Well, if you could, what would you, do to improve your farm and increase your pro- duction? Would you build a modern barn? or buy new machinery? or modernize your house? or electrify your farm? You can raise short term money from your bank; and long. term money from other institutions by way of mortgage. But there are some things you would like to do which require loans that are neither long nor short ... That is where the banks, operating under the new Farm Improvement Loans Act, can help you. The gap has been filled. "Intermediate" loans at a specially low rate can now be obtained for periods of two or three years—or even longer, in cases up to ten years. So, if you have a project.in mind to improve your farm, drop in and talk, it over with your local bank manager. Ask him what he is now em- powered to do to help make your farm living more attractive and your work more profitable. He will tell you—and show you.—that your bank is just as eager to meet the Sound credit needs of the farmer as of the merchant or Manufacturer. 1 or Bank 111111111111111111NIMINIIIMINalliennanalirliaaralltatailialalaltrallalis. THE RACE OF LIFE IS ON Each year, more •and more farmers start their chicks on SHUR-GAIN Chick Starter, than ever before. There's a reason why each year more chicks are start- ed on SHUR-GAIN than on any other feed—in fact, there are several reasons. .1. Chicks like a fresh tasty feed. If they like their feed, they eat more, and grow faster. Chicks like SHUR-GAIN Chick Starter, because it's made so fresh, it's ground so carefully, and it's made of only the finest and most palatable ingredients. 2. Chicks need a finely-balanced combination of feed materials, with particular attention paid to the correct amounts of vitamins, minerals, and' high quality animal proteins. Chicks grow aind thrive on SHUR-GAIN Chick Starter be- cause it's made accurately and specifically for their needs. 3. 'There's solid value given for every dollar spent. You pay for no expensive frills, yet get full value for every cent you spend for your chick starter, when you buySHUR-GAIN. SHUR-GAIN Chick Starter is made locally, thus cutting out all the extra costs of handling, hauling, and middlemen's profits. Grow better chicks for less money, the SHUR-GAIN WAY!
