IN CORN When the Chicago Board of Trade suspended trading in September corn the market price was $1.10 per bushel al- about 84 cents a bushel. What happened? It seems that there were contracts calling for the delivery of | 16,000,000 bushels of corn, the new crop | was not available and there was only 600,000 bushels. of old corn, available for | the carrying outof the ¢onthacts? This was a. “‘cofier’” atid the Board | west Foundation Company has ® Moon rises fixed an arbitrary (price fpr the settlement of the contracts. Farmers may wonder why there ‘was such a difference between September ard October prices. The answer is that last) year the corn crop was 1,529,000,000 bushels, one of the smallest in our time. This year the crop is expected to total 2,- 549,000,000 bushels, the largest since 1932. FOREIGN JUNK Dr. Nichollas Murray Butler, president of Columbia University, for many years an intellectual power in the United States, seems to be making progress with the French. In 1906, Dr. Butler was named an of- ficer of thé Legion of Honory«' aie French national order. In 1912, he became Com- mander; in 1921, a Grand Officer, and his latest promotion is the award of the Grand Cross. There may be many Americans who have a liking for the decorations of foreign governments, but, as far as’ we are con- cerned, they are a lot of junk. SIDELIGH TS By MARCY B.
