Corn Prices Flat Near 1958 Levels for 1959 Crop
Michigan State economist John Morris says 1959 corn prices will stay about as high as 1958 with a drop below 1 dollar per bushel at harvest and a possible 1.15 dollars next summer in southern Michigan. He notes carryover of feed grains and CCC holdings, predicts continued feed usage, and warns of potential hog production cuts by 1961 amid a growing population and rising acres.

You Gotta Show Moths Who's Boss
Michigan State University specialist Ber netta Kahabka advises thorough cleaning to combat moths. She recommends vacuuming closets shelves and storage boxes to remove lint dirt and eggs then burning the vacuum bag contents. Then spray storage areas with a 3 to 5 percent DDT solution and seal cracks to prevent reinfestation.
