Elsmore Enterprise: Too many
farmers are almost panic stricken.
AS an instance, one of our best farm
ers had fat COW aud heiier for sale
and offered them for two cents per
pound, trying to get different stock
shippers to buy them, but they also
seemed to be afraid to make him an .
offer on the animals. Finally
couple of men from Elsmore happened |
out his way and bought the animals
at two cents per pound. No sooner
were they brought to Elsmore than
one of the local shippers concluded
the COW was good thing and bought
her at three cents, shipped her to Kan
sas City and got $3.50 per cwt. for
her. The heifer was sold to the local
butcher at $3.50 per cwt. The moral
is, don't loose your nerve. Good
stock is not "drug on the market"
and is not going to be.
