Fight Meat Shortage with 
Chickens 
SE STRATE 
No one will deny the serious meat 
shortage that exists today. And it’s going 
to be worse. This goes for chicken meat 
as well as beef and pork. Have always 
preached the need for growing your own 
Meat at home, and this year a lot more 
of my customers are going to take me at 
my word, or suffer the consequences. 
- No family, even the town folks, should 
be without a flock of chickens, even if it’s 
only my Back Yard Special of 100 meat 
chickens. And it’s easy to raise chickens, 
Nothing to it, and no great expense. 
‘Meat and Eggs Offer 
Here’s a combination offer to those who 
want both meat and eggs. I'll send 100 
assorted light pullets and 100 broiler 
chickens, 200 chicks in all, for only 
$18.75. All 200 will be from my Select 
grades, and they’ll be worth every cent of 
the money you pay for them. 
Good Luck with Chicks 
“Dear Mr. Field: I sure had Z00d luck 
with my Bargain Chickens. I got 600 and 
raised 569. They began to lay when they 
were 5 mos. old. I am setting a lot of eggs 
now. We moved this fall—moved them 75 
miles and they still Keep on laying. Um 
Keeping 250 pullets out of 400. Of course, 
Pm expecting to 
send for more again this spring.” — irs.

Back Yard Special! 
I made the most startling chicken 
offer of the century last year right 
here in Seed Sense when I offered 
100 chickens for $2.50. I got so many 
orders that it kept the hatchery run- 
ning 24 hours a day to keep up with 
them. 
This year ’m going to make the 
same offer, and for the same reason 
——to help you good customers of 
mine keep pace with the meat short- 
age and grow your own at home. 
Only there has to be one difference 
this year—and that is, I can only 
take orders until April 15. This 
means only early orders get a chance. 
Here’s my offer. 100 baby chicks 
for $2.50. These chicks come from 
all four of my egg grades, but carry 
no guarantee on breed, sex, or color. 
‘Good quality, though. You can order 
as many as you please, but we must 
reserve the right to ship when it is 
possible to do so. We'll notify you 
when to expect them. Orders ‘for 
less than 100 not accepted. 



















“Nicest I Ever Had” 
“Dear Sir: 
lets, 
ever had. 
The neighbors sure admire them. You may 
get more orders from around here.”’—Mrs. 
Frank E. O’Leary, St. Francis, Kansas, 
Received the chicks, 600 pul- 
400 straight run. They are the nicest I 
They are so large and lively.

is 
When should I buy my 
seed? 
Right now. The sooner the quicker, 
There will not be near enough seed to 
£0 around, and it will be a ease of “the 
devil take the hindmost.”’ Buy the seed 
first. You can do that before you can 
work the ground. Don’t wait until you 
are ready to plant. You probably can’t 
get it all then. 
When do I plant it? 
Some things you plant very early, the 
earlier the better. This includes: rad- 
ishes, lettuce, onions, peas, beets, car- 
rots, potatoes and cabbage. (Plants, sets 
or seeds.) Get them in early. Then when 
the ground gets warm, say when the 
farmers start to plant corn, plant the 
beans, sweetcorn, tomatoes, cucumbers, 
okra, late cabbage, and southern field 
peas. Lots of things can be planted fol- 
lowing the early stuff—what we call 
double cropping—use the ground two or 
three times in one season. Plant late 
turnips about Aug. ist, following early 
potatoes. Plant Chinese Cabbage then, 
too. 
Liked Backyard Special 
“Gentlemen: Am sending my garden seed 
order. Also want to tell you about my 
chickens. I got 400 at $2.50 a hundred. Wish 
you could see them now. They’ve done won- 
derful, and are growing fast.”’,—Hubert M. 
MeQuinn, Clyde, Missouri.
