Nevada, Feb. lit have been get
ting over the county some this week
and interviewing the farmers regard
ing the seed corn situation" remarked
Knute Espe. county agent OF the Story
county farm bureau, Saturday. "and
I find it to be even more serious than
I had anticipated"
II find that there are many farmers
in the county who have no seed corn
and ind practically no farmers who
will have corn to sell.
IT have found one nice bunch Of 1916
corn on a farm just east Of Nevada
and 1t appears to be in good condition.
I have also learned Of few other lots
Of old corn, but not enough to supply
the demand.
This lack Of seed corn not only
prevails in Story county, but in every
county Of tho state and not only in
Iowa but in the surrounding states as
well. The trouble is that we not only
lack seed corn but there appears to
be little show OF getting It,"
Mr.. Espe is getting squared away
in the work and will soon be located
in his office In the Commercial club
rooms. He stated that he was glad
to know that tho Office was to be To-
Gated in Nevada and would not have
accepted the position had It been de-
cided to locate the office at the col
lege, as was talked and in fact urged
by some people. ..... -....

Tom pieksrson, Serving in Prison, to
30 Released Under Novel Decision.
Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines. Feb. lit is probable
that the prison doors at Fort Madison
will soon swing open for Tom DECKER
son, sent UP from Boone county Oct.
10, 1913, on conviction Of larceny, and
sentenced to five years and also con-
victed in Dallas county on a similal
charge and sentenced to Ave years from
that county. Dickerson's contention
was that the flve-year sentences from
each Of these counties ran concurrent
~, thus making his full term Of service
five years and not ten years. The
supreme court has upheld this in an
opinion Just handed down.
Dickerson brought habeas corpus
proceedings against the warden at Fort
Madison to obtain his release. He lost
in the Lee county courts but has won
in the supreme court. The case against
Dickerson in Dallas county was brought
after he had been convicted in Boone
county and had started serving his
sentence. However, the supreme court
points out that the Judge in pronounc-
ing sentence in the second case failed
to state that the sentences should not
run concurrenuy. Hence they did 80
run.
On this point the supreme court says:
Judgment In the second case was not
80 rendered that the imprisonment up
on It should commence at the expira-
ton OF the imprisonment upon the first
offcnse."

| Des Moines, Feb. i'll. A. Prichard,
Of Monona county, has lost his suit,
cover IA cents from the Northwestern
railroad company, money paid for =
railroad ticket, which ticket the COM
pany refused to take back. Prichard
won in the Monona county courts but
the railroad company appealed and the
supreme court has reversed the ruling
of the lower court.
1t was not the money but the "prin-
ciple of the thing" which aroused both
litigants to fight the matter thru the
courts.
Prichard bought railroad ticket
from Onawa to Turin, distance OF
seven miles, for which he paid the Gus
tomary n cents. The train was late
and he grew tired of waiting so man
aged to negotiate the distance by some
other mode of travel Five days later
he went around to the ticket agent at
Onawa to turn in his ticket and get
the money back and then the trouble
started.
According to the evidence In the case
the local agent at Onawa proposed TO
take the ticket and send 1t to the gen.
eral passenger agent for redemption,
following out the rules of the company.
Prichard refused to surrender his tick.
ct, claiming IL he did so he would have
nothing at all to show for his IA cents.
SO he brought suit to recover the
money.
The supreme court, after analyzing
the case declared that the point at Is
sue was whether certain rules and reg
ulations provided by the defendant
railway for the redemption of unused
tickets were reasonable compliance
with the requirements of the statute
on this subject. The high court de-
cided that the railroad company did
not ask anything out Of the way In re-
quiring the man to surrender his tick
ct and comply with its rules before al
lowing him payment on same.

Sioux City, Feb. 11.-tIow tar the
issuance Of priority orders for the
movement Of grain, flour, corn mea
and other grain products will relieve
the soft corn situation in the middle
west remains a problem which time
alone will solve, according to grain
dealers.
The priority order issued by Director
General tMcAdoo applies in Iowa, North
and South Dakota. Nebraska, Illinois
Minnesota, Montana Missouri, Kansas
Oklahoma and Wisconsin.

prises fully 40 per cent Of the crop Of
these states-in some localities the
percentage Is greater-is. according te
grain men, largely . matter OF fndins
q goat" Whoever holds the corn last
is likely to suffer the greatest financial
loss.
Dark For Farmers.
The situation has looked particularly
dark for farmers.
The country elevators are refusing
to buy soft corn from the farmers ex-
cept when they are able to obtain cars
for immediate shipment. They are
clearing out their own bins which. VI
to now, have been comparatively SAFE
because Of the frozen condition Of the
corn. The elevator men say they VII
buy no moro soft corn except When
they can ship it Immediately.
The priority order promises some re-
lief to the farmers, but a congestion
Of grain is feared in the spring despite
all efforts to move the crop. Only a
comparatively small amount Of the
1917 corn crop has been moved. A rush
which will tax the terminals, will begin
with the freer movement of grain cars
Farmers have been in no haste to shell
their corn knowing it would keep well
in the frozen state. With the approach
Of warm weather they will be COM
PEELED to dump It upon the market.
Just how the terminal markets will
;be able to handle this threatened rush
OF corn is problem. Virtually all OF
it will have to be run thru the great
terminal dryers, for the farmers are
holding back their best corn for their
own use and for seed.
Stop Order Feared.
In some quarters the fear is ex-
pressed that the priority order has
been issued too late and that when the
terminal markets find themselves
swamped with soft corn, orders will
be issued to stop buying. In that event
the order would react on the GARNER.
There are not many terminal mar
kets equipped with sufficient dryers e

pany is installing dryer in Sioux city
