A corn crop of o,013,390,900 bushels, onefifth larger than that of last year and the sixth in the nation's his: lory, exceeding the three billion bush el mark, was announced today by the department ot agriculture in its No, vember picliminary survey. Iowa, the premier cprti producing state, has surpassed all its previous records with an indicated productio no! 477~ .186,000 bushcis. "With the progress of harvesting I the late crops, yields have been ! found to be substantially better than . was expected earlier in the season," the crop reporting board found. "The j final harvest of several late crops such as potatoes, cotton and corn, is still partially dependant upon the ! weather conditions, but from the present indications, yield per acre of "'all crops combined will be only 0.48 e .k.. ......... ;?i.i f.? the last ten years. A month ago j yields were expected to fall 3.9 pen cent below the ten year average. The board's report disclosed that the bulk of the corn crop throughout the country matured without frbst damage and the quality is somewhat above average. Conditions in the tobacco growing regions of \ irginia, Kentucky, and , Tennessee, in particular have been I unfavorable, the board said. In Vir^ ginia the quality is the lowest in several years. Kentucky is low in yield ^ but has much tobacco of good color texture and body, lacking only in -i/.c. The crop in Kentucky was <b -erihed nui"t!j <?f good and low grades, with relatively little mejtUum. The yield for he statement was pla ig cod at 780 pounds per acre, coinP j pared with 8C& the ton year average. Tennessee yields arc- lower than usual, estimated at 700 pounds for the ?e . . ... ^ , state; the seat is small in sixe generally good in quality, though thin, ithe board found. The fut-cured tobacco crop ^ * I good quality in North Carolina, but i - low in? Virginia, South Carolina, and I Georgia. The yield and quality in | Florida are up to expectation?, Imt| provcment in the leaf delivered to ^ market in October, together with i e ;ui improvement in the export <!i-; mand for this type, has raised the price paid growers, according to the P ; board. N'orth Carolina averaged <150 ! pounds to the acre, Virginia 580, ^ South Carolina 7 10 pounds, and Gcor a I 4'a 71 pounds. Although the acreage of sweet potatoes was larger than ever before except ir, 1921 and 1922, the yield :>'. ? acre of 80 bushels is consider*!^ bly below the average on account of the drought. ^ Peanut yields are proving heavier ^ than expected, hut the proportion u of the acrca?e that is being harves.> ted for nuts this season is much less > - . . than last year, the total crop being n placed at 586,590,000 pounds. kjv or 30,000 pounds less than last year, etl Peaitat pioduction in Virginia and C(, North Carolina is about 80,000.000 tat P?on^s greater than the small crop l0 in that area last year. en j In the Georgia-Alabama-Florida area the crop of 182 million pounds is about. 100,000,000 pounds less than last. year.
