SECOND—Because of increased operating costs includinii a higher e3pense for
labour, the dairies have had to increase their return by about 1/2c a quart.
HERE'S WHY ---
the price of milk is being increased
FIRST—The farmers have found it necessary to increase the cost of milk to the
dairies by 55c per 100 lbs. or about P/2c per quart.
It is not the wish nor is it in the interests of your
dairy to increase the price of milk but just look at
the following figures—
In the last eight years while the average price
of a quart of milk throughout Ontario has gone• up
from 11.5 cents to 15.20 cents or 3.7 cents, less than
one quarter of a cent of this increase has gone to
your dairy. In other words up to July of last year
the farmer received 93.79% of the total increase.
The reason dairies have been able to operate with
a profit at all, is because of increased consumption
Wingham Milk Distributors
of milk and economies which were effected
through co-operation and efficiency, '
During the past year however, the consumption
of milk in Ontario has dropped 5% and the cost
of almost everything connected with getting milk
to you has increased very rapidly, •
It is the aim of your dairy to keep milk prices
as low as possible, in order that the consumer may
at all times be able to purchase an adequate supply
and the producer receive an equitable return for his
product.
YOUR DAIRY
The dairy which delivers milk to your doorstep
every morning is a servant of the community. It
is their duty to see that you and your neighbour
receive an adequate supply of milk in both winter
and summer and in all kinds of weather.

Prompt Delivery February Hatched
Day-old and 2 - 4 weeks old Chicks
We expect we can give prompt delivery in
most breeds for February and perhaps early March
in day-old and 2, 4, and 6 week old chicks and
pullets. Hundreds of customers who have their
orders in have booked for later delivery than last
year. We can change your order for earlier de-
livery. We tell you it will pay you well.. The few
cents extra fuel or feed costs won't be comparable
to the extra profits you will reap early nekt Fall.
Started chicks and pullets are all raised in modern
up-to-date equipment in air conditioned brooder
plant.
"A" LARGE EGGS 60 to 70 cents per
dozen Next Summer and Early Fall
We and othei: prominent Hatcherymen pre-
dict egg prices will be away above the floor export
price for the early Fall period at least.
Here's why—January and February and early
March hatchings will be down to 40-50% of last
year for Ontario and perhaps more for Canada as
a whole.
OLD HENS CUT DRASTICALLY
by June
The production of eggs (A Large) from old
hens will probably be cut by 50% during June,
July, August, September and October. Thousands
of hens have gone to market, and are going to
market now at high prices-26 to 32 cents a pound
alive at the farm.

Yes, Poultry Meat Prices have risen greatly
in the past 6 weeks and we say they will stay or
go higher. Here's why:
We have a good American market.
The duty has been reduced to 2 cents a pound.
The American production of Poultry is away
down. Turkeys are down fifty per cent.
Feed prices in the U.S.A. are still $2.00 per
hundred above ours and with only two cents duty,
and in a competitive basis we have the advantage
and our margin of profit in Poultry meat should be
as good as ever. From a census of most of the
large hatcheries bookings of Cockerels down 50-
7on a year ago—Poultry Meat will be very scarce
unless we miss our guess.

Dear Sirs:
Last year I purchased 450 Hybrid Pullets
from you and was more than satisfied.
I do actually say and will maintain your chicks
are the best I ever bought. I received 468, all
sturdy, vigorous and smart. At ranging time I
still had more than I paid for. At present out of
one pen of 200 pullets I am receiving 170 eggs
daily. I sell all my eggs to Bert Miller, Wallace-
burg, and I think Mr. Miller will tell you my eggs
grade the best of all the eggs he buys.
I remain,
Jno. A, Baker.

cqt is more important than ever that you start
your hoicks early this year. The Poultrymen who
started chicks early last year still made good
money but this year it is even more important.

It Pays to Stay In When
Others Drop Out.
If you go in and out of any line of business you are almost sure to be in
when you would probably be better out and OUT when you should be IN. The
more adverse conditions are today the better they will be tomorrow. Thousands
of buyers bought chicks last year because last year was good. Unfortunately,
this year was not so good, due to feed prices rising before Eggs and Poultry
meat prices were adjusted accordingly. However, they are being and will be
on a comparative basis. The law of supply and demand will take care of that.
The chickens you are buying now are for next year's production and profits,
so this is the time to stay IN or go IN if you are one of those who goes in and out
