OATS GOOD QUALITY
Numerous Complaints Made as to

Hampton, Aug. 13.-The numerous
complaints which have been made by
the farmers of this section Of the state
about the quality of the oat crop for
this year has proven to be a joke. 1t
was almost universally told by the TIL
lers Of the soil that their oats We're
light, OF poor quality, and not even
as good as last year.
The marketing OF the new oat crop
shows up the facts better than any
other way. Frank Scantlebury, Nv
ing two miles west OF Hampton.
found his oats yielded forty-five BUSH
els to the acre. Seventy-two bushels
by machine measure weighed out
eighty seven and half bushels. Henry
Wolf three miles north OF town, got
over forty-five bushels to the acre and
found by weighing them that seventy
two bushels machine measured would
weigh UP eighty-five bushels. These
are fair estimates and 1t is safe to say
that the oat crop In this section OF the
state VIII average forty bushels to the
acre and weigh at least an eighth more
than that. The quality is good as the
oat fields were very clean and free from
weeds this year.

Special to Times Republican.
Nevada, Aug. ia couple of Col
Inns parties have brought an action in
the district court to recover against
the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
Railway Company for damages which
are alleged to have accrued thru the
negligence Of the defendant company
in getting stock into Chicago SO that
they could be put on the market at the
proper time. William Vasey sues for
damages in the sum of $230.50, claiming
that his stock was pulled out OF the
station at Collins at 9 o'clock one
morning and did not reach Chicago un-
til noon the next day, too late for that
days market. The next day the mar
ket was off ten days and the shrinkage
on the stuff made loss of the above
amount which he asks the company to
stand.
Another case brought on the same
grounds was that Of Sam Atwood, Of
the same place, who suffered a similar
experience In the shipment OF three
cars of stuff, one of cattle and two of
hogs. Atwood asks for damages in the
sum of $S5.

yesterday:
The meat strike has had no effect
whatever on the business of the Nor

would pick up in Iowa, because of the
shortage of the supply the Chicago
houses were compelled to face. But we
find instead that people have reduced
their buying to a marked degree"
He lays the reduction to the fact that
the papers have laid stress on the In
crease of meat prices in the larger
cities. In Ottumva prices have re-
MANNED practically the same as before

meat to Chicago, because OF the short
age of Ice there. killing at the locl!

by the season Of che year. when people
