GOVT And JONES
SPLIT ON CORN
LOCAL ESTIMATOR OUT OF LINE
IN FIGURES.
He Stands Pat on an Estimate Under
2,0O0,000,000 Bushels, and Says He
Will Be Borne Out Finally-The
Government Makes Condition Oct.
l, Indicating About 2,469,0OO Bushels.

The government report was the gen
eral topic of conversation at the Cham
Der of Commerce this morning, especial
interest being taken in it for the rea-
son that there is wide difference in
the yield of corn as represented by the
government condition, and the estimate
expert. Weeks ago Jones said the corn
crop would be in the neighborhood Of
1900, 100000. The trade has figured
that the government IS condition of $3.50

bushels. Many think the government
report high. The crop finals will tell
Asked as to whether, in view Of the
@;former estimate, Mr.. Jones said he
-ould not; that he feels that he is right

~ realize that I stand alone on my
corn estimate of l,900,000,0OO, said
Mr.. Jones, "but also stand pat. The
crop estimator who is consci entious
needs the courage of his convictions,
and he must expect. to become the sub
iect. of ieers and Misrepresentation. We
we accept it. We do, not change our
estimate of the ,country's corn crop. We
reject altogether all reports of 2,20Q,-
100000 up. In our Judgment such fg-
ures are an impossibility. We expect
to see the crop close to 1000, 1t
will take the crop outturn to develop
the overestimate of the majority, and
this is not advancing the idea that our
estimated total is exact. It is close
enough to do business on, and possibly
when the year closes it will be found
that after all there was something the
matter with corn. All we ask is a fair
show. We do not change our figures
constantly to fit every wind that blows
but stand or fall on first figures; We
feel that we saw the good and bad
