This is because of the j drouth last summer in Iowa, Ne- j braska and South Dakota. ' ( In mid-Jaijuary, corn prices were about 5 cents higher in Omaha, Nebr., than in Chicago. A year ago prices were about 10 cents lower in Omaha than in Chicago. Similarly, recent corn prices were Id to 12 cents higher $in Kansas City than in Chicago, while a year ago they were a little lower. Ffccent prices for corn in Illinois were around $1.15 to $1.20 a bushel, compared with $1.40 to $1.45 a year ago. The lower prices are mainly the result of (1) a larger supply of corn and (2) reduced demand because of lower prices for hogs. «a The prospect for future price ™ trends is normal -- meaning uncertain. Stocks f of corn on farms Jan. 1 - totaled 2,191 million bushels, up 7 per cent fronr a year ago. At the same time, Uncle Sam had 745' million bushels, 25 per cent more than last year. Large farm supplies of other feed grains also are bearing down on corn prices. On Jan. 1, farmers had 981 million bushels of oats, 7vper cent more than the year before and the most in 30 years. Barley stocks were estimated at 190 million bushels, up 27 per cent from last year and the largest in 13 years. Supplies of sorghum grains were reported at 68 million bushels, 24 per cent more than the year before and the largest in five years. Total farm stocks of the four feed grains were figured at 83.5 million ^ons, 6 per cent more than last year. The stockpile of feed grains on farms Jan. 1 was*the second largest on record, being topped only by stocks at the beginning of 1950. When off-farm stocks are included, the total feed grain supply exceeds even the previous record supply of five years ago. Two big questions in the corn market are: How much 1955 corn wjll farmers put under price support? How much governmentowned corn from previous crops will be sold? Farmers put only 259 million bushels of 1954 corn, or about 9 per cent of the crop, uncjler price support. Estimates for 1955 corn to be put under loan range from 3.50 to 500 iplllion bushels. If it is near the larger amount, market supplies might be very scarce by Aug. 1. In the year ending last Oct. 1, the government sold about 150 million bushels of corn, or nearly 3 million biishels a week. Now government 'policy seems to be to restrict sales as much as possible. But government stocks apparently include over 100 million bushels that will be at least three years old by next fall. Some of this corn, and probably some that is not so old, may have to be sold before the end of this marketing . year. If only small amounts are sold, it will help to tighten up the market supply. Export demand for feed grains is strong. Aboijt 53 million bushels of corn were shipped from July 1 through, November, or more than double the amount in the same months a year before. Total exports may be around 110 million bushels this year compared with 77 million "last year. In recent years most of the corn that has been exported has come from government stocks rather than directly from farmers' cribs. Available figures suggest that the carry-over of dim next Oct. 1 will be at least 10 per cent greater than the 1,024 million bushels on hand last Oct. 1. Carryover stocks of other feed grains, too, seem likely to be larger next summer than they were in 1955. Many, a man fails because his train of thought is only a local. I Especially for 1 | Pet Owners .. | Puppies that have been immunized against distemper by the live virus and serum method do not become carriers of the disease, according to controlled studies. Uremia strikes dogs most often between the ages of six and ten years. Common symptoms include loss of appetite and. apparent weakness of the rear; legs. Veterinary authorities say *a cat is very much like a mule; it doesn't get sick very often, but when it does, it is q|iite often fatal. The early winter period .brings on an increase in the number of feline panleukopeniaJ. casds* • itmoqg cats and kittens, the 1 A*n^ricspi Veterinary Medical association reports. Vaccination of kittens at weaning time or shortly thereafter seems to be the. best preven? tive, . The only disease which produces the typical "blue eye" in dogs is infectious canine hepatitis. Sometimes only one eye is affected. However, by the time the cloudy eye is observed the worst phase of the disease usually has passed. " 'e True epilepsy does not occur in dogs, however "fits" which re>- semble this condition are repotted quite frequently. Because of their close contact with livestock, farm dog# can get brucellosis from infected , farip stock. It is possible that a brucella- infected dog can be a potential carrier of this disease. . The territory of Hawaii Reports that no case of rabies has ever been observed on the island. Rigid observance of regulations regarding the importation of animals is believed to account for the absence of the problem.
