as per cent above the five-year average.
Easily the fifth crop in point Of value
Is oats. the value Of which this year Is
1885,, 100000, or 70 per cent above the average
Of the five preceding years. In quality the
oats crop this year is magnificent. For
the second time in the history Of this coun-
try the crop exceeds 1000 100000 bushels,
the precise estimate standing at LOo6, 500 900
bushels, or p per cent greater than the av-
erage Of the five preceding years.
Potato Leader.
Next in order Of value is the potato crop
which has been exceeded only in two or
three former years. With the exception
Of the crop of 1909. which was in a degree
an overproduction. the CROP of this year
is the largest ever grown in this country;
the preliminary estimate of the department
is 52S, 49, 900 bushels or per cent above the
average of the preceding five years
Beet sugar production in 1910 will about

Its factory value is reckoned at 100000
and the factory value Of cane sugar, at
about S2S OOO, 900, an amount which has been
exceeded in four years
/. II prospects are realized, the entire sugar
crop Of factory production, beet and cane
combined, will be $4,000 short tons, or a
production that has been exceeded in only
one year, 1909. In factory value the two
sugar crops will equal about $4,000 600;
and II to this be added the value Of mo-
lasses, strip, beet pulp, and sorghum and
maple products the combined value Is
about 100000.
The TOBACCO crop has slightly exceeded
the production Of the record year. 1909,
and its $4,000 pounds are % per cent
above the average, production Of the five
preceding years. Its value will be about
$95, 900 900, or about the same as that Of the
crop Of 1909, and fully $4,000 OOO more than
any tobacco crop antedatlng that year.
Barley has hardly maintained the aver
age production Of the preceding five years.

cent above the five-year average.
FlaNseed production is far below that Of
recent years ON account Of a sewers
drought, the preliminary estimate being
100000 bushels, but the price OF flaxseed

value OF the entire crop Is about S33 900, 900.

1909
Rye is one OF the steady crops, both IN
quantity and in value; the production OF
S2'OSSOo bushels this year being worth at
the farm about $4,000 600
Rice production in 1910 remained slbstan-
TALLY at the figure OF 1903, or a little over
l,0OO,OOOOOO pounds OF rough rice. No year
, previous TO 1903 produced as large a crop;
IL exceeds the average OF the previous
five years by p per cent The price OF
, rice, however, has declined so that the
crop OF this year Is worth hardly $4,000. COO

The hop crop is regarded as Is per cen,
below the average Of the previous five
years and the smallest crop in a dozen
years or more; but the farm price has i'm
proved over the average OF the previous
five years, so that the total value OF the
crop is per cent above that average.
Record in Cereals.
In no previous year has the production
Of the cereal crops equaled the grand tota
of b,l4OSs6,Oo0 bushels OF the cereals OF
1910 This is 10 per cent above the five
year average. In value, however, the cereal.
