Agrees May
Have Overesti
mated Corn Crop
Crop Statistician Andersons Says
Tendency Prevalent in Re
ports Coming to Him.
State and Federal Crop Statistician
Anderson said Nebraska's 1935 corn
crop is not a factor in the market,
because most of it will be used for
home consumption.
In response to a report in Chicago
that the state's corn crop had been
over estimated by 25 million bushels,
Anderson said it was entirely possible
since a tendency to over estimate had
been noted in all the reports coming
before him this year.
He also said the overestimating
might be due to the fact the corn
was extremely moist this year as
high as 25 to 35 percent causing
the corn crop to look bigger than it
really was.
The Chicago report said "feel sure
there will not be over 25 million to
tal of merchantable corn that is No
4 or better." Anderson said he did
not know what the word "merchant
able" meant and explained that a lot
of corn might be sold by one farmer
to another within the state, which
might cr might not be called mer
chantable corn.
Anderson's November corn esti
mate was 120,568,000 bushels, which
is about half of normal. Most of
that corn, he said, would be led
within the. confines of the state and
would not go on the market at all.
