The cost per acre in raising and harvesting this crop was about S9O, or a total of $1,170. He sold 3,300 bushels in the fall for 38 cents, or $1,254, and has on hand now 5,000 bushels which at the present price of 75 cents, would bring $3,700, or a net profit from the thirteen acres of about $3,900.

Every member of the Modern Woodmen lodge should be present at tomorrow night’s meeting. Important business is to be transacted and initiatory work will be conferred.
