cars from the transportation of
corn and use them for carrying
war supplies. AS a result of
these rumors, buyers have in
duced farmers to sell their corn
at the present prices, and for
fear that the future price might
be less or they could not market
it at all many farmers have rush
ed their product upon the mar
ket and thus glutted it with the
result that they have not secured
the prices they could otherwise
have obtained Mr.. Lassetter says:
