SFE THE DIFFERENCE GROWiNG
PULLETS RIGHT MAKES .. .
The above diagram shows the results of Purinta Research
Pullet Growing tests. They prove limo and again that
well-fed pullets are larger and better-developed — start
laying earlier, lay more eggs and make more money in
the fall high-egg-price months —than pullets that are
poorly fed. • * •
This year put your pullets on the straight road to early
fall eggs, big fall eggs, lots of fall eggs. After Purina
Chick Startena change to Purina Growena, complete
ration or Purina Growing Chow, to balance grain!
