CORN SELLS CHEAP.
Heavy Field Of Corn Sacrificed Thru
Scarcity Of Huskers.

Special to imes-Republican.
Hampton, Oct. 14.-Corn standing in
the field, ripe and ready to pick, and
averaging about forty bushels to the
acre sold yesterday at a public sale, at
from $2.95 to $3.50 per acre. Among
the items for sale at the sheriff's sale
of the goods of Frank Miller of Latimer
was sixty acres of corn standing in the
field. When bids were called for 1T
was found that farmers were not anx-
ious to buy corn. The stand was good
and the quality was excellent but it was
almost impossible to secure a bid for
this article. The only reason that can
possibly be assigned for this is that the
farmers have so much corn that they
cannot see their way clear to get it
husked. From spectators stand
point the corn would have made money
at S12 or SIS per acre.
