CORN CROPS ENORMOUS Loss
Government Rerort shows Decline
of 273 Points

Government Reuort shows Decline
of 27,3 Points
Instead of being reassuring, the gov
eminent report Of the condition oS the
corn crop on Aug. is startling in its
demonstration of the blighting effect OF
July's fainless skies upon growing grain
Where an average corn crop means a
yield in the neighborhood Of 100000
bushels. while the big yield Of 1896 was
2, 2S3, S45. JOS, the governments state
ment compiled from the reports of
$4,000 correspondents indicates a total
crop this year of only 1,295,9T,000
bushels. This is shrinake< og over
650,000,000 from the estimates made
July i. 1901
For the States in the great corn belt
the loss is shown in the following table
of acreage and estimated yield compared
with the yield in 1900:

The effect of the July drought was
also felt by other cereals.
A comparison of the crop promise July
/ with the prospect Aug |. thirty days
later, as told in the percentages of the
Washington document, diseloses why the
West has been buying the coarse grain
with such a frenzy for four weeks, and
why the corn and oats prices are up al
most 80 per cent in that time
Aug 1, bu. July I, hu.

Oats .. ... 600, 100000 6S4, 100000
Spring wheat -. $3.50, o0O,o 900 276,0oo,0oo
The loss on potatoes means great
deal, the condition being only 62.3, COM
pared with 50 last year. 1t means
about 160,000,000 bushels, against no.
100000 bushels last year.
The advance in prices has offset these
crop losses so far as the entire farming
community is concerned. 1t is an eco
monte fact that farmers as whole get
more in the aggregate for their short
crops than for their big ones. but the
benefit of this advanCn is un9venly dis
tributed. Some interests get no benefit
from the advanced prices. Tie railroads
lose their tonnage and do not benefit.
They get just so much less to handle.
The following shows the advances in
prices on corn and oats since the middle
of June before the drought began:
June Is Aug. 10.

pessimistic report of the government of
