been estimated by some to carry from
15 to 25 per cent. The first shaft had
an ore face Of nearly thirty feet. At
the mine shaft nearly fifty feet of ore
face has been uncovered. The Miami
Metal Company will start the erection
of a new modern mill within the next
few days, which win be under the man
agement of w. j. Briggle, of Joplin,
Mo. Mr.. Briggle is an experienced

Township Red Cross Drive

On May Goth, 1917, there will be a
drive made for the Red Cross War
Fund, and do not wait until the COM
mittee have to call on you and spend q
couple of hours talking to get you to
subscribe and pay your share of the
Red Cross War Fund, as the Commit
tee are just as busy as you are and
have their work to do, and you should
not impose on them by making them
drive to your place when you should
hand n your subscription to your
COMMITTEES now or attend the public
meeting held in your township at the
time of the drive and sign up at that
time so as to save the committee call
ing on you.
There is no man on a farm, even if
he is a renter, that cannot pay $500,
and most farmers who own their own
farms can afford to donate from $40 to
500 for as good a cause "over there"
as the Wal Fund of the Red Cross and
you would consider that cheap for your
boy "over there" and why is it not as
we'll for your neighbours boy who is
"over there" as all of the American
boys are our neighbours boys even
though they come from Maine or
California.
Owing to an extra amount OF work
in the Expositor office We are compell-
ed to leave out the list of those who SUBJ
scribed to the fund during the 1917
drive, but same will be published next
week.

Work of County AgricuIturist

For Michigan and adjoining states,
seed corr has been purchased in Della.
ware under the direction OF the Michi-
gan Agricultural College and County
Agents, and is being stored at Toledo.
Ohio. This seed is the selected run Of
crib corn and has a termination in
composite test of no less than 80 per
cent. The moisture content is about
ID per cent. 1t natures on light, sandy
soil in Delaware in about 80 days. The
ears are six to eight inches long and
vary from an almost pure flint to med
ium size dent. Either white or yellow
types can be had, but observations
made while supervising the loading at
points in Delaware lead me to believe
that.the yellow will average somewhat
earlier than the white.
Orders amounting to over 300 BUSH
els have been received and forwarded.
Arrangements have been made locally
so that the corn already ordered can be
paid for when it arrives. All further
demands, however, will need be accom-
panied with the cash in order to enable
the County Agent to handle them. The
seed is being handled by the U. s. De-
partment of Agriculture, and under the
law can be sold only for cash. 1t will
be shelled and cleaned at Toledo, and
the price at that point will be S5.75
per bushel. In addition to this, there
will be transportation charges to point
of destination and handling expenses,
such as drayage, labor, etc., when it
arrives. Most of it will probably be
shipped by boat to Port Huron, and
distributed to local places from that
point.
The Reid Brokerage Company have
kindly offered the facilities of their
plant, and will assist in dividing up the
large Shipment in quantities suited to
the individual needs of the different
farmers.
