Michigan Crop Report for November.
= The weather during October has
been exceptionally fine. 1t was too
warm and dry for wheat to make a
good growth. 1t was admirable
weather for husking corn except where
it was in the shock; at times it got too
dry to secure the fodder in good shape.
Potatoes, sugar beets and other root
crops were dug and secured as fast as
possible.
WHEAT.
The condition of wheat as compar-
ed with an average, is 81 in the state,
S5 in the southern, SO in the central
and so in the northern counties.
Fields of wheat that were sowed early
made a fairly good growth; but in
most parts of the state these fields of
>sarly sown wheat are thoroughly in
Tested with the Hessian fly. The
complaint is general-in fact, many
correspondents report that this pest is
the worst it has been for years. Many
fields could not be properly prepared
on account of the dry weather; these
were of necessity sowed late and
while the plants on these fields are
small it is reasonably free from the
Gly and may eventually yield the best
crop. Some fields are spotted, while
others on some up-lands, have been
badly washed.
The total number of bushels of
wheat reported marketed by farmers
in October at the Touring mills is
429, 102, and at the elevators 350,611
or a total Of 779,713 bushels. Of this
whole amount 1859 bushels were
marketed in the southern four tiers of
counties, 131 ,113 bushels in the CEN
trail counties and 46,741 bushels in the
northern counties. The total num-
+, Der Of bushels of wheat reported mar
keted in the three months August
October is 2,312,747 which is 1858, 2OS
bushels less than reported marketed
in the same months last year. At SO
mills and elevators from which re-
ports have been received, there was
NO wheat marketed in October. The
total amount of wheat shipped by rail-
aoads from the various stations, as re-
ported for September, is 398, 348 BUSH
els.
CORN.
The estimated average yield of
shelled corn in bushels is, in the state
20, in the southern counties 80, in the
central counties %, and in the north
,ern counties 20. 1t is evident that
the dry weather last summer hurt corn
to considerable extent, as cores
pondents report that it is not yielding
as we'll as they expected; others re-
port many nubbins and much soft
corn.
The per cent cut up for fodder is, in
the state SO, in the southern counties
AZ, in the central counties SO, and in
the northern counties ~ Some cor
respondents report that they are using
corn fodder for feed and selling their
hay to shippers.
CLOVER SEED.
The acreage of clover seed harvest
ed as compared with average years is
In per cent, in the state 81, in the
southern counties 81, in the central
counties 45, and in the northern coun-
ties 40.
e The average yield per acre in BUSH
els in the state is LAB, in the southern
counties 1888, in the central counties
asa, and in the northern counties
2.O9.
