HOLD CORN TWELVE YEARS.
Iowa Farmers Store Cereal for Long Time
to Await for Better Price.

Twelve years ago a great crop of corn
was raised in Iowa. The cereal sold as
low as II to Is cents per bushel and
many a farmer, and Spectator, and
grain buyer built cribs and stored away
thousands of bushels Of the cheap corn.

TO be raised at such small price per BUSH
el. Neesen Brothers of Wellsburg, in
Grundy county, Ia, were among the
well to do farmers who stored away
great quantities of this corn, and now
as nearly all of the crop of that year has
been disposed Of, these enterprising Ger
mans have just sold 10000 bushels Of
corn twelve years old at 45 cents per
Oushei
When the corn is all hauled. the farm
ersf profit on this investment will be
nearly $4,000. They own several hun
dred acres of choice Grundy county land,
and value their real estate at $1OO per
acre. They believed that corn raised
from such land, and other like it, need
not be sold for Il cents per busheI, and
their speculation of twelve years ago
proved that they are right. Most Of the
corn cribbed in great quantities in that
section in 1893 was sold three and four
years afterwards at 80 and 35 cents
bushel.
The Neesen corn was cared for, did
not rot, or mold, or must, and is now in
