CORN CANNING
AT DILWORTn
FARMERS TRIBUTARY TO VII
LACE THIS AFTERNOON CON-
sIpERED PROPOSITION TO Es-
TA5LIsH A FAcToRY-cHIcAeo
COMPANY TO BUY PRODUCT.

Farmers tributary to Dilworth were
in conference in that village this aft
ernoon for the purpose of considering
a proposition made by parties from
Chicago to establish canning factory
in the town of Dilworth. The matter
has been stimulated by reports Of the
success of a like enterprise which
was established some time ago at Big
stone, a small community several miles
from OTtonvihe, Mimi. The annual
report of the factory at Bigstone, pub
lished few weeks ago, made such an
excellent showing that some farmers
in this end Of Clay county took the
matter up, and the conference today is
the result.
1t is said that a corn canning fac
tory can be conducted along the lines
that successful cooperative creameries
are conducted. The farmers buy stock
in the corporation, the factory Is built
and equipped for the canning of sweet
corn. The latter, raised by the farmers,
is bought from them at so much per
ton-what is known as snapped off
ears-at from 81 to $40 per ton. The
husks are removed from the corn ears
at the factory and there is system
by which the farmer can have the
husks returned to him if he so wishes.
If a factory is established 1t will be In
corporated under the laws Of the state
and in conformity with the pure food
laws,

gratulate themselves upon securing

other duties in the state this year, 1t
was felt, would keep Senator Talcott

CHICAGO Gossip.

Feb. 6.-Bearish sentiment
dominated the corn trade last night
and the general disposition was to
look for lower prices. Traders who
have been bullish went out OF their
holdings yesterday and said that the
market acted largely over-bought and
that many people had held corn who
would not stand much punishment
They say that the movement is too
large and that hedging sales are TO
increase from now on so that the
bull edge is off the market and a
further decline is probable, unless big
buying develops. So much cash corn
has been sold Of late that the move
ment will be large for several weeks,
as country elevators are filled and it
is a question of cars. Inter Ocean.
