To encourage our customers to
plant more corn we propose to give

showing the best twenty ears OF
corn on or before November Is,

Bussies. We do not believe that
our farmers will ever prosper as
they should until they raise more
corn. More corn means more hogs
and smaller store accounts. Millions
Of dollars 60 to the Western farmers
every year from the South to pay

quently the Western farmers are

accounts than ever before. The
