Maine Corn Is Worth the Price

Maine sweet corn growers are not
alone in asking for living price. For
some time the sweet corn growers of
Maine have been told that they would
eventually drive the packers out of the
State by demanding such prices that
Maine grown corn. although superior il
quality, could not be sold. that corn
packed in other states was gradually
replacing Maine grown and packed corn
on the shelves Of the retail grocer.
The following clipping from a paper
tells the real conditions as outlined at
meeting of the National Gamers AS
ISOLATION, recently held at Cleveland,
Ohio:
GAMERS ALERT FOR BUSINESS
"Fears of shortage in the acreage
given over to sweet corn were expressed
at the recent Cleveland meeting of the
National Gamers Association.
1.-THE center of the sweet corn belt,
Iowa and Illinois, finds farmers there
inclined to abandon this crop and grow
field corn, because they arc dssatis-
fed to some extent with prices offered
them by some of the Gamers. Merritt
Green Of Marshalltown, Iowa. expressed
the opinion that Gamers must make UP
their minds to offer farmers good prices
at the beginning Of the coming season
in order to secure an ample supply u
high grade corn"
It may be interesting to the consum-
ing public to know the cost of produce
ing an acre of sweet corn in Maine.

AS the 1919 yield per acre Is admitted
by the Gamers to be the largest in the
history of the industry. It Is necessary
to consider the average production
covering a period Of years. which ac-
cording to past records is two thousand
pounds per acre, this average yield at 80
per pound gives the grower $40 per acre
at cost Of @10l.6S.

QUIZ
TO PLANT COTTON
southerners Advised Against
Such Procedure by Dr..
E. R. Lloyd.

Many Southern cattlemcn are selling
their herds TO go into the cotton plant
ing business. said Or. Z. X. Lloyd, di-
rector OF the farm development bureau
of the Memphis Chamber OF Commerce
Wednesday. on his return from trip
through Alabama and Mississippi He
is advising cattlemen against sale OF
their herds but said mary are quitting
the business. He fears also that food
crops win not be as great this year as
are necessary to supply the local de-
mand
because Of declines in the stock mar
ket and short feed crops. Or. Lloyd
predicts that as soon as the market
again becomes settled and export BUS
mess is resumed on its normal scale
farmers will return 10 the stock ousl-
ness and he is urging them not 10 sen.
"They are selling out on the lowest
market that has existed for several
years" he said, land in year or two
viii buy back at much higher prices.
Now is the time to stay in the cattle
business or to get into the cattle busi-
ness as blooded herds can be bought
for half of what they sold for several
years ago. II cattle raisers quit their
business for cotton they will destroy
pastures it has taken several years TO
develop. A farmer can change from
cotton to any other crop without Sc
rious loss or trouble but to change
from stock raising to cotton involves
loss of herds and pastures that are the
product of several years work.
Short feed crops caused thousands of
head of cattle in Southern states to die
last winter said Dr. Lloyd A veteri-
marian in Madison county, Mississippi
claims 10000 head were lost in that
county because of starvation and pois-
oning caused by cattle eating decom-
posed weeds and gross Hundreds died
in Madison county, Tennessee, also and
in Alabama DIR. Lloyd found hundreds
had died from the same cause in every
county in the state.
While in Alabama DIR. Lloyd attend
