Dear Broiler Grower: { There Km been » k* at confusion' i£L£! £ lEtLSL In wartime, there's bound to be confusion of this kind. Let's «* let it hide the real fsct-that broiler pwrera today face the greatest oppor-j tunity for expansion, for service and for profit in the history of the in-1 dustry! ( It's both patriotic and smart buai. • rness to take advantage of tlis situa-' tionl "" " Prices are pcd . . . Dssnsnd for broilers is tremendous sod in IMS may exceed anything we hare ever seen! Because of the meat shortage, folks will hate to "sham the meat" next year, and under rationing will get about IS pounds less per person than before. To help offset this shortage, Secretary of Agriculture Wickard has called upon poultry men - to produce 200,000,000 EXTRA S pound broilers and fryers in IMS— an increase of 19 per cent! . . . And that may he only the beginning. If people an going to set as much meat as they're atfeuatouad to, America may need 2 billion extra pounds of poultry meat next year! What are yen going to do about it? . . . Well, first of all, you want to produce all the broilers or fryers you can with your pi i ant housing and equipment . . . Second, if jo* have the nstasssry labor, materials and equipment, you auyr want to «X; pand your business. Lots of good, experienced broiler growers are doing It To get capacity production, you'll want to stick closer to a dependable ■ production program thafi-ever before. If you're already following' the Purina Broiler Plan, you Ipww what it can do ... If you aren't, I mat to recommend it aa the best broiler production program we know how to 'offer you. The Purina Broiler Program calls for good chicks, good feed, good managment and sanitation—aH essential to suceeesfUl broiler operations. Purina Broiler Chow, fed as recommended, should give you the four things you want most—high livability, fast growth, low cost gains, top market quality. PURINA BROILER CHOW IS BUILT TO DO A REAL WARTIME JOB. Many successful broiler growers following this plan get 96% livability or better . . . produce 8 pound birds in 10 to 12 weeks on about 16 pounds of Broiler Chow. DAVIS SUPPLY CO. STATE COLLEGE ANSWERS TIMELY FARM QUESTIONS QUESTON: When will the point rationing program begin? ANSWER: Because of the complexity of the task involved, it is now impossible to state the exact time. However, the prognun will begin as early in February as possible. It Will be necessary for every member of the family to secure War Ration Book No. 2. Following the registration date for the new ration book, there will be a freeze period (perhaps about 10 days) daring which no point ratkbsd goods can fee bought. During this period, merchants will make preparation for the new system by stocking up on supplies and posting the point values of each point rationed commodity.

Many of the' American contingents sailing to the fighting fronts travel in British ship*,' and British plane* and warships protect oar convoys. Supplies and service furnished to American overseas forces include various ship-' ping sad supply farfiities, food, uni~ • forma, and other quartermaster supplies that ean be provided on the spot and so save shipping space. Materials and labor to build air-' dromes for U. S. air forces in Britain and the building of troop canton-j meats, bases, headpuarters and sfor*' age facilities have absorbed a good , part of the British construction' industry. Both Australia and New Zealand are straining their domestic economy to the utmost to supply our forces with food, housing transportation, wool and cotton uniforms, and other equipment and supplies. Similarlyr the fighting French have eo»tributed to our military need* in re-! gions they oofctf^. £& '• . It if evident, that Lend-Lease has become a major weapon for fightttg the war and carrying it to a successful conclusion.
