every farmer could feed all the corn
he could raise and market it through
his animals, but when the price of hogs
went down after having been fed with
last years expensive crop of corn. the
farmer naturally went out OF the hog
business and that price Is now reflected
IN the price OF corn.
Somebody must own this corn. and
farmers generally want 10 get their
money out of il. The commission mas
borrows the money from his bank.
after having hedged his purchase of
corn in the country. and the farmer
gets his cash in hand, transferring all

Irrational Crop Improvement Service
T~HREE and one quarter billion
bushels OF corn were raised in
L. the United States. This crop,
on more than a hundred million acres.
was worth more than two billion dollars
The war period made our corn worth
a little more money, but it is doubtful
If its purchasing power was as great.
OF course the great volume of this
crop is consumed on the farm.
For several years there has been
constant struggle between feeders OF
dairy cattle and growers of corn as
money crop; one set of farmers accus-
ing the other set of being profiteers.
Corn is now about at its pre-war
price ard the problem now is to find
enough animals to feed, which at the
present price is the most profitable
way of handling this immense crop.
The surplus of corn which will be
handled through grain exchanges will
probably be greater than ever before
It would be very simple matter if
