Yes, it pays to raise corn from the general standpoint of the corn pro- ducer. It pays to raise corn asa feed crop to be fed out on the farm to the farm animals. Sometimes, but not always, it pays to raise corn to be fed out to the feed yard animals, bought in the stocker markets of the country, to be finished for the beef, pork and mutton supply. Itdoes not, however, follow that the marketing of the corn crop through the feed yard always pays. There are many contingencies entering into the feeding of live stock for the fat market that influence for or against a profitable sale of the feed used in this way. The feeding of live stock in_the sense of fattening for their slaughter is more or less speculative. The fluc- tuations in prices of meat-producing animals are beyond the control of the producer and cannot be governed at all times; in fact, it is scarcely reason- able to suggest that the feeder can exert any influence over the market that will result in hisincreasing prices or holding prices up. It paysalsa to raise corn for the elevator trade, for the commercial markets of the country. Of course, this takes the product off the farm, but not any more so than in oats, wheat, rye, barley and other grain or seed crops. The wheat is always sold off the farm, the straw left; the corn is sold and the stalks left, and yet in this act no one has accused. the farmer of insanity, because he did not feed his wheat on the farm in place of selling it to the grain trade. It is the diversified uses to which corn can be put that has popularized itasafarmcrop. The farmer, when he plans to plant his corn acreageeach spring, does not necessarily have to decide beforehand how he is going to He knows that he has a it is matured and in the crib. It is easily stored and may be carried over winter without any special danger of damage. Itisa crop of many uses and demands. There is no other crop that equals it in this respect. In - @commercial and manufacturing sense itis needed by the millions, the dis- tillers, the manufacturers of food and feed products of every conceivable kind. The low grade and damaged grain is used for the manufacture of denatured alcohol. ere is practi- cally no loss in the commercial crop by lack of condition. Its greatest value, however, is to the breeder of cattle, where the fertility is kept on the farm and there is no chance of loss in the gamble of buying high- priced feeders and then selling the finished cattle at a low price.
