New Crop and a Good Price.

The chicory industry has recently been started here by the organization of the "Ann Arbor Chicory Company" and is made up of several of our reliable business men to phrmote the cultivation of this product among the farmers and pay a stated price for the roots when grown. A gentleman brought up in the business has, within the past few days, looked over the land in this vicinity and pronounces the soil and conditions second to none in the state for the successful cultivation of his crop. The company is now prepared to sign contracts with the farmers at a fixed price for the roots when grown, and those having good clay loam and muck soil suitable for the growth of root crops should investigate this opportunity at once as there will be only a limited acreage contracted for the first year. It is said to be as profitable a crop for farmers as sugar beets and much preferable to cultivate in some respects. There will be a meeting of the farmers called very soon to confer with the company, due notice of which will be given, and in the meantime any desired information can be obtained at the office of Heinzmann & Laubengayer.
