Corn Put Back on
Export List After Ban

The government has put corn
back on the export list after a
year-long ban.
It did so because of this
year's record crop of 3,500,
000,000 bushels more than
enough to meet this country's
own needs. Last year's crop was
a near failure.
The agriculture department
announced yesterday that it will
permit 19,000,000 bushels of the
grain to be exported during the
October-December quarter.
Most of it will go to Europe to
help revive meat and dairy in
dustries cut low by the war.
