LURAY, Va, Nov. 16.-Toe farmers
OF Page have seeded the largest crop Of

its history. To do this required the
heaviest purchase of fsrtil zars ever
made here, snd the outlay for this was
some $4S 600, which ior 50 small II
county is q large expenditure.
Mr.. Gid StIickler, Page man ,recepiy

There is fair outlook that our sister
