Ellison and Isaac Adams, of Layton, gave Mr. Welling a check for $4 25 for the contents of the silo and both parties to the deal are well satisfied. The silo cost Mr. Welling $250 and as the deal now stands Mr. Welling has the silo and $175 as the price of four acres of corn and the cost of raising and hapd-iing hapd-iing Kaysville Reflex.
