With crop OF corn 500. 100000 bush.
els less than that of last year In pros
pect many people are jumping to the
conclusion that prices for that grain
will be proportionately higher than
they are now. Therefore, they reason.
this will be a better year to sell corn
than to feed II Corn may be higher
than 1t is now, for the crop is not safe
yet but the effect of the lessened yield
has already been discounted in market,
as is shown by the present high price
level. Furthermore, 1t is very likely
that much less corn will be needed
than last year. Not so much stock will
be fed, nor will SO much of the crop be
devoted to replenishing the reserves,
which were practically exhausted when
the last crop was harvested. Under
these conditions. unless there is great
damage to the crop by early frost, 1t Is
we'll not to expect too much Of corr
prices, advises National Stockman.
