Should these intentions be carried out, and should yields equal to the average of the past ten years be obtained, a crop of about 2,935,000,000 bushels would be produced. This would be about 41 per cent larger than last year’s short crop and the largest crop since 1923. Increased acreage of other feed grains is also mien ied in 1931 and this, together v/itl) the present favorable prospects for the winter wheat crop is likely to result in a large production of other grains which will compete with corn.

Last year a fairly large acreage was grown but the yield was less than 85 bushels per acre, giv ing a production of 71,000,000 bushels compared with 85,000,000 bushels in 1929. The points of greatest interest in the tobacco outlook pert^^in to the flue-cured and burley types. The in tended decrease of 10 per cent in flue-cured acreage in 1931 compared with the acreage harvested in 1930 seems inadequate in view of the enormous production of last year, the slackened foreign and the stationary domestic demand, and the great in crease in stocks by next July that is certain to result from all these fac tors.
