Corn contract disputes and barberry program noted
The Thurman Times reports on a Fre mont county case where Mr Kleckner of Farragut sold 7 000 bushels of corn to William McMahill at 58 cents per bushel. Farmers Co operative Co of Farragut claims to have bought at 60 cents and sues for contract violation due to a 30 day delivery shortfall. Kleckner resold at 68 cents after the limit. The co operative argues time had not expired. The piece notes other similar deals and underscoring court interpretation needs. The Agriculture Department seeks 350 000 for Barberry eradication, trimmed to 450 000 by committee. A Cedar Creek Neb reader sends a 1924 date advance and praise for The Tribune. Also Christmas tree and decor ads from L B Robinson.
