Ship Corn in from Iowa
Fred Marquardt received a car load
of corn from northern Iowa Thurs
day of last week, having the grain
shipped in to supply the demand
among local farmers and feeders for
their stock. The corn is being sold
at $1.13 a bushel, certainly a lot
different than a few years ago when
it was selling as low as 9 cents and
frequently burned in lieu of wood or
coal. The drouth has had much to
do with this greatly inflated price,
however.
