U.S. PULLORUM 
CONTROLLED: 
Good profits and big egg production do not hap- 
pen “by accident.” 
Good breeding—high livability are directly re- 
sponsible. That’s why you can be doubly sure 
when you buy Gurney chicks. We are now operat- 
ing under the National Poultry Improvement Plan, 
sponsored by.the U. S. Department of Agriculture. 
This means we have met all the requirements of 
the “U. S. Approved” status under the plan. It 
means our advertising, flock culling, testing and 
hatchery management are under the direct super- 
vision of the National Poultry Improvement Plan. 
In other words, our chicks have to be exactly what 
we say they are. 
In addition, we are participating in the “U. S. 
High egg production is bred right into every 
Gurney chick! Because most of our flock own- 
ers have been with us for years we have been 
able to introduce .and breed into their flocks 
some of the outstanding blood lines of America. 
This means that chicks you buy from Gurney’s 
have high egg production backgrounds. This 
means Gurney chicks are real “money makers”! 
Every egg we set is from flocks under our 
constant supervision. These flocks have been 
earefully blood tested, culled, and individually

You can feed high-producing chicks as cheaply as you 
can feed ‘‘scrubs,’’ but your high-producing chicks will 
make you big profits. The ‘‘scrubs’’ will probably lose 
you money. Why throw feed'away? Be sure! Be thrifty!

This is our big, modern hatchery at Yankton 
where Gurney chicks are hatched for you. It is 
brand new with all up-to-date equipment and 
with new scientific devices which make it, possi- 
ble for us to produce hundreds of thousands of 
chicks each year, at a cost far less than if you 
were to try to hatch your own. Inside, every- 
thing is spick and span with hospital-like. sani- 
tation, guaranteeing fine, healthy chicks. There 
is no finer hatchery in the whole Northwest.

trained hatcherymen supervise all flock housing 
and feeding. They insist upon high standards

Under the U. S. Improvement Plan, all hatch- 
ing eggs are heavy, 23tounce or more per dozen 
eggs. Here in the hatchery, skilled personnel, 
advanced scientific equipment and modern meth- 
ods combine to assure you the best possible 
chicks for your money. Every egg is carefully 
selected as to size, shape, and shell texture be- 
fore it goes into the incubator. Incubators are 
fumigated before each hatch to protect eggs and 
chicks from possible disease contamination, All 
this adds up to a supreme effort to hatch better

SURNEY iICKS ARE “FARM-BRED” 
a 
VIZQB 
VIGOR 
All Gurney chicks come from farm bred flocks which are 
carefully supervised by Gurney hatcherymen. Farm bred 
chicks from eggs produced right’ on the farm are better be- 
cause they give you hardier, healthier chicks. Because farm 
chicks have learned to rustle and to thrive under more ad- 
verse conditions. It naturally follows that.the chicks must 
be better adapted to get along on your farm. Don’t’ waste 
time and feed on chicks of doubtful origin. It’s not worth it.
