legal rate for publishing the announcement. "Can.

In one town in this section of the state, the mer.

that they could sell to the farmers their needs at

Of them have to borrow money from the bank, con-

The year 1912 will see many silos built in this Sec

be grown and naturally the farmers will keep stock
to eat It. The silo enables the farmer TO get two
