SOLD CORN AT $2.12 A BUSHEL

Babcock & Hopkins-bought 1,000 bushels of old corn last week from R. A. Parkison, from his farm in Barkley township, , paying him therefor $2.12 per bushel. MpParkison usually feeds all the corn he raises, and buys considerably more, but he thought he could make more money selling this corn at the present time than in buying cattle and feeding it, and he was probably right, for it is not likely that corn this fall will be very near the $2.12 mark. Babcock & Hopkins also got in a few days ago 700 bushels of corn from Frank Welsh of Jordan township, but Frank’s foresight was not as good as his hindsight and he sold this some time ago for $1.54 per bushel.
