Good American corn - the
grain, not the stuff in the bottles
lis the most politically danger
Gus issue and the most economi-
cally dangerous farm product on
the scene today, and it's in
something of mess. Loss of the
battle of corn in the next few
months could be as disastrous as
loss of the Aleutians.
The problem is complicated
by the fact that corn is not just
corn. 1t is hogs. it is dairy prod
ducts. it is poultry, il is food
for human consumption, it is in
dustrial starch, it is cornsweet-
eners, industrial alcohol, syn
thetic rubber, textiles, paper
all of them articles of war. Corn
is therefore Public Cereal No. l,
and of major interest to the best
minds both in and out Of Wash
ington, including particularly
the War Food Administration
and the Office Of Price Admin
istration who are in fact sitting
up nights worrying what 10 do
about it.
The situation is briefly this:
Corn prices are frozen under
an OPA ceiling. The price to the
farmer in the corn belt is APP
proximately 81 bushel, as corn.
If, however, the farmer chooses
to feed that corn to pigs, he can
get Sl,35 buShel for the corn in
the form of pork.
The reason for this is that the
government guaranteed ( loo r
price for hogs is Sl3.75 per 100
pounds. Actually, it is closer Ia
Sl4.50 and has been as high as
$3.50. The price has been per-
mitted to stay high 10 increase
pork production.
HOGS HOG THE CORN
The effect of this ceiling on
corn prices and floor under hog
prices has been to increase the
hog population of the United
States from around 104 million
head as of year ago to nearly
120 million head as of today, and
this tremendous hog population
is threatening TO eat up all the

corn in sight--not only all OF the
holdover from last year. but all
of this years crop as we'll, plus
a certain amount of wheat and
other feed grains TO boot. Even
tually, that might even affect the
production of wheat flour and
the supply of bread.
Sooner than that il might
force shutdown of corn prod
ucts plants making industrial
alcohol and starch and such
things, because they can pay
only 81 a bushel, while the hogs,
in competition, can pay Sl.35.
The hog is therefore now
eating the country into some
thing approaching a national
disaster. and its effects will be
widespread.
A large part of the poultry
and dairy products are raised in
areas which don't produce feed.
Corn isn't coming into these
areas because the price is frozen
at 81 TO the farmer. The dairy
men and poultry raisers must
therefore buy other feeds at
higher prices, and up goes the
cost OF butter and eggs
There is one relatively bright
spot here in that as of July |,
l943, there will be an estimated
carryover of some $50 million
bushels of wheat. But if that is
drawn on freely for livestock
feed. il can be reduced to $50
million bushels in the next year,
and could easily become def
cit.
DYNAMITE IN HUSKS
Industrial alcohol will take
100 million bushels of corn.
other corn products like starches
will take 1870 million, corn mill
ing and cereals 100 million. That

shells or about Is per cent of the

ter billion bushels available up

SO WHAT
The alternatives which the

manipulators faced were

on corn.
2, Lower the price on hogs.
3. Or both.
4. Or figure out subsidy that
in some mysterious way would
keep corn down and hogs up. at
the same time giving the farm

while making porkchops cheap
