Court Reverses Three Judgments in Farmers Case
Oklahoma City March 25 The state supreme court reversed five consolidated judgments by farmers of Aline Alfalfa county against Farmers National Grain Corp. The farmers sought payment for 630 bushels of wheat delivered in 1935, arguing the elevator acted as agent for the corporation. The court ordered further trial and clarified a stipulation. Plaintiffs include C F Young F W Law O S Law J W Elkins Leonard Johnson and C C Thomas. Young delivered grain to Home Builders Shipping Association elevator for market day purchase. The elevator closed in 1936 and Young sought market price. The suit centers on contract interpretation between the association and the corporation which funded grain buys.
