WHITE CORN PRODUCTION In Ohio Must Be Increased, Message Prom Haskell Says. Special dispatch to The Enquirer. Columbus. O., May 2 Urgent request for the raising of more white corn in Ohio was contained in a telegraphic appeal received today by Secretary Dean, of the agricultural extension department of the Ohio State University, from Harry L. Haskell, of Toledo, Secretary of the National Association of White Corn Millers. This communication asked that the department draw the attention of the Ohio corn growers to the necessity for more white corn production this year because of the demand that will come for flour, grits and hominy to eke out the deficient supply of wheat for this and foreign countries. It was pointed out on the material side that the white corn would command a far higher relative price than yellow corn, and that a common benefit would accrue from giving heed to the appeal.
