Barbed Wire Fight Spurs Iowa Farmers to Union
The Washburn barbed wire monopoly in Iowa is challenged by the State Partners Protective Association led by Coons of Des Moines. The group claims seven cents per pound under the patent, a temporary price drop from ten, and a plan to continue legal action if needed. The old fence in Scott County from 1861 is cited as prior use. Freeman, builder of the fence, is said to be tied to the association.
