CORN
Corn prices checked a minor
downward trend last week and
are expected to fllctuatc in a
one Or two cents range during
the next two or three months.
The long range outlook is for
small gradual seasonal Increase
until harvest time. March 30
may mark a price turning point.
That's the deadline for growers
to sign tip cor the 1862 corn
program. The government S
strategy seems to be 10 keep pri-
ceS near current levels to en-
courage a big sign-up.
To do this. it has been selling
corn Certificate corn'o from

storage whenever the pruce hits
$l.l4 or $l.l5. If c. c. c. sales
continue at their recent levels.
the government should have dis
posed Of all this certificate corn
by around March 30.
Thus some seasonal rise in
corn prices. delayed BY C.C.C.
sales. should occur some time
after the first of April.
If you have corn in safe
storage. it should pay you to hold
it until spring. If you need to
buy corn. you will probably
save money by making arrange
ments this month or next.
During the past month corn
prices have been dropp e d
about q cent a week. The trend
during the last three years has
been a slight increase during
February.
Cash corn finished in firm
position last week. Offerings
were fairly liberal and met good
demand. Some strength stem

which indicated increased dis
appearance by export and feed.
Last years production was
down seven per cent. but the
