BARTER SYSTEM

| APPEARS AGAIN

Nylons, New Cars Offered For Hard-to-Get Corn.

about a brand new car? If you have a couple of carloads of corn—the kind that’s used for flour—it's all yours! ‘Corn is so scarce in Indiana and Illinois that a lot of trading is going back to the barter basis, Indianapolis dealers report. But the barter isn't a flat article for article trade. The hard-to-get grains are paid for and other articles are thrown in as a reward. : Nylons for Corn To get down to cases—a would be corn buyer has offered five pairs of nylons to anyone selling him a ocarload of corn. Others are offering to sell 200 pounds of sugar—which is getting into the black market field—for the right to buy a car of corn. Another dealer is offering to sell a car of corn for the privilege of buying a lot of cedar fence posts. Still others are offering to sell corn for soybean meal—which is used "in making feeds and is even harder to get than corn,

buyer offered a 1946 Ford, ChevroJet or Plymouth for 50 cars of corn. An Indianapolis grain dealer reports that although wheat and soybean meal are scarce, corn has virtually dropped from the local market. Some is being held by farmers in hopes that the government ceiling will be raised. Because of cold, snow and mud, an estimated 15 per cent is still unharvested in the flelds. And a lot of it is going into the black market via out-of-state truckers who pay local farmers ceiling prices for undergrade grain and ‘then transport it back to their home states—he mentioned Kentucky, Tennessee, Michigan and Missouri—to sell at over-ceiling rates. Situation Aggravated This situation has been aggravated by the meat packers’ strike, the dealer said. The farmer who is unable to sell his livestock is willing to pay almost any price to get feed to keep it from starving. A local grain receiver believes that wheat and corn are scarce for several reasons, Much of the crops were sold to mills immediately after harvest, he said. The U. 8. bought huge quantities to meet the tremendous export demands. A considerable quantity is being held for higher prices. “And,” he adds, “a lot of the grain that would make bread has gone into whisky.” Mills throughout the country;are feeling the pinch. Large mills that contracted for grain ahead of time expect to eke out the winter. But many smaller concerns ¢hat depend on local suppliers have already closed down. Quality is generally reported hold‘ing up well, but many mills are finding it necessary to discontinue special-purpose flours such as cake flour, pancake and other self-rising flours, and biscuit mixes.

SPEAKER PREDICTS

Television will be a commercial reality in Indianapolis and throughout the United States within a year, Joseph Geri, president of the Sonora Radio & Television Corp. of Chicago, told Indianapolis Kiwanis club members at a noon luncheon here today. “Within the next five years television will revolutionize home entertainment,” he said. “It will provide a. livelihood for about 32,500,000 people engaged in manufacturing, distributing, selling, servicing television sets and broadcasting television shows.” Mr. Gerl pointed out that television will bring into the home every form of soap opera, children’s western stories, sport broadcasts and musical comedy shows in a form far more dramatic and personal than ever before. “About 50 per cent of the television shows will be motion pictures, travelogs and films of distant news and sports events,” he said, “thereby offering to the entire family a wholesome combination of entertainment and education.
