THE NEWS AND OBSERVER. SUNDAY MORNING AUGUST 1901

States was 575 900, OO0 the record for 1898,
duction of this cereal within the last
twelve months. AS far as values can De
legtimately estimated thus far in advance
of market prices, the farming community
undoubtedly will be better off than ever
before in the history of the country, not
withstandng the great damage that has
been wrought throughout the corn belt.
RAINS SAVE MILLIONS.
The drought territory of the corn belt
enlarged steadily from the beginning OF
April Conditions have been alarming,
not only in Nebraska and Iowa, in addi-
ticn to the other States mentioned, but
also in central and southern Indiana. Ad-
vices received up to this time Indicate
that the drought in southern Illinois,
southern Indiana and southern Ohio re-
mains unbroken, and it may be taken for
granted that whatever damage has been
done in these localities will be intensified
until the appearance of rain. Ia these To-
caaties a good rainfall within week or
more will practically save the crop.
There is no question that the downfall
of Saturday and Sunday through the
greater part of the corn belt has saved
at least 200 600, 900 bushels out Of what
will now most certainly reach to a L.
600, OGO, 900 bushel crop. The total crop
of the corn belt for 1900, according to
the final bulletins of the Agricultural De-
partment at Washington, was 1864, 120,-
So bushels. The Record Herald's esti-
mate of the total crop this year shows a
shortage of little over $50 900, 00e bush

conditions, however, it must be borne
in mind that last years returns did not
come within 30 per cent of a full crop.
PROSPECTIVE STATE CROPS.
Missouri and Kansas this year have
only 20 per cent OF a full crop Arkansas
80 per cent; Texas, DO per cent; South
Dakota, 80 per cent, and Iowa and Illinois,
Go per cent. Tennessee, which Will nave
d. 600 900 bushels more than it had last
year, the only State showing an in
crease, will, with it's estimate OF 10000
COO bushels for 1901, have only 70 per cent
OF a full crop.

for the winter and spring wheat crops
of 1901, with comparisons

MISSOURI HARDEST HIT.

Missouri has suffered far more than any
other State, and will undoubtedly show
shortage of 125000. goo bushels in COM
parison with last years crop Iowa, Kan

The harvest for spring wheat hos al

north as the Red River Valley. The high
temperatures and drought have materially
shortened the crop in these States. but
they are the only three that have been

is almost ready to harvest. with everv

FINE FOR WINTER WHEAT.

The drought struck Kansas just as this
winter wheat crop was being harvest...
and though 1t was disastrous to the corn.
1t brought with it ideal conditions for
harvesting. In most Of the States where
winter wheat was planted the whole crop
has been saved in perfect condition.
again illustrating the theory that a sea-
son favorable for winter wheat is almost
always unfavorable for corn.
In no single week since corn was planted
this year has there been a normal amount
OF moisture in the ground, and when the
worst Of the drought came the plants
were left with no reserve supply to draw
upon. But Kansas that shows falling
off of q per cent from last years crop
of corn. has 100 900 900 bushels Of winter
wheat. by far the greatest showing in its
history. and thrashing reports prove that
the quality is better than ever before.
