Physical Description
Text Excerpt: RAISE MORE POULTRY - Our meat supply is short and more poultry will help solve the problem. More poultry means more eggs and poultry meat means a greater food supply.

More Eggs and Poultry Will Save Beef and Pork - For published information and individual advice on poultry raising write to your County Agent, State Agricultural College, or to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Bureau of Animal Industry, Washington, D.C.
