Des Moines, Dec. 13.--Iowa's 1902
crop, at current prices. is worth s215,.
722.s39. Such are the ngures collected
by Director Sage. This looks big but
for Iowa it is comparatively small.
Last year, despite the drouth, the
crops were worth $274,o00, 900, or $780,
100000 more than this year. The year
before the crops were worth at cur
rent prices at that time 1929 ,000, 900.
Wet weather, frosted corn and a
ruined oats crop are responsible for
the s59,O00,0 900 shortage as compared
with year ago. The corn crop alone,
current prices and average yields COM
pared, is worth $35 1000, 900 less this
year than a year ago, while the oats
crop is worth $4,000, 900 less than a
year ago. Other crops suffered, but
the big loss was in the damage to corn
and the ruin of fully half the oats
crop.
Carefully compared figures made up
by Professor Sage, director of the
Iowa crop service, and aided by re-
porters who are experienced farmers
from each township, in the county,
show the above results.
Ills report SHOWS tndt out ~ per
cent of the corn produced in Iowa this
year will be marketable. The total
yield is 296,950,230 bushels. The mar.
ketable corn amounts to 1888, sos
bushels. In 1901 the entire crop was
classed as marketable corn. The
yield was 227 100000 bushels in that
year or 100000 bushels less than
this year. Despite the small yield in
1901 there were 100000 more bush
els of marketable corn than this year.
In 1900, when the bumper crop of 345,-
000,0 900 bushels of corn was raised, the
marketable corn exceeded that of this
year by 20S,000,000 bushels.
Professor Sage's reports show. how.
ever, tnat the soft or frost bitten corn
all has a value for feeding purposes
but 1t is worth much less Tor this pur-
pose than would be a corresponding
amount of sound corn. This Is due to
the fact that at basket measure it viii
run about eighteen pounds to the
bushel nghter than the sound or mar
ketable corn.
The estimates on the total yield are
at basket measurements. The esti-
mate of the amount of marketable
corn is based on weight measure of
fifty-six pounds to the bushel.
