IMMENSE FOOD
VALUEIN CORN
Is More Easily Harvested
And Made Silage Than
Other Crops.

Almost any green crop can be
made into silage successfully.
Much care, however, must be taken
to expel the air from such hollow
stemmed plants as the small cereal
grains by cutting fine and packing
firmly.
In most parts of the United
States more food material can be
obtained from an acre of corn as
silage than from an acre of any
other crop that can be grown.
Corn is more easily harvested and
put into the silo than crops like
rye. clover, cOwpeas, or alfalfa,
and when cut for silage the maxi
mum quantity of nutrients is pre-
served.
When corn is cut for silage the
land is cleared and left ready for
another crop sooner than when the
corn is shocked or is husked from
the standing stalk.

An opportunity to buy new clean
seasonable merchandise at great
deal less than the actual cost to
manufacture does not occur very Of
ten and it is only through the mis-
fortune of The Arthur Baker De-
partment Store at Grand River that
you have the good fortune to buy
goods that you will have immediate
use for at almost your own price.
Face to face with the worst de-
moralized business condition we have
ever had, cost, loss or value not con-
sidered.
The critical moment has arrived.
That is the situation here now. Con-
ditions have combined to make this
sale imperative. The particular trade
conditions, caused by disastrous
weather, very backward season, and

of good clean merchandise on sale to.
be sold at Strengthening Prices for 10
days only. The loss we will sustain
in this sale will be fully compensated
for in the accomplishment of our
purpose, turning the stock into cash
quickly to pay our bills.
Our word will be our bond and
there is not one item in the house
or half dozen put up for bait, as
you will find plenty trying to do,
but over ten thousand items all at a
price that never met mortal mans
eye before. From one end Of Bakers
big department store to the ether you
will find the greatest fluttering of
yellow tickets, with the prices OF
destruction on them.
We know it is an immense under
taking, and while other merchants
may tell you that the Wholesale
Merchants Syndicate who have
charge of the creditors sale are
practically giving good merchandise
away, that we cannot help.
A tremendous slaughter of modern
merchandise such as this section OF
the country has never before witness
