NEW YORK, Aug. 5.-The

part but they were we'll distrib-

several issues along. Pepsi-Cola

announcement that directors had

increased dividend.

Bumper Corn Crop
Promises 10 Exceed
1948 A||-Time High
by the Associated Press

CHICAGO, Aug. Sin the Mid
west, corn is busting out all over.
Another national crop in excess
of three billion bushels-the
fourth in history-appears as
sured. There is a good possibility
the crop will set an all-time record
for the second year in a row.
Some sections Of the country
have poorer prospects than year
notably the Northeastern
States, where long spring
drought dried up moisture reserve
in the soil. But the crop is in
splendid condition in the main
midwestern producing belt.
Latest estimates on the crop
range from 3,560,oo0,00o bushels,
made by c. M. Calvin of the grain
firm of James E. Bennett & Co..
to 100000 bushels, made by
H. J. Gramlich, general agricul-
tural agent of the Chicago and
North Western Railway.
Calvin says that with ideal
weather the remainder Of the
season, it is entirely possible that
a new record production could be
established"
Last years record crop totaled
$3.50, ,480, 900 bushels.
The Nation already has more
corn left from previous years
than ever before. On July l
there were 1.239,444,000 bushels
Of old corn still left on farms
just about three times as much
as a year earlier. The new crop
thus raises a big problem: Where
will it be stored?
Germ must be stored if farmers
are to get a Government price
support loan. The loan has not
been announced yet, but on the
basis of present parity prices grain
men estimate it will be about $l.54
a bushel at Chicago.
Support Program Affected.
December corn futures on the
Chicago Board Of Trade are selling
nearly 40 cents a bushel under
this figure. That price is a clear
indication grain traders believe
the corn support program, which
totttered last winter, will fall
apart next winter.
Traders explained, however
that such a price might make it
profitable for farmers to build bins
for storage. They reasoned it
would cost less to build the bins,
and get Government loans on the
grain, than to send the grain to
market at price 40 cents under
the loan.
The Agriculture department is
expected to send out bulletins to
farmers and to stage county
demonstrations urging them to
build such bins.
