War era fabric bargain turns costly for buyer
A 1918 purchase of four yards of navy blue crepe de chine at 2.50 a yard proved an unwise bargain as today the material costs rise to 13.16 with 4 percent interest over seven years or 15.04 at 6 percent, far above current market for crepe de chine. Arctic October temps and high moisture content threaten seed corn supplies, says Iowa State College expert F. G. Churchill, urging preservation of all usable seed corn.
