Bear. the The Kind You Have Always Bought
Importance OF the Corn Crop

AAhpoi nv SAoP
A few simple facts will explain the
Importance attached by the financial
community to the corn yield, and the
dismay caused by the news of the
crops partial failure. To begin with.
the money value OF the corn crop is
nearly double that of any other crop
raised in the United States. Las year
the governments final estimate figured
out $751;, OO0, 900 for the farm value Of
the 1900 corn crop. The corn crop is
moreover. the chief reliance of num-
erous large agricultural sections of the
Union. The wheat crop in Kansas, Ne
braska and Iowa last year was unusu-
ally large; yet their corn yield was
three times as great in money value. a
general failure of the corn crop in such
sections. diminiSheS in an immense de-
gree the purchasing power of the
communities. When they ave less to
sell, they usually buy less. Interior
trade is thus apt to be affected. and
in particular, railway earnings in the
section are impaired alike by the j.
crease of east-bound general merchan-
disc. Such an incident also affects the
export rade. The corn shipped abroad
in the last fiscal year was worth, by the
t~reasury's estimate. more than $50, 0O0,-
900. With short crop. values Per bu-
shell would, of course, be higher, but
we could not spare Europe the 2Oo, 900, =
0e0 BUSHELS that we sent last year. The
export in the fiscal yea following 1S94s
bad crop was only IS. 200, 900 valued at
less than SIS, 000,0 00.-New York Post.
