states-Market Feels Every Change.

Chicago, July 26-It may be broadly
ty days connected with the crops ana
the markets of this country mean much.
1t will be determened whether the
white bread eating and meat consuln-
ing people Of Europe and America are
to have abundant and normal prices or
scarcity and high prices for the next
twelve m onthS.
1t is a mistake to suppose that food
stuffs generally are to be judged by a
reasonably fair outlook for breadstuffs,
To much larger degree the price or
living depends on meats, lard, butter,
and other dairy products. TO say moth
ing of vegetables and garden stuff.
All these depend for abundance on
the supply of moisture which for the
four months from March l TO July /
We're abnormally short.
Spring Wheat Hurt First.
The whole world has been attracted
by the press reports on the drouth
damage to the spring wheat crop Of the
northwest. During the same period the
absence of normal rainfall was laying
the foundation of what may prove
greater calamity 10 producers and con-
sumers IN this country.
The subsoil far below the surface,
which supplies the vitality for the root
of the great corn crop when rains faii
and hot winds come in August, has not
its usual reserve of moisture this sea-
son.
This is why the hay crop dried up
from 80 to so per cent in many states
during June. This is why pastures
myre than ever before for years were
burned out so early in the season. 1t
is easy to see the adverse effect of these
conditions on stock feeding sections.
The drouth was felt most north of
the Chicago Omaha line. Many indi-
vdual farmers were forced TO part
with their cattle hogs. and sheep be-
cause their natural feed was gone.
August Critical For Corn.
All this is of minor Importance COM
pared with the possibility-many ex-
perts put it stronger and say proba-
bility-that this underlying absence of
moisture will during August and the
later maturing period in September
fail to carry the enormous corn acreage
Of the year thru safely. Already the
scare has begun.
The whole grain trade had its atten'
ton quickly taken from the acute
| drouth situation in the northwest the
| past week and centered on the fai
southwest where period OF dry
weather, followed by high temper
atures and hot winds, quickly cut down
the Oklahoma corn crop promise
The speculative trade had the alarm
ing facts over the private wire systems
even In advance of press reports, ana
the big corn pit on the board OF trace
became an excited. scrambing crowd
of buyers, with prices advanced 2E
cents a bushel in an hour, before the
| close on Thursday.
The next day the weather chart
posted expressly for the grain trade
showed scattered showers over the
western corn states, from Iowa dowf
| over Nebraska and Kansas. Rain was
reported at a couple of points in Okla
hona. The excitement in the trade
subsidized for day.

Conditions Seen Elsewhere.

Rut as the leaders in the trade assert,
this underlying drouth in the soil is not
restricted by state lines, southern Kan
sas corn is already showing some Of
the same adverse effects so plainly seen
in Oklahoma.
Only few days ago B. w. Snow
furnished the trade and the public with
figures from the meteorological sta
tons Of western states showing that the
whole upper Missouri Wiley, including
all the big corn states from Oklahoma
uorth to the South Dakota, line, have
experienced serious shortage of pre-
cipitation.
The prediction was made by this
crop-and- wea her wise man that the
underlying conditions for a drouth
calamity for the whole western Mis-
sissippi valley are much the same as
those which cut the spring wheat crop
conditions These declined from around
SO June 1 to GA in South Dakota and

Stock Raisers Fear Drouth.
1t is a study Of these conditions which
makes the corn trade nervous. These
are the facts which make the big stock
raisers of the west ana southwest anx-
iOuS about their herds. Danger to the
corn crop will mean further cut in
pasture and forage for all stock.
If the situation becomes serious
which corn raisers themselves say it
will, without unusual August rainfall,
the effect on the beef supply will he
scarcely less important than the actual
reduction in the cornfield.
What intensifies the anxiety over the
corn crop is the fact that 1t is late
one, that large portion of the acre
age was rep1anted a second time be-
cause Of cold weather in May, and
because Of poor seed corn for much
Iof the replanting.
This crop condition, it is claimed.
