Much inconvenience was experi-

ence came hundreds of regrets that

been saved and cared for properly.

OF we'll ripened corn is at present not
exactly f1attering. Should this soft
corn be left standing or in shock until
1t is frozen. next planting time will
hear another hue and cry for home

duced and consequently another con-
signment of the southern grown
product. which can scarcely be ex-
pected to ripen under our most ia
vorable conditions, will be forthcom-
