Crops  and  Farm  Notes 
We  are  having  a  big  snow  storm  to¬ 
day.  After  a  rainfall  of  nearly  three  feet 
during  the  past  Summer  and  Fall  we 
did  not  expect,  much  snow  this  Winter. 
The  wet  weather  caused  a  good  deal  <»f 
damage  to  grain  and  hay,  especially  caus¬ 
ing  much  of  the  wheat  to  grow  in  the 
field.  Potatoes  were  almost  a  failure,  a 
good  many  acres  were  not  dug  at  all  and 
farmers  are  buying  from  other  places. 
Buckwheat  is  one  of  the  main  crops  in 
this  county ;  this  year  it  is  not  more  than 
25  per  cent,  of  a  crop.  Corn  is  a  good 
crop  and  fields  mostly  cleared  ot  both 
oats  and  stalks.  Prices  are  about  as  fol¬ 
lows:  Wheat  S5c  to  $1;  oats  40c;  bar- 
lev  60c;  buckwheat.  $1.65  to  $1.70  per 
100  pounds;  bay  $10  to  $16  per  ton; 
veal  calves,  live,  8  to  10c  per  pound ; 
dressed  hogs  $8  to  $9  per  cwt.;  live 
lambs  6 14 <■  per  lb.  The  price  of  horses  is 
much  lower;  at  an  auction  last  week

radius:  some  are  selling  at  private  sale 
for  $12  per  ton,  while  at  auction  it  has 
sold  around  $8  per  ton.  Good  oat.  straw,

The  product  of  this  locality  is  onions. 
The  prices  at  present  are  for  fancy 
stock:  Red.  $1.25  per  100  lbs.;  yellow, 
$1.40;  white,  none  to  be  had.  Good  cows 
average  about  $80.  Veal  and  pork  arc

for  poultry  at  the  holiday  season.  Veal 
about  13  cents;  pork,  light,  dressed,  about 
13  cents.  Calves  vary  so  much  that  quo¬ 
tations  are  apt  to  be  misleading;  some 
are  large  and  thin;  others  are  smaller 
and  in  belter  flesh.  Good  calves,  $5  to 
$6;  hay,  $20  delivered:  rye  straw  (in

We  are  so  far  from  city  markets  that 
our  prices  vary  quite  a  hit.  We  have  no 
auctions  except  as  some  farmer  decides 
to  quit  the  farm.  Beef  cattle  at  this  time 
are  rather  dull,  not  many  being  sold,  the 
price  around  6c.  ;  dressed  pork  has  been

were  not  lower  than  $1,  and  a  large  lot

roomier 
Much  more  room  for  the  driver 
has  been  gained  by  removing  the 
gas  tank  from  the  cowl  tc  the  rear 
and  moving  the  cowl-board  up¬ 
ward  and  slightly  ahead  of  its 
former  position. 
More  room  has  also  been  gained 
in  the  tonneau  by  moving  the 
front  seats  forward  a  few  inches 
and  making  them  adjustable  to 
the  passengers’  personal  comfort. 
handsomer 
Changes  have  also  beer-  made  in 
the  design  of  the  car  which  greatly 
enhance  its  graceful  lines.  The 
fenders,  tor  instance,  have  been 
made  heaviei ,  deeper  and  richer, 
following  the  curves  of  the  wheels 
more  closely.  And  with  the  gas 
tank  hung  on  the  rear,  the  whole 
car  has  a  substantiality  oi  appear¬ 
ance  that  is  very  attractive. 
Year  after  year.  Studebaker  has  led  the  way  in  the  motor  industry. 
Year  after  year.  Studebaker  has  startled  the  entire  country  with  new 
high  quality  cars  at  new  prices  that  seem  revolutionary — prices  that 
entirely  recast  the  existing  ideas  of  value  in  motor  cars.  And  now, 
for  the  FIFTH  time.  Studebaker  sets  NEW  standards  of  value  in 
4-cylinder  cars  with  the  SEKj.ES  17  FOUR  at  $845. 
Ana  never  has  there  been  a  finer  example  ot  what  that  name  of  Studebaker 
guarantees  to  the  buyer  of  a  car  than  NOW.  Studebaker  with  its  GREAT  re¬ 
sources,  its  unrivaled  buying  powers,  and  its  enormously  increased  volume  ot 
manufacture,  has  been  able  to  REDUCE  its  price  from  $885  to  $845 — a  SAVING 
of  $40  to  every  man  who  buys  a  Studebaker. 
And  at  the  same  time,  ** — because  it’s  a  Studebaker" — backed  by  this  gigantic 
manufacturing  institution,  the  same  high  quality  of  the  car  has  been  maintained. 
It  has  never  been  Studebaker’s  policy  to  reduce  the  quality  of  any  proouct  tn 
order  to  reduce  the  price.  That  name  of  Studebaker  has  been  a  guarantee  of 
QUALITY  for  too  many  years.  And  so  this  car,  even  a  its  sharply  reduced  price 
offers  MORE,  room,  MORE  conveniences,  HIGHER  quality  and  even  handsomer 
design  than>  ever  before. 
It  is  the  MOST  POWERFUL  4-cylinder  car  that  has  ever  been  offered  at  any¬ 
where  near  this  price  of  $845.  It  is  the  FIRST  4-cylinder  car  to  rival  the  flexi¬ 
bility  of  a  SIX.  And  with  the  many  improvements  that  have  been  made  in  the 
new  model,  it  is  the  BIGGEST  dollar-for-dollar  value  that  the  market  has  ever 
seen.  See  it  at  your  local  dealer’s  before  you  decide  on  any  car.  See  how  much 
a  dollar  will  buy  in  a  car  “ — because  it’s  a  Studebaker”.
