CORN FALLS short
COLD OCTOBER MAKES CORN
QUALITY POOR-WILL BE
USED FOR FEED.

1t has been reported that the corr
crop, which promised so much for
this favored section at about the time
OF first frost, and which was said by
those having large fields of this crop.
that the yield would be high, and
that the quality would be good. Just
what the average yield expected was
not said, but the quality was repre-
sented to be good. Now there are
several complaining that there will
be very little marketable corn in this
section. This not on the evidence of
n man alone, but several have
made the same statement.
L. A. Johnson, who has a large
field of corn, and who has kept in
touch with the condition, says that
many of the ears are soft and shaky.
Some who have husked corn and put
it into the crib are moving it because
it has begun to heat. He says that
he does not think the corn was frost
ed, but that it is some disease which
attacks the cob, rendering it soft,
black and crumbling in the grasp.
The kernel on such ears are soft, and
in cases where corn has undergone
the tests for moisture it has shrunk
in weight 33 per cent and is wholly
unfit for market.
Mr.. Johnson is feeding 200 hogs,
and nearly as many cattle. He had
no intention of marketing his corn,
and went into the market early for
shoats. This was before the condi-
ton of corn was known, and at a
time when favorable weather would
have dried it. Later, feeders realiz-
ing the condition of their corn have
gone into the market, and now Mr..
Johnson says that the price of feed
ing stock has advanced sharply on
account of the demand for stock to
which to feed it.
We did not have normal October
weather in October, it being cold and
damp. The corn did not cure prop
erly. Had the weather been normal,
with the normal amount of sunshine
and dry wind, it would have fore
stalled a great deal of the wet quality
of the crop, even il it could do moth
ing for the irregular yield and poor
development. But the month was
cold and damp, and the soft condition
of the corn was not improved at all,
and it makes it necessary for most of
it to be used as fodder for immediate
feeding, and will not be in condition
to she'll and put into bins, or to ship.
