THE Iora State Register Of the goth says
of lie corn crop of the State: a large
portion Of the corn Of Iowa will be ruined
in the crib. If there had been favorable
weather after the first frost there would
now be a different situation. Dry. windy
weather may yet benefit the crop, but cold
weather is at hand and the corn may
freeze and remain frozen, in which state
it gets no better. The only advice we can
give is to store in narrow and wcll-ven-
tilated cribs. 1t is useless 10 ak about
leaving corn out TIL IT is dry. In more
southern latitudcs corn is frequently left
out till February and March, and in some
parts Of this State 1t can be done, but in
most of the State it cannot be safely left
out later than the Goth of next month.
Corn is net as sound and as heavy as an
average crop"
