North of Lafayette as far as Reynolds and extending through Benton, White and Carroll counties, there are thousands of acres that only produced from 12 to 18 bushels and many farmers in that section, who are living on $75 land, did not raise enough com to winter over the farm stock. The elevators are practically out of business there, and aooording to one elevator owner, in the heart of that distriot, not an elevator will operate there without loss this year.
