Widened tt Include Corn

WASHINGTON, May .-R-
With American agricultural ex-
ports affected adversely by the
war. the agriculture department
today extended it's export subsidy
program to include corn in an eff
fort to regain foreign markets and
reduce mounting SURPRISES.
The department has been sub
sidizing exports of wheat during
the past two years and cotton dur
ing the past season.
Inasmuch as American corn now
is being quoted in foreign markets
from 20 to Is cents a bushel above
Argentine and other competitive
grain, little of the feed crop has
been moving abroad. The govern
ment price-supporting loan pro-
gram has held the American price

locals could have hoped for victory
in the contest even had they had
better accuracy on their shots.
