CORN PLANTS


corn direct from the Valley grower
70 the mills. valley corn, since It Is
new, Is desired by the mills as the
first new corn Of the season for
mixing with old corn In making
cornmeal and other products. Miller
pointed out.
This results IN a premium being
paid bv the mills.
Furthermore, II Is possible 20
move corn from Port Isabel 10 con-
Stunning points IN the nation at
smaller cost than corn can be
moved from iowa and other Middle
West states TO these same points.
even though they are much farther
from the Valley, Miller explained.
eThese conditions will result In
continued better prices to the VAL
ley. In his opinion.
The Oritani left Port Isabel sun
day with 10000 bushels Of VALLEY
corn. II viii make two more trips,
Miller said. bringing the total 70
about 600. 1000 bushels by water and
10000 BY rcii. An estimated $50, 700
bushels went into storage, or was
used IN other ways.
The Valley corn acreage was esti-
mated this year at 10000.
IL Is considered likely, In view
OF Mlller's plans now 70 double the

that the acreage viii jump TO $4,000
or even 60.0O1 the coming season.
IN this event. and with prices as
