Richmond Va August 23 The Virginia corn crop will be the shortest in ten years. Commissioner George W Koiner of the State Department of Agriculture and Immigration blamed the unusually late spring and adverse growing season weather. The USDA seed corn scarcity outlook is partly true for Virginia, as farmers report undeveloped fields and only a late frost can ensure production. All other crops in the state are ten days to two weeks late.
