near, but was determined to make
the last long trip south. He had
said often: II was born in the south
have lived all my life in the south
and expect to die and be buried in

sr from Sac county stated that many

er from Sac county stated that many
farmers from his territory were sort
ing as the corn went up the elevator.
One man regulated the rate of feed
and took. out some of the undesir-
able ears and two more men station
ed along the elevator drag finished
the sorting. One farmer in Greene
county is sorting the corn after it
is put into the crib. He works it all
over and does Thorough job. He
states that he is sorting out 25 per
cent.
Mr.. Powell stated that corn, such
as we have this year, could be hand
led to advantage only when frozen.
The elevators of this section of the
state have very little crib capacity
and must handle shelled corn almost
entirely. This will probably mean
that new corn will not be marketed
early from this section.
The following methods were re-
commended by the grain dealers as
sembled for handling the 1915 corn
crop:
1. Late cribbing.
2. Cribbing most mature corn
first.
8. Using ventilators freely in the
cribs
a. Sorting out all soft and chaffy
ears.
5. Marketing when corn is frozen
The Government takes the posi-
ton that the crop should be cured
out to marketable conditions on the
farm and they will persist in that
attitude and formulate their grades
accordingly.

nation obtained while working for an

the effect that an cmploye, where there
was no written agreement limiting his
activities was justified in using the
knowledge gained in his work for his
own benefit, even though the business of
former employer was unfavorably af-
fccted by it.
One OF the suits was that OF the Pio-
neer Barber Towel Company against
Eruney, who was driver, and who en-
gagged himself to drive wagon of a
rival concern, and did what he could to
transfer the business of the customers
with whom he was personally acquainted
to his last employer. An Injunction, re-
Straining Bruney, was applied for, and
Justice Cohalan denied it,

the past three years and the results of
the membership campaign that we have
