PREPARING AND SELECTING
THE WINTER LAYERS
Pullets for the laying flock must
have full opportunity, right from
hatching time up to maturity, to
make normal, healthy growth. This
requires, first, an adequate supply of
sthe proper feeds and, second, good
environmental condttidns. Over -
"crowding should be avoided and pre-'
cautions taken to guard the health
of the birds. Any birds showing
signs of disease or weakness should
1be disposed of immediately. It should
be constantly borne in. mind that the
maintenance of a healthy, profitable
flock requires that culling should be
a continuouseprocess the year round.
Commencing when the first few
pullets start to lay, it is a recom-
mended practice to go over the pul-
let flock every week or two, mov-
ing to their permanent winter quar-
ters all those that seem almost ready
to lay or have already started, states
L. A. Gnaedinger, Head Poultryman,!
Dominion Experimental Station, Len-
noxville P. Q. Feeding should have
been such that at this time, the birds
should be heavily fleshed and fairly
fat. The subsequent feeding program
should be designed to prevent any
marked decrease in body weight.
Each bird should be carefully exam-
ined at this time and any that are
poorly fleshed, very small, or de-
formed should be culled out. Heavy,
sustained egg production demands
healthy, well-developed bodies and
rugged constitutions.
In summary, one might say;
"Grow good birds and house no poor
ones".

UNDOUBTEDLY, one of the fundamental and very real functions
-of advertising is continually and everlastingly pounding home the
facts and features and facilities of the advertised products and
services. The reasons, of course,—if, indeed, there be need for the
mention of reasons,— is not the too often attributed fickleness of
the buying public, but rather that other things in numberless quant-
ities lay claim to the buying power of the public and that it takes
more than single and casual mention of articles to make impressions;
and that each day brings to the market new members of the buying
public. Fundamental and basic as such a statement is, it Is well
for all of us who are concerned with distributing things which have
been made, to the places and peoples where they are used, to repeat
it frequently to ourselves. For there has been too much advertising
waste resulting from the very lack of—repetition-. Toq many
beginning's of advertising progra•sse,•based on well -laid plans, which
have for varied reasons not gone bel*ond the beginning stage. And
thereby they have made a squandering of the cost of that beginning.,
But what is more serious, they have failed of fruition for lack of
continuity, which is, broadly, another way of saying REPETITION.
