So, $50 bushels would be shipped
out of the state this year.
It pointed out that there is a
wider margin 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 II
to their swine and thus realize a
real profit by shipping their corn
to market as meat products. Cheap
corn means merely that feeding OPP
erations can be handled with more
profit to feeders.
Investigators at Iowa State col
lege at Ames have found that corn
would. at best, be expensive fuel.
They declare that it does not burn
we'll, gives comparatively little
heat, and il used as fuel would
have to be replaced with more ex-
pensive feed for livestock. These
investigators state that the price
of coal would have to be doubled
to make corn a profitable fuel.
The total number Of livestock
now on Iowa farms is estimated al

so per cent Of their feed. Hay
pasture, oats and other grains make
up the balance of the feed.

SAY NO PLANS YET
TO REBUILD CHUTE
DAMAGED BY FIRE

No plans have yet been made to
rebuild the coal pocket" at the
Rock Island Lumber & Manufac-
turing company yards, which was
badly damaged by fire Friday night
of last week.
A. B. DuVon, general manager OF
the company, stated today that
there has been no insurance ad-
justment on the loss as yet 1t has
been found that loss will not run
as high as at first predicted. 1t
was believed at first that the dam
age would amount to about $4,000.
However, not as much of the build
ing is damaged as was thought and
more of the coal that was in the
big chute was saved than was be-
ieved possible.

MOVIE POSTERS

Chicago, Sept, 2.-Censorship of

1t has enabled the censor board
to eliminate nudes from street dis

used to be that the board would cut
out a nude every time it appeared
