Moved by Strong and Parrish: That This year can be . your golden opportunity in the chicken and turkey business . HERE'S WHY --- 1.- FEED PRICES ARE GOING DOWN, GOWN . . . and likely will continue to do so unless something unforeseen happens. Quotations for delivery of grain when navigation opens are down $13.00 to $15.00 per ton. With an early Spring, ' and prospects of a good seeding with a higher acreage and possibly only 50% as much stock, hugs and poultry to feed, the feed prices courd easily take a real tumble. 2 POULTRY MEAT PRICES ARE AWAY UP . . . and look as if they would stay up. Old Lens sell for 27c to 30c; 3-4 lb. chickens at 37c -40c per Ib.; •Capons, 37c -40c; turkeys up to 45c ib.—all prices alive. at the farm. 3-4 lb. broilers are selling for 45c lb. alive in Detroit in truck load lots. There is 2c Ib. duty. There is a bigger margin of profit in producing Poultry Meat than e'er. Broiler producers are reap- tng a profit of 50c or more per bird in 10 to 14 weeks. One producer we know of made a profit of $5.000 in 12 weeks on 10.000 broilers. and on top of that, these were purchased as mixed chicks. The next lot may be even more profitable. 3. FEED PRICES IN CANADA ARE ABOUT $2.00 PER 100 LESS than in the U.S.A., and with 2c:b. duty or. chickens and turkeys, we have all the advantages of a big profit. .A Mid -March Survey By the U.S. Department of Agriculture A decline of 38% in chicks booked for April and May A 17% reduction in chicks hatched in January and February 26% fewer eggs in incubators in Mid -March - A distinctg shortage is expected Passing ofe Marshall Plan calls for three million cases of eggs in .the first 15 months. Egg production is expected to be down at least 4 million cases from a year ago.. FOLKS!!—The meat situation looks serious in the U.S.A.; the Government reports 55 million fewer hogs than. a year ago; 781/2 million fewer cattle; 35 million fewer sheep. Right down the line meat supplies have been cut drastically. You know what this shortage may do to the demand for chicken meat—and what it may do to chicken profits. Will a Shortage of Eggs in U.S.A. Affect Canadian Prices? Yes, it can in many ways. Hatching eggs may be shipped in large quantities this Summer. Fall. and next year. The Marshall Plan calls for the purchase of all the sur- plus food Canada can supply. The following is a brief report of a questionaire compiled recently by the Canadian Chick Association: THE QUESTIONAIRE 1. How do sales so far this year compare with last year, up or down., on Unsexed Chicks Pullets Cockerels 2. What estimate have you on advance bookings, up or down, for: March April May 3. In your opinion does the increased price for export eggs offset the increased price of feeds 4. Do you expect a very large Spring influx of chick orders? THE RESULTS UNSEXED CHICKS PULLETS No. 1 Question: Up Down Same up Down Same No. Hatcheries 1 28 11 11 26 3 Average Per Cents 48% 49% 8570 COCKERELS Up Down.

It seems all over the lot, and decidedly "spotty." Recent Government reports show about the same percentage down as the above except theirs is for the season, and (in Ontario) applies to Approval only. LAKEVIEW CHICKS Are as Good as or Better Than Ever With the higher cost of production and higher returns, it is more important than ever to start with LAKEVIEW Super -Bred and Superior -Hatched Chicks. 45,000 Lakeview Chicks Weekly Even though the total average produc- tion of Chicks is down to 40 per cent or more as shown on results of the Question- aire to Hatcheries, the production and sale of Lakeview Chicks is 85 per cent to 90 per cent of 14t year's. This speaks well for the Quality, Health, Vigour and Livabil- ity of LAKE'VIEW CHICKS. • • "I HAVE 100% LIVABILITY! . Many thanks for your fine shipment of Started Sussex Pullets," from John C.
