That there is big money to be made
from the production of corn in the
Richland district has again been dem
onstrated by A. P. Gray, who last
week contracted his entire 1918 crop
to parties from Pasco at the price of
$4,000 per ton on the cob. Mr.. Gray
figures that he will have in the neigh
borhood of ten tons, which is mighty
good return on his investment. This
corn was grown on the Young ten-acre
tract in town and was possibly the
finest corn raised in the district this
year. Mr.. Gray is engaged in husk-
ing the corn, with the assistance OF
some small boys, and expects to turn
it over to the buyer just as quickly as
possible. The parties in Pasco have
large herd of hogs to which the crop
will be fed.
:
Richards quota of the United War
Work campaign fund is set at S945,
or about $500 for each family in the
district. The War Council district
committeeman will start the canvass
of the district next week and expect
to have little trouble in raising the
amount within the specified time limit.
Everyone should remember that this
campaign is for lump sum to cover
all the work done by the Y. M. G. A.,
Y. w, C. A., Knights of Columbus,
Jewish Welfare Board, War Camp
Community Service, American Libra
ny Association and the Salvation Ar
my. So if you give your share this
time there will be no further sollcl-
tation for these good works during
the coming year. This combining OF
the different funds is great saver
of time and labor. Be ready with your
money when the solicitor appears. 1t
is mighty little to do for the boys VINO
are Offering up their lives for us on
the bloody battle fields of France.
