Show SAVE THE HENS EVERY laying hen sold from the farms before the 1st of May means a loss of about thirty eggs to the food supply of the nation. These eggs are valuable food, manufactured largely from insects, weeds and grass, garbage and waste. The eggs, therefore, are almost al-most wholly a net gain in human food. Moreover, the hen is just as good meat after she has laid these eggs as before. Save the hens, is the message that the United States Department of Agriculture Agri-culture is sending broadcast through press notices and poster and throubh its county agents. o |
