HOPE TO GAIN BY DROUGHT
AMES, Iowa
(P).--The drought
has been bad for Iowa grain farmers and good for Iowa livestock
producers, an Iowa State college
survey shows.
Although Iowa's corn crop is 20
per cent short, benefits normally
to be expected are removed by the
crops distribution and the effect of
the prices of wheat on prices of
all feed grains.
Feed shortage is not so marked
in Iowa as elsewhere with the result that the state expects to raise
its normal amount of hogs and cattle for the better prices anticipated next year.
