ELEMENTS HAVE
HURT SEEDCORN.
BACKWARD SPRING AND sAPPY
CONDITION IN FALL HAVE
CAUSED A SHORTAGE.

Roy Palmer. Of EddyvHle has written
The Courier letter in regard to the
seed corr situation. He says that II
will be q big job to supply the demand
for seed at spring planting time He
attributes the poor condition Of seed
corn to tho backward spring and the
sappy tall conditions. He writes as
follows:
Tho seed corn situation this year is
worse than the most of US anticipated
Corn. throughout the corn belt, due to
the backward spring and the sappy
immature condition In tho fall, 10 gem
seAlly unit for seed. II, therefore, be-
hooves ever farmer who does not al
ready have enough seed to get busy
and ind some.
II have made q number Of tests of
god corn taken from the field 1t husk-
Ing time and find that not one third
of it 10 fit for seed. According to esti-
mates made by the agricultural Extern
sion Department at Ames, only about
rs per cent Of the seed necessary to
plant the 1918 crop was saved before
the killing frost.
VERY f0W people realize the serious .
ness Of the seed corn situation this
year. Very few farmers have enough
good seed Of this years crop saved 70
plant their next seasons crop. The
thought occurs to me that we are goin,,
to have a big job for our Wapello coun-
ty agricultural agent IL he locates
enough good home grown seed corn to
meet the demand there Will be before
the spring planting"

GRAIN REVIEW

Chicago. Dec. 24.--Forecasts Of much
colder weather had bullish effect to-
day on corn. Misgivings were felt that
the prospective lower temperature
would handicap the railroads and tend
to further delay of the crop movement.
Besides there was but little selling pes
cure on the market. Trade was Of a
holiday character. Opening prices
which ranged from " to &c higher.
with January $1.25h and May $1.24h
were followed by q slight additional
upturn.
Complaints Of car scarcity gave rel
alive firmness to the market later, al
though top prices were not maintain
ed. The close was unsettled at nc TO
1c net advance with January $1.25M
and May $1.24h.
Oats showed sympathy with the ad-
vance in corn. demand however being
mostly for small lots.
Announcement OF huge movement
contracts having been let to packing
houses gave strength to provisions.
Moreover. the arrivals Of hogs were
less plentiful than had been expected.
