ROCHESTER - Here's a unique transaction which may be followed by other residents of this city as a means of helping the corn growers to find an outlet for this low-priced commodity.
W.O. "Oce" Kilmer, who resides on East Ninth Street, this city, purchased three tons of yellow field corn from Herman Cleland, a farmer of west of Rochester, paying 25 cents per bushel. Kilmer had the corn dumped into his basement coal bin and will use it in his furnace in the place of coal this winter. He states it gave out a most satisfactory heat and he believed it would be somewhat cheaper than coal.
