Not less than ?25,000,000 is the
estimate of the loss entailed upon
the farmers of Nebraska this year
by their tailure to care for their
corn todder, made by Dr. W. A.
Thomas, state veterinarian. Dr
Thomas accepts the declaration
of the experiment station experts
that the fodder is worth one-third
or one-half of the market value of
the grain. Placing the corn crop
of the state this year at 225,000,000
bushels, it is easy to Bee that tne
estimate of 525,000,000 for the loss
of the todder ia not so far out of
the way, wild as itrniay seem at the
first glance. More than that, Dr.
Thomas insists that with a proper
curing and care of tie todder the
corn stalk disease would disappear.
