Adam Nagel was a visitor at The Republican office one day this week. He reports that his corn crop the past year was less than one-fourth his crop of the year before. To be exact, he raised 7,000 bushels in 1913 and from the same acreage and with the use of fertilizer he raised only 1,700 bushels in 1914.

There are not enough ware houses for the tobacco and when a farmer brings a wagon load to market he has to wait until there is room to accept his tobacco and often he has to stay in town for a week.
