River Bank.
The foot and mouth disease is caus-
Ing the farmers living in the vicinity
of North Topeka constant worry. The
market for cattle and hogs is very un-
certain. The only outlet for the far
mer is to sell his cattle for immediate
slaughter. No one wants to buy
stock at the present time as an invest
ment.
Some farmers living near North To-
peka are selling milk cows as beef
cattle. One farmer who does not
make a practice of reading the daily
papers was forced to sell his cattle on
account of corn being sold at the pres
ent high price. The farmer called up
q dealer in Topeka and asked him the
price he was paying for good milk
cows. The man told him that he was
not buying milk cows on account OF
tn foot and mouth disease and the
only market open to him was to dis
pose of his COW to the packing house.
If the price of corn does not decline
soon, a number of farmers will be
flee as they are unable to feed stock
at the present high price of feed.
