SPRINGTIME TO ME'
I love the melodies of Spring,
The robins call and the eaves
that sing,
The chorus voices of tree and
bower,
The lilting nod of every
flower,
The call of wild life glad
to be
A part in Springtime's min-
strelsy,
The grazing cattle, pastures
green,
The happy moon casting a
silver sheen,
The stars that smile and blink
their eye,
As I watch the mysteries of
the sky,
A fireside friend, a spot of
to
' God's constancy, is all this
to me, '
When Spring poursforth its
artistry.

Lcosts you more to live these days.
- And it costs your bank more to provide
efficient banking service.
Bank staffs are more than half as Large
again as before the war; payrolls have
nearly doubled. Taxes are up. So is the cost
of everything banks buy.
Yet you pay no more for banking service
than you did ten years ago. Today 7,000,000
Canadians are bank customers—striking
evidence of the ever -widening usefulness of •
competitive banking in our national life.

This year can be your golden
opportunity in the chicken
and turkey business .. .
HERE'S WHY?
1. Feed Prices are Going Down, DOWD... , and likely will continue to
clo 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 prd pests of a goo'' seeding with a higher
acreage and possibly only 50% as much stock, hogs and poultry to
feed, the feed prices ,could easily take a real tumble.
2. Poultry Meet Prices Are Away Up . . . and Nook as f they would
stay up. Old hens se -for 27c t� 30c: 3-4 1b. chicken at 37c -40c per lb.;
Capons 370-40c; turkeys up to 45c lb.—all prices alive, at the farm.
• 3-4 Lb: broilers are selling for 45c ib. alive in Detroit in truckload Iots.
');`here is 2c 1b. duty. There is a bigger margin of profit in •producing
Poultry Meat than ever. Broiler producers are reaping 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 gn top
of that, these were purchased as mixed chucks. 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 lb. duty on chickens and turkeys, we have all
the ,advantages of a big profit.
A MID -MARCH SURVEY BY THE U.S. DEPT.
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 distinct egg shortage is expected
Passing of the Marshall Plan calls for 3 million cases of eggs
in the. first 15 months. Egg production is expected to be down at least
4 million eases from a year ago.
FOLKS, the meat situation looks serious in the U.S.A.
The government reports:
55 million 'fewer hogs this year
78% 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 poultry . meats and
what it may do to poultry profits. Get set. NOW to fill this need. Order
your chicks to -day from LAKEVIEW..
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, Pall, and liext year. The Marshall Plan
calls for the purchase of all the surplus food Canada can supply.
The following its a brief report of a questionnatire compiled re-
eenty by the Canadian Baby Chick Association:.
THE QUESTIONNAIRE '
1: How do sales so far this season compare with last yea,r up or down, on
Unsexed Chicks .. Pullets Cockerels 7
2. What estimate have you on advance bookings, up or down, for
March.... . April May
9
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'
