in Spite flf Lbb6 of Over Four Hun

Cotton Planters of the South.
Washington, Nov. 10.—Important
farm crops of the United States this
year are worth- $5,068,742,000 or
$104,000,000 more than the value of
the same crops last year notwithatjrad-
ing a loss of $418,000,000 sustained
by cotton planters on liitl alone as a
result of the European war.
Preliminary estimates announced by
the Department of Agriculture and
statistics of' average, prices paid to
producers November 1, indicate that
this year's wheat and corn crop are
the most valuable grown in the Unit
ed States, that the wheat and apple
L-rops are record harvests and that
the potato crop is the second largest
ever raised.
The huge wheat crop and the in-
reased price of that cereal the large
corn and :»pple crops and the increas
ed price in cats, barley and rye more
than otfset the big loss on cotton.
