Of he cotton. wheat and oats crops,

Of this year Commonly supposed 20

There il no crop that this country

Wide interest az cotton. for the fea-

a low production of 47.000.0eO
tons Of hay In far below the fIve.yenr
average yield OF ss,s0o.0 900 tons. an l
wns exceeded by the crop OF 1854 aud
every scar since 1888. Notwithstand.
ing the low production the price has
not correspondlngiy advanced. for
the reasons. probably. that there was
good and late fall pasturage and that
the farmers have n great deal OF
roughage 10 take the sniaee of hay.
The value Of hay IN placed at little
less than SEQ. 100000, and this Is
$50. 100000 more than the estimated
value OF the cotton lint produced this
year and si00,0oO. 900 more than the
Waite OF the wheat crop.
Wheat AZ the crop fourth In order
Of value and is worth 5000. 600. 600.
The estimate OF the department
places the production al G53, 900. 00O
bushels. an amount that would
have been much exceeded had wealth
~ conditions been favorable.
This country produced one-flfth Of
the worlds wheat crop during tho
last five years and contributed about
one-elglth Of the worlds exports
The Yield of the oats crop Is estI-
mated 10 be S7i. eco 600 bushels. "A
low amount caused hy adverse wealth
or. Its value IL placed at s3S0.00p.-
600. or per cent more than the
flVo-ycar average. About one fourth
OF the worlds oats IL grown In this
country.
The posnto crop OF sss.0OO. 900
bushels IL about 30 per cent ~ the
average production. but the farm
price has increased to such an extent
that the total value 81 the crop Is
the highest 81 record and amounts TO
s3tS. OOe goo.
Barley IL another crop deficient in
production. Tho 1876 600 900 bushels
are ~ per cent below the flvc-year
average. but Tire total value of the
crop IL about ties.O0o. zee. and much
above the record value OF 1907.
The tobacco crop IL estimated 20
be about soc. 600, 900 pounds. or 2 per
cent under the fiye-year average. ana
20 be worth about SIC .o0e, coo. or Ga
per cent under the five-ycar average.
The tobacco grown in this country
during the last five years IL 81 per
cent ~ the worlds crop, end siip-
piled other countries With quantity
that II ts.3 per cent Of the worlds
exports OF tobacco.
The production OF flaxse.d this
year has been exceeded many times.
but the total value has never been
eaualed. Tho crop OF 2s,000.00o
bushels has farm value OF about
st7, OO6. 900.
Rye has the low production OF al
100000 bushels. but the value. f2e,-

average. Nearly ohe-fonyth OF the
