one having the energy and enterprise
10 procure and operate a corn shelter.
by means of which the surplus could
be the better and more attractively
put up for market. So long as the
corn is left In the ear it will have very
little demand in the market away from

ing bought in the ear, shelled. sacked

the biggest on record, there are those
who incline TO the belief that II will
