Every poultryman knows the necessity of complete rec- ords on each phase of his laying hen operation. And it’s these records that can prove there’s extra profits when flocks are fed the SHUR-GAIN way. Production â€" SHUR-GAIN Super Laying Mash is a high efficiency mash providing the exact proportions of essen- tial ingredients to promote ,steady, high egg production over a long period. The result â€" more eggs per bird. Feed Consumption â€" A decline in feed consumption is of- ten the first indication of disease or other setbacks that can affect production â€" that’s why it’s so important to keep feed consumption records. And equally important, these records allow you to determine feed conversion or the amount of feed reqcired to produce a dozen eggs .â€" the real test of value in a laying nation. Give Super Laying Mash a. trial with your flock and keep records using our handy egg production charts.

Mrs. Oliver was taken ill while attending the annual pres- entation of long service pins at DeHavilland Aircraft where Mr. Oliver is employed. Havilland Happenings PHONE 167 Used Building Materials, lumber, Doors, Windows, Sash and Plumbing Sometimes when we're out for a Sunday drive we think that the whole world has turned out on the road. There are 88 million motor vehicles in the world (and sometimes all of them seem to be right ahead of me on the highway) but the fact is that the whole world would find it a pretty tight fit to jam into those 88 million vehicles. It works out to 29 people tor every auto. truck and bus there is, which is a pretty good sign there's lots of business left for the auto industry. I think. , 1 There are only three places in North and South America where everyone could pack into all the motor vehicles at once, the United States, Canada and the Canal Zone. Even in Alaska it would be a tight fit (although nice and warm) because there are eight Alaskans for evéry vehicle. The number of people tor every motor vehicle is often taken as a measure of the' standard of living, and it’s a pretty good rule of thumb: the lower the ratio. the higher the standard of living. Canada and New Zealand are tied for second place. they have 4.2 people for every vehicle while the United States leads the world with 2.7. There are countries with surprisingly high levels like the Arabian state of Kuwait with 20. Poor old Afghanistan has \2,459 people for every vehicle. Well, whatever your standard of living is now, you can improve it easily on our lot. Big luxury cars a year or so old make a wonderful buy it extras and more extras are your love. And anyone can reach into the sock far enough for a used-car from one of the popular lines. , That’s the beauty of trading-111 often for a used car: you lose little in depreciation and you have a full range of choice for how much luxury and how much practicality you want.
