ST. Paul-According to the report of
Paul H. Kirk, statistician for the Min
nesota Cooperative Reporting Ser
vice, United States Bureau of Markets
and Crop Estimates and the Mime
sofa State Department of Agriculture,
there were on Minnesota farms March
l, 1922, 50,5S2,000 bushels of corn, g..
$4,000 bushels of wheat, 38,612,0
bushels of oats and 5,493,000 bushels
of barley. The report shows that $3.50
of the 1921 corn crop was still on
farms. The two factors influencing
this large reserve were the compare
lively low price and the bumper crop
of 1921, which was the largest ever
produced. The corn reserves on
farms March LIST last year were only
$3.50 of the total crop, or 1882, 900
bushels. The per cent of the 1921
crop which was merchantable is very
high this year, 800 compared to
1870 one year ago. The reason given
in the report is because practically
all of the 1921 crop matured and,
therefore, could be classed as mer-
charitable corn.
