Prospects For Good Crops
This Year Not Promising
Federal Report Shows That Prospects Are Poor And That There
Js A Decrease In The Acreage Of Majority Of
Crops Throughout The Country
CROP PROSPECTS ARE FAR FROM PROMISING
. Washington. July 11. ? Tiis- short
est corn crop in 26 years v as. indi
cated today by the .department or ag-.
ribilture in Its July crop report which,
forecast a production of 2.274.434.000
bushels'. The figure is almost half
a Million bushels below the average!
production of the last Ave years.
"Crop prospects .is a whole are i/t i
irom promising" was the comment of i
the crop reposing board in its re
view of conditions. While it i> rtill
too early to forecast accurately the
production of - late sown crops, the i
present outlook" is for a Very sh^i; i
crop ot' fruits, for a material redu'ct 1
?ion in the production of tobacco: 1
for about average production .of po- ?
tatoes. wheat, sugar beets, flaxseed.;
and feed grains other than corn: lor :
rather large crops of hearts. poaftuts
rind sweet -'potatoes, and for a record'
production of hay, ' Crop prospects!
are fairly good in the western . states I
but very unpromising in the eastern |
part of the corn belt.
? The area in crops this season
shows a reduction of around, even

Large shafts in the relative .aver- ?
age of the various crops were noted
by the board, the. largest being the
six million acre decrease in . cotton,
the two million acre decrease. Ln com
and the two million acre .increase in
wheat. r
Low corn prices' in 1925. together '
with unfavorable planting conditions
were held responsible for a decline'
of more than Ave per cent in acreage i
in north central state*, which was
partially, offset by increase corn
planting in the south. The corn crop ;
was reported late in nearly every state i
while in some of the most northern 1
states due to late - .planting* ,oniy a ?
1 Ions? growing season. it was ^ld,
I would, avert., danger of front damage.
.This year's indicated . total wheat
crop was placed, at 353 643.000 bush?

tit-ely I r.v , i)?in?' 27.339 000 bushels,
compared with the five year average
of 29.9J3.090 bushels.
An \ 1 per c?nt increase in the
. white potato ae^age was noted. With
all iftte potatoes states showing in
^reaoes.' and a total crop of 353 .OOO.OOO
bushels were indicated That Is 37 -
