SUCH CROPS NEVER KNOWN
Nine Principal Staples Estimated
to Be Worth S2,SS8, 10000.
Year Like This Does Not Come to
Farmers More Than Once
in Decade.

New York City.-The estimated re-
turns available 1t this season for tho
nine principal crops Of the United
States, excepting hay. indicate the
unparalleled total value, at Decem-
Der prices. Of s2,SsS,72o.OO0, which
is about S1SO.74O,4S7 more than the
wealth produced by the farmers last
year in these staples. Although it is
usual for final returns on the princi-
pal cereal crops to show diminution
from the September estimates (Which
last year amounted to 8,924,00O
bushels in corn and 11,467.511 in
wheat), the concensus Of opinion
among the experts seems to be that
this year the final estimates will show
even higher yields than are at pres
emit indicated, so that the final total
of values which will be issued In De-
cember may be expected TO show even
higher hguresI Further it is not
higher prices, but record-breakiug
production that makes this year the
greatest in the country's history.
The following table compares with
last years figures the estimated
yields and values OF the nine princi-
pal agricultural products:
