Michigan Crop Report for October.

The number of acres of growing
wheat in the state last spring as re-
turned by supervisors in the Farm
Statistics was ,73O,224; the average
yield per acre as found by threshing is
1912 bushels, and the total yield in
the state 33,083,26l bushels. The
total yield is found by multiplying the
number of acres in each county by the
average per acre in the same county
and footing the products. The aver
age per acre in the southern counties
is 1886 bushels; in the central, 1880
bushels, and in the northern, 1902
bushels. These averages are based
upon return of l54, 1873 acres thresh-
ed in the southern counties, more than
$4,000 in the central counties, and
more than 10000 in the northern
counties. The average per acre in
the state is 0 SO bushels, and in the
southern counties, 0.55 bushels less
than the September estimates.
1t should perhaps be pointed out
that the returns that will be made by
supervisors next spring may show that
the acreage actually harvested this
year was less than above stated The
number of "acres harvested" as re-
ported by supervisors the next spring
after the harvest, is nearly always less
than the 'acres on the ground" re-
ported in the spring preceding the
harvest.
No further estimate of the wheat
crop of the present year will be made
by this department.
The total number of bushels of wheat
reported marketed by farmers since
the September report was published is
2,154, 1884, and in the two months,
August and September, 1857 ,2Sl.
This is 232, 249 bushels moro than re-
ported marketed in the same months
last year.
Oats are estimated to yield 3175
bushels per acre, barley 2l.79 bushels,
and corn So bushels of ears. The esti-
mate for oats is from threshers' records.
The estimates indicate that these are
all full average crops. Corn was very
generally harvested without damage
by frost.
Potatoes are estimated to yield SO
per cent and beans SO per cent of aver
age crops. The estimate for potatoes
indicates very general belief that
the crop has been badly damaged by
drouth.
The percentages for winter apples
are: Southern counties AZ, central II,
northern 70, and state So. One year
ago winter apples were estimated at
IL per cent in the southern counties
and Is per cent in the state.
The percentages for late peaches
are: Southern counties 80, central 70,
northern go, and state 81. One year
ago the figures for the southern coun-
ties were 8, and state IL.
