hearty tribute was paid to the
good doctor. lin his absence. unfor.
tmately,) John Duncan suggested

chances on the radio to be given
away by the Golf Club. This was
done.

NEW CONTRACT


The Holly Sugar Corporation is
proposing 3 new contract to the
Grower for the coming season. The
contract Is in scale basis of last
year with the exception that the
minimum has been increased to
$3.50, a substantial increase of 81
cents over last year. Besides this
the company will pay S5 cents in.
stead of IS cents for sliced beets
in the field.
This contract is calculated to les
sen agitation each year which Is
very determental to Farmers hind.
ering them from planting at the
proper time. 1t also gives them
the benefit of any advances that
may occur In the prices of sugar
and protects them against decrease
In price.
The general conditions for the
1924 season are very promising.
This appears to be the most ad.
vantageous contract ever issued by
a company without destroying the
incentive or individual initiative
and good culture. The Holly Sugar
Corporation deserves the support
of this section of the Valley.

vertising", declared L. F. Eppich Of

and president of the National As
ISOLATION OF Real Estate Boards,
The results Of continuous, not
spasmodic. newspaper advertising
are greater than can be obtained
In any other form Of advertising"

Considerable broom corn Is seen
ON the streets of Holly the last
few days, and with fair weather
the crop srould move to market
steadily from this time on.
From clippings shown below the
demand is good and price holding
very steady.
Chicago, Nov. lO-Two things are
certain in this market. If the state
ments made by various members of
the trade In the past few days are
taken seriously: first. the market
is gaining strength apd becoming
firmer and second. 1t is command
ing q better and steadier demand
Broom corn here Is said to be sell
ing a little better. The trend of
sales is not depicted as phenom-
email or SURPRISING any records. but
at the same time there seems to
be enough business to warrant the
trade feeling more confident.
Wichita, Kan, Nov 1s-With an
unusually large movement of broom
corn here the market is remaining
firm, according to Grant Miller,
local dealer. Rain has held up
shipments until the past few days
Prices range from $40 to $3.50 a ton,
Miller said today. Offerings from
Southern Oklahoma bring the high
est price.
Seventy-five per cent OF the
broom corn from Colorado and
Western Kansas was damaged by
too much rain, dealers say. Broom
corn from that section Is bringing
from $40 to $500 ton.
Mattoon, ILL.,, Nov. l4-With the
Lindsay and South Texas broom
corn districts practically cleaned
interest now Is centered in the
brush available in Central Illinois
and the Northwest The damage
to Western stocks has handicapped
the movement in the West while
the high per cent of red tipped
brush in Illinois has until recently
discouraged heavy individual pur
chases here. Manufacturers how
ever needing the better grades OF
broom corn. necessarily feel the
decision of purchases now lies be.
tween Illinois and Western and
sections are showing more activity.
The price range for broom corn
differs little from that of two
weeks ago which was between 5000
and $3.50 for the better half of the
crop. The bulk of the sales however
indicate slightly higher averages,
or prices between $24O and $3.50 as
against $3.50 and $24O Oct. q. This
may be due to a slight advance In
prices OF more free selling of the
best corn. In either event there is
decided strength to the best hro0m
corn. The fact too that more gem
erous individual purchases have
been made adds considerable
strength to the situation.
With one or two exceptions the
broom corn Is moving direct to
manufacturers on orders. While
storage has increased some forty
cars over reports two weeks ago,
dealers report this belongs to
manufacturers who feel they cen
store here cheaper than at home.
Weather conditions the past
week have been favorable. country
roads are in fair conditions and the
general marketing situation favor
a steady, active movement at pre-
vailing to slightly higher average
prices.
