UNITED Press Leased Wire Service. ]
CHICAGO, Oct. S.-Profts expected
by farmers on a good corn season
have been wiped out by bumper
crop and panicky price conditions,
IB. w. Snow, grain crop expert, said
here to-day.
Snow predicted heavy financial
losses for corn growers.
The crop this year, Snow said, was
an exceptionally large one and Of fine
quality.
This means loss to the farmer"
said Snow, figuring on a basis of
wages paid Sfarmhands and the gen
eral production costs.
The decline in wheat, Snow be-
lieves, is only temporary. He pre-
dicted wheat will sell again at high
figures before another crop is raised.
'The world supply is below any
reasonable expectation of world de-
mand. The severe break in whear
prices was not due to the demand
and supply situation in wheat 1t
represented the general panicky price
declines and in all probability wheat
will again sell at high prices before
another crop is raised"
That the 1920 corn crop is q
record breaker was the belief ex
pressed today by Henry Cox, govern
ment weather forecaster for the
middle west.
Cox declared the long summer re.
suited in the production of a ninety
percent crop, where it had been
figured the best that could be OBJ
tanned was seventy-five percent crop.
1.-THE wonderful September weather
in the middle west did more to lower
prices Of necessities than anything
else" said Cox. "It forced declines
in grain and contributed more to
knocking the H out of the Fl c. of
L. than any other single thing"

ENROUTE WITH GOVERNOR
cox, PADUCAH, KY, Oct. s.-The
political stake for which "the sena-
torial oligarchy' is playing in this
campaign is the absolute control OF
the United States supreme court" in
addition to domination Of the prest
dency and congress. Governor James
M. Cox charged in a statement here
today as he opened his final day OF
stump campaigning in the south.
Predicting that four vacancies
tribunal within the next four years,
the democratic candidate asserted
the republican senate leaders, in the
exercise Of their right TO confirm
or reject presidential appointments
would demand that Senator Harding,
If elected, appoint four reactionary
judges.
"The senatorial crowd Is playing
for big stakes, which are no more
or less than the absolute control OF
the three constitutional branches OF
government" Cox said.
He said he had Information Of IAN
understanding in republican circles
as to one supreme court appoint
ment.'
The governor characterized Hard
ing's Des Moines speech as making
beyond all doubt the league Of ma
tons the great issue of the campaign.
Senator Hardfng's position is now
known" he said. ''In response to
my questioning, he says he is against
the league altogether. Evidently he
has heard from Brother Borah. He
is against the league and l am for 1t.

Yet Harding continues to make

He declared in his Omaha speech
that he is not completely in accord
