MARKETS FOR SOFT CORN.

ture Makes Survey Of Corn Driers.
The closing OF many d!stilleries un-
der the food control act has not de-
stroyed the market for soft corn, &C.
cording to a statement from the bureau
OF markets. which has made q survey
Of grain drying plants now in opera
ton and under construction at 80 ter
minal points.
The survey shows $50 grain driers in
operation and II under construction,
aside from the few distilleries still
running. The combined capacity OF
the grain driers Is about 100000 BUSH
els Of corn every "a hours. The de-
partment states that this survey prob
ably does not include all plants, but Is
inclusive enough to allay rumors that
there would be no market for soft corn.
An unusual amount Of soft corn was
harvested in 1917. because Of early
frpsts and cool, wet weather in Sep
TENDER and October. 1t can be sold
direct to grain driers. says the depart
ment, or in many markets can be dried
for the producer at cost Of three
quarters to two and one-half cents q
bushel and sold in dried condition.
Owing to present transportation dit
fculties. 1t Is recommended that farm
ers and country shippers delay the
movement Of soft corn unless conditions
at the terminal market are favorable.
The greatest return for soft corn is
said to be received when 1t Ia fed to
stock on the farm.

Fred Moore, OF Moore Bros, farmers
living between the towns Of Manly and
Kensett demonstrated the possibility OF
raising corn even last summer when
he captured a couple OF first prizes
with his displays at county contest.
There Is a very good crib Of corn on
the Moore farm due perhaps largely
to the fact that the growers ploweti
under two soot growth of mammoth
clov5r, put the ground in good plant
ing condition last spring, planted good
seed and cultivated their crop five
times. That kind Of farming generally
produces corn, where and when such \
thing Is possible.
There is evidently more than one
way to relieve possible sugar short
age as the farmers Of the Kensett
neighborhood propose to demonstrate.
A sorghum "agitator" among their
number constituted himself commit

urging them each to plant one acre OF
the crop with the result that some
twenty-five or more have signed up"

still in condition Is available and will
