FARMERS ARE NOT

Shortage Explained by Multi
piled Demands on Top of
Short Year.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 25.-That the
not due to abnormal holdings Of sup
plies by farmers is the belief Of the
United states department Of agri-
culture based on reports Just received
from crop correspondents Dr. illinois,
ohio. Kentucky. Iowa and " M'5souri.
These states arc typical of the great
surplus Whltc-corn producing region
OF tho United States, the department
declares, and their conditions indicate
conditions thrIout tho corn producing
area. The Investigations di8colsci
that farmers arc holding only enough
corn 10 Insure their seed supply fOr
next spring and 10 protect their live
stock feeding interests until the
production OF q sufficient supply from
the present crop IS assured. and that
the stock I'm their hands are much
lower than normally.
Among tho conditions making for
highcorn prices, according 10 the de-
partmcnt Of agriculture, are shortage

from 1915. increased exports. increase
in the general level Of prices and the
increased numbers live stock on farms.
The 1915 corn crop. In is pointed out,
was 400. 100000 bushels short Of the
1915 crop. and stocks on farms on
March /, 1917. were 900. 900. 900 BUSH
els snort OF the stocks on farms on
the same date the preceding year. The
exports Of corn In the year ended
June 80, 1917. were approximately 20
per cent greater than in the preceding
year and about seven timel greater
than in the year ended June 80, 1914,
the year percedlng the war Tho gem
eral level OF prices. 1t is pointed out,
has increased greatly during the last
year. especially as regards foodstuffs.
Live stock IN the United States has
increased about three million head IN
the past three years, statistics Of the
department show. and so has helped

feeding purposes.
With short corn stocks, the depart
ment specialists point out, the highest
corn prices are naturally being reach

crop, when the shortage III most

point TO the harvesting OF large crop
OF corn this year provided climatic
conditions are favorable during the
remainder OF the season.
