Saturday the Ontario Cash Grain
Company shipped over 1000 pounds
OF baled hay to Brogan TO be used for
feeding stock at that place. This is

fact that more live stock is being
fed In this community this winter
than in recent years and yet the Cash
Grain Company has enough surplus
TO mako the first shipment out of
Ontario.
