A GREAT CORN CROP.
An Estimated Yield This Year
of 1900, 900, 900 Bushels.
An Increase of 54O,OoO,ooo Bush
els Over Last Year.

The Importance of the corn crop in its
affect upon the prosperity of the country is
often lost sight of in considering the value OF
our wheat crop. The fact is, says New
York paper, that the latter cuts but small
figure as compared with the former. The
relative value of corn or wheat per bushel il
now about so to 80 cents. The wheat
Weld this year may be roughly esti.
mated at APO, 900, 900 bushels, worth, say,
s37S, 900. 900. The yield of corn will prob
ably approximate 1900. .0O0. 900 bushels, worth,
saw. Si.OCO 600, 900. These figures show the
relative Importance of the two crops. Again,
it should be remembered that the average
weld of corn per acre is from twenty-five to
twenty-five bushels, while wheat averages
about twelve bushels At the prices which
have been ruling recently the value OF corn
per acre will average about S12, while wheat
will barely average S11 per acre.
Corn is therefore by tar more lmportapt
crop than wheat, and the excellent prospect
of q big corn crop this year is one OF the most
favorable features of the crop situation. Dur!
ing the past week there his been the same
favorable conditions affecting corn that have
been noticed for several weeks The Cincin-
matt Price Current says:
:'With sufficiency of moisture and season.
able conditions otherwise for a few weeks,
the crop may be confidently expected to equal
the production in 1885, or to exceed it; IN that
year the area was about $500, 900 acres less
than planted this season, according to lndi-
cation of official estimates, and yielded an
average of 2613 bushels per acre for the en-
tire country This seasons gain in area,
compared with 1885, is greater in the South
than in the Western group Of corn-raising
States-the latter representing about 70O.OO
acres, or about / n per cent, and the former
1000, ,0O acres, or ~ per cent. The present
outlook appears to be for a crop OF about
1850, ,000, 600 bushels, on continuance OF favcr-
lble conditions
"Taking the area of the corn crop har-
vested in 1885, application Of the estimates
of the different States as reported by the
Department of Agriculture in July, 1887, re-
suited in about n, ,9S5, COO acres, as represent
ing last years planting. The returns Of area
harvested are stated as z, 1892, 720 acres, or
$500, 900 acres less than were planted. Ap-
plying the estimates Of this years planting
to harvested area in 1887, the indicated
planting this season is rs, ,430, 900 acres, gain
of 3O37, COO acres compared with last years
crop harvested, but decrease of 2,555, 600
acres compared with last years planting"
With view Of showing the indicated area
of corn planted and harvested last year,
compared with this years estimated plant
ing, in leading States and for other portions
Of the country, the Price Current submits
the following compilation:
