d. II. Morse is quoted in the North
field News as follows Speaking Of the
matter of raising sweet corn, Mr.. Morse
said that he was confident that Demerritt |
& Palmer, proprietors of the Randolph
factory, viii increase their price to raisers
considerably this year. He has arranged
to meet them and talk up the matter and
he expects that the Randolph and Water
bury farmers will obtain S12 to S14 per
ton this season. In fact, Mr.. Morse
thought the increase was practically set
tied and that farmers were gong to de-
mand uniform price in this section of
the state. All that is necessary is for the
farmers to fix upon a reasonable rate and
raise no corn unless that price is forth
coming"
