Final 1921 corn production may
..be less than year ago, but prob
ably win be several hundred mil
lion bushels more than in pre-War
normal times.
Big Exports.
Exports of corn have been break
ing all records Europe, which
can't afford wheat in many sec
tons, Is eating corn.
In the SO weeks up to June 30,
corn exports totaied 50,616,29I
bushels, against only 3,s3s,95z
bushels the year before.
This record movement of corn to
seaboard continues. In the fort
night ended Sept 1, corn exports
were 1895, 534 bushels, against
1928 bushels IN the correspond
ing two weeks of 1920 and 262, 535
bushels in 1919.
Some traders estimate that 49,
900 900 bushels OF corn have been
sold for export in the last two
months.
But these exports, big as they
are, Will make only relatively
small hole in the total crop.
A factor that may disturb the
market later. il it has not already
been discounted, is the big feed
crops being raised this year in the
south.
Prices Low.
No. 2 mixed corn in Chicago
lately has been selling below so
cents a bushel. The price in Sep
tember, 1918, averaged about 65
cents.
Two years ago the price was
around 81 a bushel.
Wages of harvest hands in the
middle west are averaging about SO
a day, this season, against 81 a
year ago.
Despite this. farmers say. their
income from corn and other crops
will be so reduced that there is
not much chance of the farmers

FARMERS BURN
CORN ASFUEl
Reports Prom Various Sections of
Middle West State Grain Is
Cheaper Than Coal.

Chicago, Sept. 1as-MHlions OF
bushels of corn will be burned as
fuel this winter on farms in the
middle west, according to Chicago
grain experts.
Prospects are that farmers IN
Iowa, Kansas and Nebraska VIII
realize not more than rs cents q
bushel for this years corn crop
AT Is cGnts a bushel, it's cheaper
to burn corn than coal delivered To
farms at present high prices
The farmer Is getting only about
half as much for his corn as the
Chicago grain market price. This
is due to high freight rates.
Meanwhile, due largely TO high
freight rates, the farmer in the
middle west has to pay two To three
times as mnch for his coal as Is
charged at the eastern mines.
Huge Crop.
The 1871 corn crop will be about
3, 100, 100000 bushels, according to
