OF the s3l cars Of karcorn inspected
at Chicago during the eigh. months
ending February 20, 1912, 277 cars,
nearly 81 per cent, graded No. 3. The
buyers want No. 2. and the reason
that 50 much Of the kafrcorn was No.
9, Was on account Of dirt and the grain
being musty. The inspectors complain
particularly about musty kafr through
the winter
The three largest buyers OF kafir In
Chicago are the Albert Dickerson Co.
dwards & Loomis Co. and the Quaker
Oats Co, somers, Jones & Co., grain
commission mrchants, are the largest
handlers Of kafrcorn on the Chicago
Board OF Trade. There are over 7O2
manufacturers Of poultry feeds IN the
United States that use kahrcorn large /
" IN their mixed poultry feeds. Dur
ing the past winter kafrcorn has been
sold at Chicago in carload lots at 81 [
to s1.40 per 100 pounds-5e to 7s.4l
cents bushel.
The demand for kafircorn Is increas.
Ing rapidly throughout the United
States.
Katircorn and milo, outside Of the
territory where II is growing, is at
present used chiefly in mixed poultry
feeds. and the poultry feed market is
taking this grain as fast as II Is Of
iered. During the spring and summer
the buyers have difficulty in
securing a sufficient supply to meet
their trade. One manufacturer OF
poultry feeds told me that he tritd to
start in the summer season with a
supply Of 400 or 500 tons. 1t is esti-
mated that the three largest Chicago
users OF kafIcorn for poultry feeds
use an average Of 2O,OOO,OOO pounds
Of kafircorn per month";
The demand for kafircorn BY the
Of poultry feeds viii
be constant. The national and state
pure food laws require that every

have a statement on each bag Of every

exact quantity Of each material, and
that this formula must be maintained
from month TO month and from year

Il Is offered for sale. Nearly all Of the /;

proportion Of kafrcorn. The regis I
