CROP REPORTS
UNPRECEDENTED
TOTAL VALUE OF ALL CROPS
REACH ENORMOUS FIGURE OF
NINE BILLION DOLLARS.

Washington, Oct. 1S.--Crop reports
received this month from every sec
ton of the country indicate that the
total value of all crops and agricul-
tural products for the year of 1910
will reach the astounding and unpre-
cedented figure of $4,000, 100000.
This is nearly a billion dollars more
than last year, and proves that for
the farm population, at least, pros
perity is not on the way but is here.
Hay, corn, potatoes, tobacco and
cranberries, the principal New Eng
land crops, have all turned our fair
to good. Eastern and central states
all send in good reports. Wheat crops
are fair and the corn crop a bumper
one in most sections. Drought has
hurt some sections, but not serious
ly except in few places. Indiana
has the biggest corn crop in its his
tory. Dry weather has injured crops
and parts of Illinois and Wisconsin,
but the yield will not fall far below
the average. The apple crop in the
central west is poor. Iowa reports
bumper oats and corn yields. North
Dakota and parts of South Dakota
have suffered greatly and the North
Dakota yield will be only about half
of normal Minnesota crops have
been good, except hay Nebraska has
a big corn crop, but wheat is rather
light. Missouri and Kansas are both
prosperous. Oklahoma is short on
corn but long on wheat. Sugar beets
and fruits have made Colorado grow
ers happy and contented. The Pacific
northwest has a bumper apple yield
but the wheat crop is light in some
states. California oranges and some
other fruits show a considerable drop
in yield, but high prices will make
up for the shortage. Kentucky, Ten
nessee and other southern, corn-grow.
ing states report unprecedented
yields. Texas and Louisiana report eX
cellent crops. Georgia crops are fair
The cotton crop in many sections Of
the south depends to great extent
on late frost.
