June 13th, commencing at 10 o'clock' There's a story back of the big egg and the exhibit. It's a part of a national campaign by the Purina Mills through several thousand dealers in the United States and Canada to encourage the production orf big eggs. It has been found that the market wants big eggs and discriminates against small sized pullet eggs. In order to produce big eggs there must be big body development. A small size pullet cannot produce large eggs. For that reason poultrymen are being urged to feed the poultry flock a good growing ration during the growing months this summer in order to insure large body development by the pullets, insuring the production of large eggs when they come into production this fall. Of 5,000 birds in a recent Canadian National Egg Laying Contest it was found those fed a growing ration laid 51 more eggs that averaged 2.2 ounces more per dozen than those that were not properly fed during the growing season. Very important is the fact that birds (fed properly during the growing period come into production earlier in the fall, usually at a time when egg prices are starting upward, while birds that are not properly fed during the growing period come into production late and often when egg prices are low. Yes, there's a real story back of that big egg! At 1:30 A social time was enjoyed p m a good program ^n. ^ given> consisting of addresses by Rev. Mr. Morris of Toronto, and prominent men of the Association. There will also be reading's and orchestra music.
