SOUTH DAKOTA CORN CROP
LEADS IOWA AND NEBRASKA

Sioux City-Several cars of new
1923 shelled corn have appeared on
the Sioux City market two months
ahead of the season according to NJ.
King, Sioux City elevator operator.
The corn, however, contains 20 per
cent moisture, whereas it should con
tain only about II per cent. New
corn for October delivery usually does
not appear until late in November or
early in December, it was stated.
Mr.. King recently returned from a
|370-mile tour of inspection of Iowa,
Nebraska and South Dakota corn
fields and reports that the largest
corn crop in the history of Sioux City
territory is now being harvested.
The crop this year, he asserts, will
exceed by 100, 000, 900 bushels any pre-
vious crop.
Corn conditions are better in South
Dakota than in Iowa or Nebraska and
tie South Dakota yield will average
from 30 to rs bushels an acre as
compared with IN average of "a bush
els last year, he said.
The Nebraska crop will exceed by
60, 900 900 bushels fast years yield.
Mr.. Kings reports show that Iowa
cornfields show Apprenticeship 20 per
cent barren stalks ana he estimated
that % per cent of the ears in Sioux
City territory are mOuldy and unfit
to move in a commercial way and
will have to be fed on the farms.
Grain Dealers generally look for a
forced decline in prices for a while.
but predict that corn will sell as high
as Chicago wheat at several times
during the mex IL months.
Farm rdsepves of !corn are now
placed at $4,000, 900 against 7S,000.-
900 reported a year ago with practi-
.cally no exporting being done.
