DECLINE IN CORN
AFFECTS OTHERS
ALL GRAINS MORE OR LESS WEAK
As RESULT OF CONTINUED
DROP IN FEED.

Chicago, Jan. S.-Drastic selling out
Of corn had a weakening effect today
on all cereals. Shipments Of corn from
Argentina reached a heavy total and
there was a continuance Of mild
weather in this country, lessening the
demand for feed. Predictions OF cold
coming soon were ignored. The opening
which for corn was the same as last
night to W off, was followed by ma
terial decline.
Prices rallied later when corn swung
more in favor of the bulls. The close
was steady at shade above last night.
Wheat spectators tried to follow the
corn market, buying when it was weak
and selling when there were signs of a
turn. The disappearance Of snow pro,
lection in the winter belt had an offset
in forecast of larger world ship
ments. Prices started unchanged to rs c
higher and hardened little more 7but
then underwent a sag.
Afterward, Buenos Aires reports that
the corn crop was late owing to the
frost gave the market an upward turn.
The close was nervous at an advance OF
as@1sc net.
Buying on the part Of cash oats rela-
lively steady. Selling pressure was only
moderate.
Provisions went upgrade with hogs.
First sales were 5 to 71ac higher and
there was a decided further advance.

MARKET NOTES

Present hog market conditions are
exactly the reverse Of those existing a
year ago when feed was abundant and
cheap, the industrial sky unclouded and
everybody had unbounded confidence In
the market future. Bankers have ag-
gravated matters by shaking OUT
growers and every factor entering into
the equation has favored premature
marketing.

exercise. 1t costs from is to 20 cents
Der bushel to harvest and market wheat
in the greater part Of the whealt bells
of the Pacific Northwest, the cost vary
| ing with the yield, the method Of har-
vesting and thrashing and the distance
the wheat is hauled to market In sons
of the more arid wheat-growing dis
ltriets Of both Oregon and Washington
the yield Of wheat is frequently as low
as 9 to 8 bushels per acre. The cost OK
harvesting and marketing such crops
runs from IS to 40 cents per busheL The
cost of harvesting and marketing bar
Hey is approximately the same as thas
lof wheat. When the hogs are 30 man
laged that the crop is thoroughly cleaned
lup, hogging off the crop practically
lsaves the cost Of harvesting and mar
lketing. In the case Of bodybuilding
crops this saving is considerable.
1 Most of the crops that are suitable
for hogging off are utilized during tia
busiest season Of the year, !. O., at q
'ltime when 1t is very desirable that the
lhops require as little attention az pos
sible. II turned into mature field OF
wheat, pears or corn and provided with
water, shade and salt, the hogs require
very little other attention.
!. Most of the arabic lands OF the Pa
eific Northwest would be materially
{, benefited by the addition Of moro or.
ganic matter. When the crop 10 hogged
off, the straw, pea vines or cornstalks'
. as the case may be, ara left on ths
!. ground. By cutting this material thor
oughly in the fall of the year with :
a sharp disk harrow and plowing it under
: the soil is enriched in vegetable matter
This, in turn, greatly reduces the ten
dency of the soil to wash.

n evenly over the field.
