The poultry farmer is having
his inning. With eggs at top
notch prices and the price of grain
dropping, many people are plan
ming to go into the poultry bust
ness. or at least to raise eggs for
their own table.
Laying pullcts are commanding
high prices and there is really a
scarcity of them due to the war
times, when people either sold their
hens because of the high prices
paid by market men or on ac-
count of the Sky-high prices of
grain at that time.
Corn is cheap today, and while
the value of this grain as a food
for hens has been a subject for de-
bate many years between the scien-
tifc ration advocates on the one
hand and the practical poultry
raiser on the other, corn has lived
through it all and today is one
of the most valued grains for feed

Corn has been condemned AZ an

to produce eggs"
