TEXAS CORN STATISTICS
Crop Surpasses any Yield i'm His
tory OF the State.

From the abundant yield of corn
this year it will be seen that Texas
need not long be tied down to the
grindstone bv the ravages of the
ubiquitous boil weevil. To raise
more corn to fatten more hogs
should be the slogan of the farmer
who wants to get out of the rut of
despair that the boil wecvils has
| plowed through his field. Corn and
| forage crops are coming to the front
! in Texas, and the diversifiers are
| making it possible. Corr and hogs
| and hay and cattle make good di-
versification and put money in the
| pockets Of the man who tries them
| long enough to get the results. The
statistics regarding the feed and
| forage crops for the United States
have just been received, and from it
the following interesting items are
CLEANED.
A careful consideration Of the fig
ures Will show that Texas has en-
inyed the largest crop in corn and
| hay that she has ever produced.
The average yield per acre of corn
is ~ 2-l0 bushels The acreage is,
in round numbers, $3.50, 900 acres.
This makes a total yield, in round
numbers, of 40, 600 coo bushels.
The corn yield for last year was
| s l-lO bushels per acre, and the aver
age crop of the state for the last ten
years is II 10.
1t will be seen from the above
that the yield this year is the largest
ever realized. The average for the
United States is p $40, only l clio
more than the Texas yield. When
II Is considered that Texas is not re-
garied by the other corn states as
much Of corn producer, it will be
seen what such a hig average means
for the Texans. The corn is Of the
highest quality, and the farmers
have nothing to wish for in the corn
crop that they have not realized.
