the standard measure of corn in the crib be made
sixty eight pounds to the bushe, instead of sew
enty pounds
Mr. Smith of Tippecanoe-I represent corn
growing district, and 1 believe that it should be
sixty eight pounds. The Ohio Legislature re-
Gently passed law1naking it sixty eight pounds.
Mr.. Pendleton thought that 1T should remain
seventy pounds He was not antagonzing the
farmer, but he thought that they would not lose
by it. The price would be so much more per
bushel
Mr.. Helms-It seems to me that there are a
great many farmers here tonight. /, too am a
farmer--was one twenty six years of my life. l
DO not believe that at seventy pounds to the
bushel the farmers will have any loss. The
farmer gets only pay for the pounds he takes to
market
