TAKEN as a class, we believe the farm
ers of America have felt the high cost
of living less than any . other class of
people. While it is true that implements,
fertilizers, labor, etc., have advanced
materially (and are sure to advance even
more) the farmer has not felt the big
advances in food products like city
people have.
The farmer that is farming right has
his. own corn, wheat, oats, vegetables,
butter, milk, eggs, poultry, and' meat,
while it is for these things city people
are clamoring and paying enormous
prices.
City people, moreover, in addition to
paying enormous prices for things to'
eat, must pay for fuel.
Make 1918 a Banner. Poultry Year .
Farmers, we believe, are so used to having all . the . eggs, chickens,
ducks, turkeys, geese and guineas they want ( or- theif' own needs
that they, have not realized what a woderful market has arisen in
the past few months for such food.; When one dives down into
statistics about "poultry" as a sources of money and food, however,
the figures are staggering. V - ..
The enormous demand for pork for'our boys" and allies in Europe
has sent hogs to $18 per hundredweight and the prospect is they
will go higher. These prices (with the failure of corn in the Middle
West) are resulting in the farmers rushing even their brood sows
to the packers and our visible crop of hogs is now 10 per cent below
the normal. s
Make Money on Poultry and Eggs

Indications All Over the
South Point to a Big
Poultry Season
This is the season of the year
when the breeders of pure-'
bred poultry are making
their "matines" and getting
"'ready for the egg trade. .It
is, too, the season when
farmers of the South begin
to realize that "mongrels"
don't pay for their keep and they are resolving tobuy pure-breds
for the coming year. A greater interest is going to be shown in the
poultry industry this year than ever before and good stock will be
in demand.
There will be a perfect stream of gold flowing into the pockets of the
breeders of pure-bred poultry. Decide now to get your share.

and don't wait until the season is over and the demand supplied by
your more progressive competitors. When our readers see your ad
in The Progressive Farmer they will not hesitate to, buy from you,
for they know we guarantee our advertisers and have faith in us
