CORN LOAN RATE
Of 81 CENTS SEEN
Maximum Level Forecast
After Issuance of Crop
Estimate.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A Government forecast that the
American corn crop would total
2,459,316,000 bushels this year prompt
ed officials to say yesterday that
the Government loan rate to growers
was virtually sure to be 81 cents
bushel
Such a rate would be the maxi
mum permitted under the crop con-
troll law, which provides for price
bolstering loans to farmers. The 6l-
cent figure would be 4 cents more
than the rate the department indi-
Gated several weeks ago it was pre-
pared to establish.
The crop law authorizes the depart
ment to provide loan at IS per
cent of the parity" price of corn
the price goal set up by Congress
if the average farm price on Novem-
ber Is is below that figure and the
November crop report indicates a pro-
duction of less than .717000, 900
bushels. Officials said it was unlikely
the November report would raise the
estimate to the latter figure or that
prices would rise above the mandatory
loan level.
Parity Price Now 81.
The parity price now is 81 cents
and the farm price 48 cents a bushel
officials said Loans are being made
on 1887 corn at the rate of 81 cents
bushel.
The corn crop forecast yesterday by
the Federal Crop Reporting Board
was about per cent less than last
years harvest of 2,644,995, 900 bushels,
but 7 per cent larger than the 1927
1886 average of 2,306. .l57, 900.
The board said the quality Of. the
crop was reported to be generally good.
A per acre yield of 26.7 bushels was
indicated. compared with 282 last
year and 22s for the l0-year average.
Big Wheat Crop Reported.
The board estimated the wheat crop
at 940,229o00 bushels, the third
largest on record 1t contrasted with
873 ,993, 900 bushels last year and 1872
891 900 for the l0-year average. The
estimate was divided as follows among
types: Winter. 688.458.000; durum
41.6l00O0, and other spring. 2l0,16l,-
600. The durum estimate compared
with last years yield of 27,79l 900
bushels and 40O85,O for the l0-year
average. The production of other
spring wheat last year was l61 100000
and for the 1o-year average 166, 100000
The board reported stocks of old
corn on farms October l, at 352, ,134, 900
bushels, the largest for that date in
the I3 years that such estimates have
been made. Stocks last year were only
60.57l 900 bushels. Wheat stocks were
estimated at 4o6, 9S9, 900 bushels COM
pared with 326,5O3, 900 last year.
