Need for corn low in face of imports and hog shortages
The article notes Belgium waives charges on Argentine corn in transit, allowing three bushels milled for 50 cents versus 50 cents tariff on two bushels shelled. It questions how long current prices can hold with ongoing imports. Secretary Wallace sees imports without alarm, as livestock drought reduces hogs and cattle. The Crop Reporting Board cites 20,000,000 fewer hogs and large declines in cattle, sheep, and milk cows, implying importation may keep corn and hog prices down despite expected food-cost rises.
