 part of the month." 



BECOBD CROPS. 



They Mean Banner Business. 



The government crop report issued 

 September 9 holds forth assurances of 

 banner business for the season now 

 opening. The report shows that with 

 the single exception of soft winter 

 wheat, crops are of bumper proportions 

 in every section of the Mintry. The 

 moving of the big crops ff^m the farms 

 to the consumers is now the big ques- 

 tion, and complaints of car shortage are 

 coming from every quarter of the big 

 >?rain belts. Prosperity for the farmer 

 certainly means prosperity for the rail- 

 roads, and when these two, the coun- 

 try 's greatest industries, are prosperous, 

 all others, and certainly the florists, 

 have good business assured. 



The summary of the crop report, 

 with comparison with 3911, is as fol- 

 lows: 



Total yield 



1912 estimated. Final 1911. 



Wluter wbeat 390,000,000 431,000,000 



Spring wheat 300,000,000 191,000,000 



All wheat 690,000,000 621,000,000 



Corn 2,995,000,000 2,531,000,000 



Oats 1,290,000,000 922,000,000 



Barley 209,000,000 160,000,000 



Kye 35,000,000 33,000,000 



Buckwheat 18,000,000 18,000,000 



Flax 29,000,000 19,000,000 



Tobacco, pounds 976,000,000 905,000.000 



Potatoes 398,000,000 293,000,000 



Hay, tons 72,000,000 55,000,000 



The report is as of September 1. The 

 weather since that date has been ex- 

 tremely warm over the greater part of 

 the country and, while it has been un- 

 favorable for the business of the mo- 

 ment, it has been of material assistance 

 in finishing the crops ahead of the early 

 frosts. The condition of corn is much 

 l»etter today than it was September 1.
