GRAIN MEN LOSE MONEY.
Condition Of the Corn Is Not at All
Satisfactory.

0aIlSIdCIOIJ.
Des Moines. Jan 15.-Towa grain
dealers. are the losers because the
condition of Iowa corn is such that it
is easily spoiled. A number Of losses
have already been reported to George
A. Wells, secretary of the Iowa Grain
Dealers association, and from his OBJ
servation there is a possibility OF
falling off in the purchase Of Iowa
corn.
"The trouble will only be temper
ary one" said Mr. Wells. Tt has been
caused by the failure of good cold
weather to. arrive after the ears had
ripened. When the ears had matured,
the stalks were still growing because
frost necessary to kill them did not
come and the result was that water
from the stalks forced itself into the
ears and kernels. Now experts agree
that the proper amount of water In
corn is about Is per cent. But in the
corn tested this year the amount has
been as high as 25 per cent. The re-
suit is that when the corn is placed in
bins for shipment, unless the bins are
very we'll made, it will heat and SOON
err or later burn. The loss is, there
fore, to the dealer"
Mr.. Wells gave an example of the
loss to the dealer in a letter received
from a grain dealer who had shipped a
quantity Of corn to the Chicago mar
ket. The car load of corn weighed
about $4,000 posnds when shipped. The

Iowa Falls, Jan 15.--An echo of the
Soule administration in the Home Saw
ings bank of this city, was heard in the
Hardis county district court today
when the case of the bank
VS.. the estate of S. p. Smith
was called This case involves
$4,000 and there is much speculation
as to who will get the money. 1t seems
that when Edwin o. Soule was cashier
of the bank, S. P. Smith, who died a
year or so ago, applied for loan OIL
$4,000 offering a mortgage on farm.
The loan papers We're delayed and the
cashier permitted Mr.. Smith to over
draw his account, as he needed the
money to use The bank examiner, it
is reported, demanded that the over
draft be taken up and Mr.. Smith was
asked to give note until the money
from the loan arrived. This he did.
1t is claimed that when the proceeds
of the loan did arrive, they did not go
TO Mr. Smiths credit, thus leaving him
with two notes out the one for the
draft. The bank now sues to recover
from the estate on the individual note.
The defense will be made that Mr..
Smith never received the proceeds Of
the loan and hence is not liable for the
second note The bank will claim that
the note and the overdraft were bank
matters and that the loan was an in
dividual matter between Mr. Smith and
Mr.. Soule, with which the bank has
naught to do.

and when the corn arrived at the ele-
va.tor it weighed $1,000 pounds, a loss
of 5000 pounds in transit. This loss
was caused by the action of the water
in the corn drying and heating the

price of the corn. In the case cited the
dockage was such that the shipper lost

There is nothing in the situation
however, in the least alarming because
amy farmer who has a good cool crib

THE quality of the corn in Iowa
could not be better. l do not know
of another corn crop in Iowa which
has yielded a better quality of corn
than that of the past year. The crop
has been satisfactory in everything eX-
capt for the failure of late frost TO
kill the corn stalks and thereby prevent
the rise of moisture into the kefhels
of the corn. which has been much OF a
detriment to the dealer in grams.
The loss has been altogether to the
grain dealer who has been compelled
to buy at the market price and then
stand the loss entailed thru shipment
in poor cars and the liability OF stop
