CORN CROP WILL SAVE
AMERICA, MANLY FINDS
Wheat Prospect in West Is
Gloomy, but Corn Will
Yield Heavily
BY BASIL M. MANLY.

CHICAGO, May 26.-Reports from
5000 country bankers in the six great
grain states were laid before me today
i'm my tour of the vital food centers of
the country. and on their showing
Americas wheat situation is gloomy.
These reports were gathered by M. A.
Traylor, president Live Stock National
Exchange bank
Traylor says these country bankers
don't guess; they know The reports
cover hIllinois. Indiana, Iowa. E. Sout
Dakota, Minnesota and Wisconsin.
What these bankers have to say mere
ly emphasizes the gloom of the govern
ment crop report on winter wheat.
Minnesota, Wisconsin and northern
Iowa are the only states showing more
than a normal acreage of wheat sur
viving the winter kill"
Worst conditions are found in south
ern Iowa and central Illinois.
But the gloom of the wheat situa-
tion should be largely dissipated by the
assurance given in these reports that
with anything like decent weather this
summer we will have enough corn to
feed ourselves, all our allies, and
enough over to fatten pigs and cattle.
Taking the six states together the av-
erage increase in corn acreage is 20 per
cent, ranging from Is per cent in Min
nesota and wisconsin to 25 per cent in
central Illinois.
The season is nearly two weeks late.
but this merely means that with a
shorter growing season chances for
crop failure are diminished.
High prices of corn have resulted in
a great decrease of the number of cattle
being fattened for market everywhere
except in the northern part of South
Dakota. The decrease in the number of
cattle on feed reaches so per cent in the
greater part of Iowa. The average for
the six states is about 80 per cent be-
low normal
Even with corn AT the present high
prices there is good profit in fattening
cattle for market, if the farmer could
be assured that cattle prices would not
fall below the stock was ready to mar
ket. but with prices uncertain few are
willing to take gamble. This situa-
ton is regarded as one of the strongest
arguments for government price guar
antees.
There are fewer cattle on ranches
and farms in each of the states except
South Dakota. average decrease from
normal being at least 20 per cent. High
prices of beef. high prices of corn and
hay and late pasturage season nave
combined TO send stock to market which
should have been held for fattening and
breeding. There will be no more cheap
beefsteaks for years to come.
Hog conditions are almost exactly like
those for cattle. South Dakota alone
shows an increase in the total number
of hogs and the average decrease is
little more than 20 per cent
Even the breeding of sows for the
summer farrow shows a decrease in the
majority of states, although 1t would
naturally be supposed that present high
prices would stimulate hog raising.
But here again the farmer hesitates
TO gamble on raising pigs on high-priced
corn to sell at a loss in the monopolized
and. as the farmer at least believes, ar
tifcially controlled market of Packing
town He has been beat by the game
so often He is afraid of it.
