"Then one of the hind wheels came
off, and the surrey keeled over and

IOWA FARMERS WILL
FEED CORN TO HOGS
DUE TO MARKET COST
tpy The Associated Press.)

Des Moines, Ia, Aug. "a
Iowa's corn crop, estimated at
405,299,00 bushels, will propaoly
be fed to livestock on the farms
of the state, according to farmers
and farm experts.
The main reason for this is
that the cost of marketing corn
is so high that there is no profit
for the farmers at the present
market price, the experts declare.
Corn is the basic ration for
livestock in the middle west, and
under normal conditions Iowa
ships only % per cent of its corn
to outside markets. The 1921
crop is 90 per cent of normal. ac-
cording to the government report,
indicating that if conditions were
normal only S9,150,3S0 bushels
would be shipped out OF the state
this year.
1t is pointed out that there Is
wider margain between the
prices of corn and pork at this
time than has recently occurred,
hence farmers believe that the
only logical thing to do with their
corn is to feed it to their swine
and thus realize a real profit by
shipping their corn to market as
meat products. Cheap corn means
merely that feeding operations can
be handled with more profit to
feeders.
