration book immediately
on arrival, pointing out that with it
they can serve better meals. Quite a

tea, coffee and butter,' because the hir-

Canada spent $912 millions in gat'
ual Aid in the first 10 months of the
Board's operations, out of which over
$723 million went to Britain. You may

craft; 3,075 armoured fighting vehic-
les; 72,585 mechanical transport ve-
hicles; 519,552 machine guns and
small arms; 551,090,000 rounds of am-
unition; 6,679 farm implements; 1,052
ships, besides large quantities of farm
products and food. We sent our first
shipment of mutual aid to Russia on
August 26, 1943. To the end of
March we supplied them with 13,500
tons of aluminum; 11,700 tons of lead;
1,500 tons of nickel; 120,000 tons of
flour and 10,000 tons of wheat as well
as complete lines of shellmaking
equipment. Despite limitations Of

Sound advice in connection with
coal supplies as summer will soon be
on the wane: place full orders for
coal at once; accept it whenever your
dealer can deliver it, and take what-
ever suitable kind he can deliver. It
is also suggested that now is the time
to clean heating equipment; to have it
in good operating condition and have
Storm doors and windows repaired
ready for next winter. We all know
we should follow this advice but

The urgent plea has gone out for
10,000 extra workers in the expansion
of Canada's ammunition production
program, Do 'you know that this year
the shell program will absorb 15% of
our total steel supplies, or about twice
as much as used for that purpose last
year. The Allies are not running short
of ammunition, but they're using it up
fast as the tempo of the 'battle every-
where increases,
At Waterloo, in 1815, the British
fired 37 tons of ammunitions in one
day. At Passchendaele in World War
I, the Canadian Corps averaged 1,-
370 tons every 24 hours. But today
a single 25-pounder gun can fire 1%
tons in half an hour. During the bat-
tle of the Moro River in the Italian
campaign, our 25-pounder batteries
pumped 250,000 rounds of ammunition,
more than 3,000 tons of the stuff, into sometimes procrastinate.
