CANNED FOOD
CONSUMPTION.
UP IN STATE
Delaware residents are eating
four times more canned food than
they did 41 years ago.
Dr. H. E. Michl, economist for
American Can Company, supplier
of metal contalners.^points out that
in the last 41 years the per capita
consumption of canned foods In the
state increased from 22 pounds to
90 pounds a year.
Some of the reasons listed by the
can company economist as contri
buting to the marked Increase in
consumption of canned foods are:
convenience of canned foods, per
mitting the housewife more leisure:
long range decreases in the cost of
canned foods; increase in variety
of canned fruits, vegetables and
juices, and improved quality of
canned food products due to mod
ern canning methods and the manu
facture of tailor-made cans provid
ing a wide selection of sizes and
uses.

Uniformity Of Dotage;
The VIPOL Automatic SYRINGE, a precision-built instrument,
has been designed to discharge exactly a measured dose 0.2cc
of the vaccine. No more—no less!
Uniform Reaction Of Birds To Vaccine;
Whatever little reaction takes place, occurs at the same
time in all birds. There are no delayed reactions. The symp
toms developed as a result of the vaccination subside rapidly
and at the same time in the entire vaccinated flock.
Easy And Simple To Apply;
Greater number of birds accurately vaccinated per haul*
reduces labor costs.

One Shot—One Single Injection Does The Job
You can now banish all fear of New Castle Disease by
vaccinating your broilers and roasters ONLY ONCE with
VIPOL 717 as early as 14 Days of Age. Reaction is mild
and mortality incident to vaccination is negligible. Your
meat birds are assured protection until marketing.
Advantages of intramuscular Application;
Besides providing protection to birds 14 Days of Age and
Older Against New Castle Disease, VIPOL 717 eliminates the
possibility of infecting birds with Air Sac Infection (CRD).
