As fall comes on. the poultry keep
er should cul the old stock, dispose
of surplus cockerels, and get rid oi
scrub pulIets. More meat, more
eggs, and more profits will result.

culture: "More Poultry and Better
Poultry" II is realized that the de-
mand Tor poultry products will increase
during the war, and after the war.

as early as possible how many puIlets he
