KNOW AN OFFICE BOYS DREAM FOR THE COMING YEAR AlGmi t*r-- Fanners' Outlook Corn Market a Reported Slow i Prices of co; n seem likely to « work to H moderately higher level in the next several months. The supply outside of government hands may be a bit short of market needs, but the government has been selling corn a,nd seems likely to continue to sell. While most sales of grain, whether by the government or by private concerns, will be made at the "market price/' each sale will have some influence on .. prices. Government sales seem likely to be an important factor in limiting price increases in. the months ahead. Price Differences. A year ago prices of No. 3 to No. 5 yellow corn at Chicago ranged from $1.50 to $1.58 a bushel, compared with $1.36 Co $1.50 recently. While cash corn has been selling 8 to 14 cents lower than last year, futures have been priced as high as they were the year before, aftd even higher. The December future was priced around $1.56, the same as last year, while July corn was galling for; $1.63, up 5 cents frofil fhe corresponding 1953 level. The lower level of cash corn prices this . year reflects some changes and peculiarities in the recent market situation. in 1953 most of the corn beltP1iad a gopd crop. The corn harvest was early, the quality was very good, and there was an early movement to market.

PHONE 40 McHenry, Ul. southern Illinois, being boosted by demands from Missouri and other drouth areas in the south and southwest. In the northern part of Illinois, prices have been depressed by heavy yields on a large. acreage. Large Feed Supply. The total supply of feed concentrates for tliis feeding year is estimated at 179 million tons, up 4 per cent from a year ago. This increase is about in step with the increase in livestock numbers. The 1954 corn crop was estimated (in November) at 2,939 million bushels, 8 per Cent short of the 1953 output. The increase in feed grain supplies this year comes from larger crops of barley, oats, and scrghum grain and from the larger carryover of old corn. Exports. Export demand for corn was slower this fall than in 1953, and it appears that the government may use its stocks to meet much of the foreign demand for corn this year. Most European countries had short feed crops, but Argentina now is able to expbrt much more corn than she did a year ago. Price Patterns. The price of corn has increased from November to Decanbei in each of the past seven years, the average increase being 9 cents a bushel. These increases may have led many farmers to look to December as the spot to sell their corn. Over the past forty-six years the price 01 corn has declined from JgTpvembei*. tp I^eceftiber half fts often as it h&s increased, however, this does not appear to be a year for a price because the supply of iWat$etable corn is not large, hog? numbers are increasing and bOisiiiess prospects are improving, • .JPK Costs. Costg of holding^ "corn on the farm will average "$Mh*nd 3 cents a oushel for three months, 8 cents for six months, and 10 cents fbr nine months. If a chaige is made for the _crib, costs will be about 10 cents a bushel higher. There appears to be a reasonably good chance to make a little more than out-ofpocket cost by holding corn for a higher price. and your TREATING SERIOUS BURNS By Science Features When investigators checked inltto the causes of death in mass Are disasters ten years ago they found that very few people with severe burns on one-third or more of their bodies survived. Today, after major research projects have developed new medical - approaches to the problem, 75 per cent of those suffering from serious second- and third-degree bums do live. Of the new treatments now being practiced, replacement of fluids and other essential elements lost by the body is very important. Plasma or whole blood and salt solutions--often 12 to 20 pintsare administered during the first 24 hours of care, the amount ef fluid depending on the extent of the injury and the size of the patient. Vitamins are . lost when the body secretes fluids and interference in absorption takes place. Doctors remedy this by supplying concentrated vitamin compounds such as ASF, the anti- : stress formula designed for emergencies. " The bandages and heavy oint~ ments once administered to burned areas have given way to the new "exposure" treatment. This method relies only on natural fluid that the body exudes to cover the wound. To prevent infection of the uncovered burn--infection is still the major cause of death in extensive burns--antibiotics such as penicillin and terramycin are given in large, doses. omrxMs With., cheerful.
