Chicago. III. Argentine corn is
being shipped to Peoria, ILL.,, the
center of the corn belt of the United
States. This corn, consigned to the
Miller Grain Co. of Peoria. is the
advance shipment OF vast invasion
OF Argentine corn products, which
will be sold in the United States in
competition with American corn.
The invasion of Argentine corn is
made possible because of the fact
that under the Underwood tariff
law the duty on corn has been re
moved, making unrestricted competl-
ton possible. This dumping of Ar
gentine corn upon the Peoria mar
ket has had a startling and dramatic
effect and is calling attention to the
competition which the middle west
farmer viii have tc meet from the
South American republic.
1t is understood that nearly a
million bushels of Argentine earn
has already been used in glucose.
The fact that corn from the Argen-
tine is being shipped into the United
States at this time is the more re-

ideally all the shipping of the coun-

The freight rates are so high that

spite of these excessive freight
charges, Argentine corn can be plac-

price less than that paid for Ameri-
