YOUR CORN WILL SHRINK.
Fiftesn Per Cent Less Next Spring
Than Now.


According to information just col
lected by the Missouri Agricultural
college, the farmer who puts his corn
in a crib 10 hold it for better prices
can count on a loss by next June OF
al least is per cent. That Is to say
leaving out Of account the cost OF
handling aud loss BY waste' thirty
cents bushel, for the crop now is
better than thirty.fve cents next
spring.
This con clusion is based ON the re-
ports OF careful experiments covering
seven years and extending over q
large part Of the Mississippi valley.
At the Iowa station, for example,
1000 pounds 81 corn were husked and
stored October 10 in crib built upon
scales In order that the weight might
be taken without disturbing the
natural condition Of storage. There
was shrinking Of sper cent for the
first quarter year, 5 per cent for the
second. 5 per cent for the third and
2 81 per cent for the last quarter
The experiment was conducted under
the conditions that normally exist in
this section Of the United States and
the results may, therefore, be taken
Is typical.
