Well, Old Man Winter Is showing the
ugly side of his face. True, It has not
been too bad this fall but the hard winds

Seme farmers report that their silage
Is not keeping too well this year. It a
ppears that the harvest season was so dry
that a let of the silage dried cut too
much before It could be bl ,wn Into the
silo. On ordinary years we have too much

uations in egg prices were so great this
week, that no one seems to be able to find
out what It Is all about. Many thought
that the removal of price supports on Jan.
