CORN CROP GOOD
Larger Acreage Is Expected.
Due to Good Weather.
Use of Tested Seed Will Insure
Better Yield.

Chicago April 26. - Unfavorable
views on 1918 corn prospects held by
some experts were matched today by
optimistic statements from other OBJ
servers in the corn belt. y fortnight
of warm weather to encourage seed
ing. these observers said, would insure
a larger acreage than last year, while
seed testing and communicating of
seed has made certain of good yield
under faVora Bile conditions.
Dry weather has permitted early
blowing in Iowa where indications are
that eleven million acreage of 1917
will be exceeded. A surplus of five
thousand bushels tested seed is held
in reserve for possible re-plantings.
But Some Arc Pessimistic.
W G. COupland, head of the agri-
cultural department of the Nebraska
Council of Defense, stated the Nebras-
Ia corn acreage would be normal or
better.

placed an embargo on seed exports
Now We have a reserve for emergen-

B. NJ Snow, Chicago crop expert,
viewed matters differently. Reports
of seed testing are disappointing, ne
said. Corn acreage will show de-
creas Sc because of the heavy winter
wheat and early oats planting
