The regular meeting of the Days
bOrO Parent-Teacher Association
was held on Monday evening, April
4th. There was a large attendance
and the members showed more en-
thusiasm and interest than at any
other meeting held this term. The
membership committee reported
progress and tried to secure 100
paid members. In the absence of
both president and vice-president,
Miss Etha Smith acted as chairman
of the meeting. The meeting was
opened by song, "Juanita", fol-
lowed by the Lords Prayer. After
the business session, a program
was given by the children of the
grades. Some of the young men of
this community, now in high school,
helped to make the evening a sue

2 days. These averaged to weigh
to IA lbs. each. Even at the low
price of 40 cents per lb. Mr.. Belts
cleared above all expenses 10000.
This One From DagSbOrO
Most of us know Mr.. Shep Truitt
and how he can raise chickens. Here
are his figures. Raised 800 to
weeks and days which averaged
l ga to 2 lbs. each. 1t only cost Mr..
Truitt IL 1-2 cents each to feed
them the Purina way. Notice the age
and weight, too.
Mr.. Raymond Bunting, a neighbor
of Mr.. Truths saw how well Purina
was doing, so he thought he would
try it on his 1000 Leghorn chicks.
He did, and raised 910 to 6 weeks of
age that averaged nearly / Ia lbs.
each. Feed cost him only 8 cents a
piece on the Purina Plan.
Down Roxana way Mr.. Dora Ev-
ans feeds them for cent per week.
Started 1000 Leghorns On Purina
Startena and raised 951 to weeks

growth in five weeks for a nickel per
chick for their Startena.
A special from Georgetown-Read
This One. Mr.. Curtis and Mr.. Blank
of the Kephart Farm, near George
town, started 1000 chicks on Start

around 1 1-2 lbs. each and cost just
