ested in regard to their future corn
crop largely due to the supply Of old
corn being almost exhausted. Old

stores from S1.25 to $1.30 per bushel
and grain dealers of this section are
offering from 81 to $1.10 per bushel
for the supply Of new corn for No
vember and December delivery, this
corn to be delivered on the cob. Many
farmers claim that this will be very
profitable crop and are now selling
their future crops. Many fields q
corn are found to be barly broken II
places due to much Of the acreage:
being planted at different intervals
during the spring months on account
of the appearances of much insec'
which caused many farmers to replan
their acreage's over several times Il
an effort to get good stand. I'M
condition will work hardship on tn
farmers who intended to seed thei
corn acreages in wheat as the ripeninI
of the corn will be very un-regula
and many now look forward to no
getting this land seeded in wheat un
til the middle of November. The rec
ent rainy period has been Of great al
however to the farmers in getitnj

utilized for this purpose is now benz
worked for early seeding which shoul
take place about October l.
