Dear Sir: I notice that Senator Tillman, in a communication in this morning's issue of The Chronicle, says that I received $500 in connec tion with the formation of McCor mick county.

Did you ever think how much every ton of seed sold to your home oil mill helped your town and coun ty? Did yon know that it costs from $6 to ?8 dollars per ton to manu facture seed and dispose of the product of which ?4 to S5 dollars was paid for employment to home people? Did you know that 90% of this money paid for employment was spent in your home town and made employment for others? Did you ever think of the amount of capitol your home mill has in vested in your county and how much taxes and license they pay? Besides this had you ever thought that your home mill could afford to make you a better price on meal and hulls if they could buy their seed at home and save freight charges, this is always why you can get a better price in exchange for seed than for cash? Think all of this over and when you have seed for sale if your home mill is paying as much as the other buyer, where ought you sell your seed? Is not all the above reasonable and common sense? Then why not sell your seed to your home mill if you have one in your town? CHANGING SEASONS BRINGS COLDS.
