CORN DECLINES
ON CROP REPORT
Yield Indicated Is Largely
In Excess OF What
Was Expected

Chicago, oct. s.-Downturns in the
price of corn resulted today from the
government crop report which showed
a yield largely in excess Of what the
trade had expected. Opening quota
tions, which ranged from quarter to
II56fl5H NAY were followed by a
moderate additional decline.
Bullish constructions placed on the
government report as to oats gave
relative firmness to that cereal. There
was persistent heavy buying Of the
December delivery.
OF speculation in. cotton
seed oil had a weakening effect on
provisions. Talk of government moves
to reduce hig prices to $40 a hundred
pounds formed another stimulus to
selling.
Possibilities of government meas
ures to reduce prices led to increased
heaviness. The close was unsettled,
IL to 1&c net lower at $1.1S1 q
1.1S& December and $1.14K May.
The range of prices follows:

states, except California (where the
crop is already planted and growing)

sugar beets could undoubtedly plant
small acreage, thereby still further
increasing the sugar production. Ow-
ing to the fact that sugar beets can be
produced to advantage for sugar max
ing purposes only in those areas
where sugar mills are located, the
areas in which they can be grown for
sugar production are limited as COM
pared with the larger areas that are
or may be devoted to the production
of other foods.
The sugar beet by-products, tops
and pulp, are of high value for stock
feeding purposes. All arrangements
should be made, therefore, to utilize
the sugar beet by-products as an aid
in producing an extra supply of meat
and dairy products. Every pound of
beet tops or pulp utilized for stock
will save a certain amount of grain
and other feed required for meat and
dairy animals, or will increase the
meat and meat products output if
properly used.

RREASONS FOR THE GREAT
SHORTAGE IN MEATS

There is a scarcity in our meat sup
ply, as evidenced by the present high
prices, and this scarcity especially in
the present national crisis. must be
given attention by live stock men all
over the country if we are to meet the
situation. R. W. Clark, extensive ami
NAL husbandnlan of the Extension SER
vice of the Colorado Agricultural col
lege, has the following to say regard
ing the present conditions:
1.-The shortage in the meat supply
is due to number of things. Many
of our farmers have ceased raising
live stock because they found it un-
profitable. The coming of the home
steader to the free ranges has taken
away the free feed formerly available
for livestock, with the result that the
production of beef has become much
more expensive. Our ranges are, in
fact, today part of the great grain
belt Of our country. In spite of the
popular cry against the high price of
meat, the price to the farmer has not
increased in proper ratio to the in
crease in the cost of production and
a lower production has been the logi-
cal result
Attention must be given to the
| fertility of the soil if we are to in
crease our meat production The ex-
perience Of the central states, where
the soil was bled for SO many years
and where the farmers faced seri-
Gus problem in replenishing their
lands, should be lesson to us in Colo
RADIO.
I'VE must build up our lands so we
can grow sufficient forage for our
livestock. Forage is absolutely nee
essary and livestock cannot be rails
ed without it.
Give the farmer reasonable re-
turn on his investment and reason
able wage for his labor and he will re-
plenish the soil and produce all the
animal products that this world needs.
