SURPLUS OF GRAIN

Corn Crop Damage Was Less
Than Forecast, Stats.
tics Show.
BY OWEN L. SCOTT.

Special Dispatch to The star.
CHICAGO. November iS.-A statis-
tical appraisal Of the effect Of last SUM
mer's drought afforded by the present
Government estimate on corn yields.
suggests damage less devastating than
reports indicated at the time.
While the corn crop Is the smallest
since 1901, at 2,094, 000, 900 bushels. COM
pared with 14,307,000 a year ago Il
is nearly 100, 900, 900 bushels larger than
preliminary estimates and il OF higher
than average quality. The survey shows
TOO that the most severe damage oc-
CURED In less important corn-growing
States. Since other grains were not af-
fected to any extent, the economic con.
sequences would seem to fall short Of
the proportions OF national calamity.
Corn Price Decline.
A reflection OF this changed outlook IS
afforded by the price of corn. which has
fallen in recent weeks to new low for
the year-over 80 cents under the top
established when the drought scare was
at its height.
This indicates a trade belief that
there will be more than enough grain
to go around. Wheat is q drug on the
world markets, with authorities esti-
mating that $50, 100000 bushels win be
led to live stock In place OF corn.
substitution Of wheat has hurt the
corn market without being of any helm
to the wheat market" observed James
e, Bennett, trade authority. "The
amount that can be substituted in the
pig world wheat crop is just q drop In
Ihe bucket, whereas in view Of the fact
That usually not more than is to 90 per
cent Of the corn crop leaves the farm.
TINS taking away the corn market Is
detrimental to corn prices and of con-
siderable damage to the producer"
During the height of the drought
agitation. States in the corn belt were
expecGing little more than half crop.
xet the Government report now shows
mat Iowa, the largest producer, will
nave yield OF 360,750,000 bushels,
compared with AIT, ,999. the flve.year
average. Illinois, next in line. has s
23l GOO, 000-bushel crop, compared with
526, 69l 900, the f1ve-year average. Me-
praska actually has a larger Weld than
average, with 235, 492 900, compared
with 2l4,SS1,000 bushels.
Large Planting Planned.
The prospect of the lowest prices in
more than quarter of a century. have
not deferred farmers from preparing
TO plant another huge acreage to Winter
wheat. The Farm Board campaign for
q reduced acreage very obviously has
tailed, with estimates that Wintar
wheat planting was reduced only about
per cent compared with year ago,
and that largely because Of soil condi-
tons which made preparation of the
ground for planting most difficult.
Weather. however, is q much more po-
tent factor than acreage in determine
ing yield, and the weather man win
have to say whether the country wear
from now Is to be burdened with an
increased surplus Of grains.

RECORD BUSINESS YEAR
SEEN AT PATENT OFFICE

BY the Associated Press
Ten months receipts for this year in
dicates the biggest year in the history
of the Patent Office.
Last year was the previous peak, but
1880, up to November /, has seen nearly
500 more patent applications than in
the corresponding period of last year,
amounting to 1898. During the same
period there has been an increase OF
more than 1900 applications for trade
marks, and slight falling of of ap-
plications for design patents"
The office is making good use of the
additional examiners provided by the
last Congress, as may be seen from the
fact that during the last six weeks the
number OF applications awaiting action
has been decreased by over 5000. Spe-
ctal attention is being given to those
divisions further in arrears so as to re-
duce the maximum period cases.

STRENGTHENING OF COMMODITY
PRICES HELD VITAL TO TRADE
Decline In Values of Raw Materials Affects
Wages, Real Estate and General
Business Conditions.

has been necessary "to get prices
down." then something will have
been accomplished when deflation Is
ended. Business can go ahead on an
even keel. But let's look into this ar
gument little.
1t is evident that If commodity prices
are to remain at their present level the
price OF real estate must fall, and with
1t rent. The latter Is usually fixed on
a longtime basis. It Is certainly a
great injustice to q lessee that he must
now pay rentals in money which Is
worth is per cent more in purchasing
power than at the time when he signed,
one year ago. That injustice must
continue for years.
The United States Government has
properly displayed great interest in
the welfare of the farmer. But whole
set OF new adverse conditions is being
created for the farmer by the dropping
price level. If the general level IS not
to be restored to the stabilized level of,
say, 1922 to 1928, the farmer faces more
serious problems than ever before. The
value of farm land will fall-again and
the weight of the mortgages, already
very heavy, will be still harder to bear.
It's poor prospect.
Industrial Situation.
Turn to the industrial situation. Take
companies employing large amount Of
labor. 1t is apparent that these COM
panies cannot again earn normal profits
until the wage level has been adjusted
in line with the recent drop in general
prices. But it is plain that such a
movement could only be brought about
by long period of depression and UNI
employment, with shutouts, strikes and
violence.
Once more, let us take up the argu-
ment Of imitation. Critics Of this liberal
banking policy will say that it Is moth
ing but policy Of pure imitation which
viii lead to the same serious conse-
quences and adjustments in the price
level as We have been seeing. Nothing
Is further from the truth. What is re-.
quired now is stability, and the present
price level represents q departure from
that stability. It is much easier and
less waSteful to restore the former level
OF commodity prices than it is to re-
adjust real estate values, rents and
wages to q lower level.
Then, II the world price level repre-
sents an abnormal condition, why
should not that condition be brought
back to normal? Why should the
charge Of imitation be raised against
those who believe that the stability of
a year and half ago is far superior to
the disorganized condition of today?

eral of this Dominion, most Of them
very able men and some highly distin-
guished. 1t is too early to fix Lord
Willingdon's place in British history,
but is apparent that none of his prede-
cessors left with the intimate knowledge
of Canada and its people that he
possesses.
Few Canadians, in fact, know their
own country as well as do both Viscount
and Lady Wilmington. They have
travelled extensively and they have given
more than casual study to national
problems and social conditions. They
have sought to learn the dominating in
fiuences in the national scheme, the
thoughts and visions of the new lands
of the west.
They have spent months in Quebec
that they might have an adequate APP
probation of the peculiar place OF the
French province in a British Dominion.
There is barely town in the maritime
provinces or in Ontario to which they
have not taken their message of an
acquired but nonetheless whole-hearted
and enthusiastic Canadianism.
1t is no secret here that Viscount
Byng of Vimy, Willingdon's immediate
predecessor, may have the post again
If he so desires, as Premier r. B. Ben
nett would like him to return to Canada.
Viscount Byng, however, is unlikely to
resume the Office, which may go to the
Earl of Athlone, brother of Queen
Mary.
