rescue of the professional.
The Department of Agriculture's
poultry experts are now making an
estimate of the amount of poultry in
the country so that they may more
intelligently direct their campaign
for its increase. Although no exact
or dependable results have yet been
obtained. there are indications that
the poultry supply has been greatly
cut down. Fer example, receipts of
poultry and eggs in the New York
market are only two-thirds of normal.
Remember the Old Hen.
Furthermore, there is always a
heavy mortality of chickens about this
time of the year,, owing to certain
religious holidays which prevent large
classes of people from eating other
meats. Chicken usually goes up 5 or
6 cents a pound, and with the addi-
tional fact against the fowl that it
costs a fortune to feed him, his
chances of escaping the AK this year
are Simmer than usual.
That is why it would be a patriotic
and also a forward-looking act for
you to go out and rescue few of
these doomed hens.
Remember, any old hen will lay
pretty we'll for the next three months.
And after that, if she fails to live up
to her duty, she will still make good
