experiencing a condition in the way OF
a scarcity of corn such Us has never

crop conditions last season caused such
n shortage OF corn that large amounts
are being shipped in, cmostly o

The price being paid is from So to 81
cents. Conservative estimates of the
number of cars so far received here
place the total at fully 100. Shipments
commenced about November /, and
will likely continue until we'll into the

The average car holds about 1000
els of corn at even so cents per bushel
would represent 5000 that has been
paid out by Franklin county farmers
for corn. OF Course there is little profit
in feeding 60-cent corn to stock at
present prices, but the animals must
be fattened il they are to be marketed,
hence the feed must be purchased.
