TO COMPETE in SALE
OF RED. CROSS SEALS

With the opening of the Red Cross
Seal sale on Dec. /, every state and
thousands of cities, towns and villages
arc entering competition to see who
will sell the most seals per capita for
the prevention of tuberculosis in their
communities. over 300,000,000 seals
have been distributed for the sale.
The cities, towns and villages have
been divided into 10 classes according
TO population, ranging from 600 TO
100000 and over. remnants will be
awarded by the American Rcd Cross
and The National Association for the
Study and Prevention oigTuberculosis
in each of the classes.s Similar pen
nants will be awarded to states selling
the most seals per inhabitant. the
states being divided into three classes
according to population.
Last year Hershey. Pa, sold more
seals per capita than any other city
or town in the United States. reaching
a total of 29.04. In Rhode Island, 2.29
seals per capita were purchased by the
people of the state, a record sale among
the states.
In addition to the remnants, spe-
cial honor certificate will be awarded
to any community which sells five or
more seals per inhabitant. It is hoped
that this rivalry among cities and
states will stimulate the sale of
Christmas seals to 100, 100000. This
will mean s1,000.oo0 for the fight
against tuberculosis in the United
States.

SEED AND GRAIN
Parma Milling & Elevator
Company Pays Out Big
Sum to Growers of That
Section.
tstaff correspondence.N

! Parma, Nov. 16.-ApproXimately ST.
100000 in round numbers has already
been paid out to the farmers of the
Parma district for seed and grain, by
the Parma Milling & Elevator COM
pany. This is the largest amount of
money paid out to the farmers of this
4 section in one season for seed and
grain in the history of this district.
/ The farmers of the Parma district
had sold more wheat to the Parma
Milling & Elevator company by Oc-
tober / of this year than WAS sold by
them TO this company during the entire
grain selling season last year Curious
ly enough, last year was the biggest
wheat year in the history of this dis
trict. whereas this year the yield of
wheat here is the smallest in years.
Last year the farmers fed vast
amount of wheat. This year as re-
suit of the high price being paid for
grain. especially wheat, the farmers
here are feeding very little wheat. In
stead. ttey are selling it to the local
elevator.
PRESENT PRICES OF GRAIN.
II is estimated that about 80 per cent
of the wheat and barley grown in this
to the Parma elevator, and about so
per cent Of the oats.
Present prices being paid TO the
farmers for grain by the Parma Mill
ing & Elevator company arc.
Wheat, $2.45 per hundred which is
equivalent to S1.i7 per bushcl
Barley s1.60 per hundred which is
equivalent to IS As cents per bushcl.
oats, sl.65 per hundred or &C cents
per bushel.
Some wheat in this district yielded
as high as 90 bushels per acre, The
average yield of wheat here this year
was about 10 bushels per acre.
The average price the farmers of this
section got for their wheat this year
vas about S1.90 per hundred, or about
Slf5 rer bushcl.
u CARS CLOVER SEED.
Tho Parma Milling & Elevator com
pany has already bought of the farm
ers here about II carloads of rcd clover
seed. A carload consists of 200 sacks
cleaned. each sack weighs 175 pounds.
In other words, this company has al
ready bought of the farmers of this
district about 10000 pounds of red
clover seed.
The present price paid to the farm
ers for this seed is Is cents per pound
The farmers here have sold practi
cslly all Of their clover seed, and have
delivered about three fourths of it to
the elevator.
SPLENDID RETURNS.
Some splendid returns to the farm
ers for red clover seed have been re-
ported here. For instance, j. II
Trout of Roswell got $1,000 for II acres
of clover seed. Joe Meadows of Ros-
wcil got Weld of 10 bushels of clover
seed per acre. His total yield was 1876
sacks of $50 pounds each. or 1900
pounds for which he was paid over
$1,000.
