 according to reports received from crop correspondents at the end of Jure, 1920.

 Dnion requires for its own consumption^something like 9,500,000 bags. The country has, 

 however, passed through a severe period of drought and it is not unlikely that the cons'ump- 

 tion of maize may be affected to some extent.
