Is This BUSINESS = To illustrate how Kansas pro-
ducers at tbs mercy of those who run things" ut
the large markets, we state the following circum-
stance: In January, four car loads of corn were
shipped from Troy to St. Louis 1t was all old corn,
raised during the of 1876; it was all taken
from the same crib in January, sheled at the same
time, hauled to the by the teams and ship
ped together in the four cars. This is substantated
by the affidavit of the man who raised, shelled, and
delivered it the When it arrived in ST. Louis,
the Inspector there inspected two of the loads
old corn, and two new corn, and the merchant
who shipped it received for the two loads si94i
less than If it had been inspected properly old
corn. The merchant at wrote Mr.. Livingston.
the Grain Inspector at st. Louis informing him Of
the error, and enclosing the affidavit of the farmer,
and asking for correction; hut the Inspector re-
fused to make any correction, and the shipper was
compelled to pocket his loss of 1914.
