OUR CORN CROP.

The West Virginia Farm Report.
er estimates the acreage of corn in
this State for this season at 700. 900
acres, which is considerable in
crease over 1894, and an increase of
more than $4,000 acres over that of
1898. If the figures upon which
the Reporter bases it's estimate are
reliable. 1t would give us "a yield of
FL 100000 bushels, as the average
for the State is given at thirty
bushels per acre. This would be
the largest crop ever grown in the
State, and would exceed the 1898
crop by over 5000, 900 bushels.
The Reporter is of the opinion that
the acreage will reach the zoo. 900
mark, but doubts if the average
yield Of the State will reach the
thirty bushels per acre. If it does
the value tor the crop for 1895 will
be 50 100000 as the average price
for the State is given at forty cents.
Should the 1895 crop prove TO be
worth that sum. il will exceed in
value the 1898 crop by 1851 or.
even at the low price prevailing
