HENRY FIELD’S SEED SENSE FOR APRIL, 1940—Henry Field Seed & Nursery Co., Shenandoah, Iowa 
11 
FIELD'S LOW BABY CHICK PRICES TO CONTINUE THROUGH APRIL! 
“Field’s Chicks Can’t Be Beat” 
“Dear Mr. Field: Here are a few of 
my Buff Minorcas that I got at your 
hatchery. I sure am pleased with the 
money-makers as I don’t think they can 
be beat. My motto is ‘If they come from 
Fields—you will reap the yields.’ ’’—Mrs. 
J. A. Johnson, Freeburg, Mo. 
That’s right, Mrs. Johnson—Field’s 
chicks are bred-to-lay. They cost no 
more, but they make you more in profit. 
•—H.F. 
Field’s Chicks ‘No. 1 ’ 
“Enclosed is a picture of my mother 
feeding her flock of chickens that she 
bought from you. Field’s chicks are 
‘No. 1.’ ” Sent, in by Miss Mary West of 
Syracuse, Nebr. The Wests have bought 
of me for years. 
Another Field Chick Booster 
Mr. S. T. Boyd of Hooper, Nebr., is a 
believer in Field’s White Leghorns. This 
is a picture of himself, he sent in and he 
wrote on the back, “Dear Mr. Field: I 
am writing you a line to tell you how 
much w r e enjoy your Seed Sense. We 
like your seeds and chicks. They are the 
best we ever used. And say, your Bug 
Dust does the work.” 
Some of Field’s White Rocks 
Mrs. Andy Fergison down at Maysville, 
Mo., is a belieVer in White Rock chickens. 
These are pullets that she got from us. 
She says, “I got all my seeds, shrubs and 
chicks from you this spring and they 
•were all nice. Thanks for the prompt 
service.” 
Hurry in Your Order 
This Month to Get These 
Low Bargain Prices! 
We’ve never seen the demand so heavy 
for Field’s baby chicks as it has been 
this spring. The hatchery has literally 
been swamped with orders. Partly it’s be¬ 
cause of our extremely low prices, but 
mostly it’s because people know FIELDS 
CHICKS ARE BETTER BRED and 
FIELD’S CHICKS PAY BIGGER DIVI¬ 
DENDS. 
Despite the heavy bookings, I think we 
can keep our low chick prices for 30 more 
days. But I can’t promise. If you want 
a bargain in chicks—get your order in 
NOW and be sure of getting present low 
prices.

“Dear Friend: Last spring I invested 
$9.90 in 100 of your S.C.R.I. chicks which 
did splendidly. Started laying July 20th 
and were shipped to me March 5th. I 
also had two hens hatch from them, bring¬ 
ing me 21 chicks out of 30 eggs hatched 
September 21st.”—Mrs. Willis I. Graham, 
Marysville, Kans.

“Dear Friend Field: Last year I re¬ 
ceived my first Buff Orphington chicks 
from you. Had extra good luck for early 
chicks. Raised 88 from the 100, had 23 
hens and 10 roosters for my whole flock. 
When my pullets were 6 months old, I 
got the first eggs. You can look forward 
to an early order from me this year.”— 
Corrine F. Coats, Hallsville, Mo.

“Dear Mr. Field: I have been wanting 
to write you about my Speckled Sussex. 
I got 100 from you, and Mr. Field, I 
never had such wonderful chicks. They 
grew faster than my other chickens which 
were 3 or 4 weeks older.”—Mrs. Fred 
Victora, Earlham, Iowa.

“Dear Mr. Field: Received my chicks 
and they are the best chicks I ever had. 
When I opened the box, they just hopped 
out and started to eat. Thanks a lot.”— 
Mrs. Helena Hiebert, Osnabrock, No. Dak.

“Dear Mr. Field: Last year I ordered 
25 Legorca pullets from you and raised 
23. This was my first try at chicken rais¬ 
ing. These pullets began laying in Octo¬ 
ber, and by December 1 they were laying 
an average of 72% and kept over that 
all winter with March average of 85%. 
Living in the city I have to buy all their 
feed and therefore keep them culled very 
closely. Last fall my country relatives 
laughed at my ‘2 x 4’ hen house and 
handful of hens—but that handful of hens 
have kept my family and one neighbor 
in eggs all winter, besides 2 and 3 dozen 
eggs a week to other neighbors. They 
have paid for their feed, averaging 22c 
per hen per month, and paid me a small 
profit, and we have had all the fresh 
eggs we could eat. I shall always buy 
my pullets from your hatchery. They 
more than pay for themselves.”—Mrs. 
John J. Olson, Fort Dodge, Iowa.
