Stacks of corn remaining on farms April 1 were estimated by the USDA at 1,816 million bushels, 8 percent more than the year before. Farmers are using more corn this year than they used in 1958, because they have been feeding more hogs, beef cattle and ^poultry. The long, cold winter also increased feed requirements. They will continue to use a large amount of corn, because they are still increasing the production of pork, beef and poultry. At the end of Feb. 23 percent of the April 1 farm stocks was under price support. A year before, 22 percent was under price support. OATS.
