FULTON, Mo-, January lin
ability of Galloway County mules
feeders to dispose of their mules to
st. Louis buyers has led to the decis-
ion ON the part Of several to ship them
to mississippi and Alabama. Even
though the feeders realize they will
not be able to break even on their
cashholdings and that they cannot get
cash for them, they contend it will be
better to let the Southern planters
have them on credit and work them
through a season, rather than to keep
on feeding them in pens here.
