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 and thrive on SHUR-GAIN Chick Starter be- cause it's made accurately and specifically fir 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 buy SHUR-GAIN. SHUR-GAIN Chick Starter is made locally, thus cutting out all the extra costs of handling, hauling, and middlemen's profits.

Bracken — the Farmer — was accepting the leadership of a great resurgent people's party. In ring- ing tones he was speak- ing of "The People's Ch.arter". And the soul- searching sincerity of this man of the soil, with , his vision of Canada, of Canadians and the "world of plenty that lies within our grasp". `was deeply moving. Picture the background of this man — this moment. John Bracken, the farm boy, on his father's farm in Ontario, milking, haying, carrying in the Wood, plowing ... then young Bracken, honours student at the Ontario Agricultural College going to Manitoba as represent- ative of the Department of Agriculture .. on to Saskatchewan as Superintendent of Fairs and Farmers' Institutes, and Secretary of the Provincial Livestock Association . .then, later, John Bracken, author, writing books about farms, farming, farmers ... And now years later, in Winnipeg, John Bracken, the farmer, is speaking of "the right of farmers and other primary producers to a fair share of the nation's income." Notice the simplicity of the language he uses, clear, concise — sincere. "During the last decade," he is saying, "farm income fell to such a low average as to become of very great concern in our Canadian economy. It is the responsi-bility of the nation to see that this great inequity shall not be perpetuated." Then, suddenly his voice rises, becomes even clearer, more incisive. "I may say quite frankly that if it had not been for that plank in your platform which pro-vides for a square deal for agriculture, I would not be here." Two years later, in Alliston, Ontario, again the 'same simplicity, the moving sincerity. "I am an agrarian," 'said John Bracken, "and I am. a Canadian . . . who seeks to correct the major soeiat injustice of our day the unfairly small share of the national income that goes to farmers and farm women and farm workers." Then, with a stateman's enlarge-ment of vision, he added, "When the injustice to the' farmer is removed, the economy of Canada as a whole will be strengthened." No one could be 188S parochial in his outlook -.mere deeply concerned with national welfare than John Bracken, the farmer who embarked twenty years ago On a career 86 successful as to be without precedent in contemporary political history within the British Cent.
