IT GIVES SOME FIGURES

WASHINGTON Dec. IA prelim'

crops of the United States for 1909 and
comparisons with the same crops for
1899 Vac issued today by Director Du-
rand of the Bureau of the Census. De-
partmcnt Of Commerce and Labor. 1t
presents the statistics of acreage, pro-
duction, average yield per acre and,
average number of bushels per capita,
together with figures for the imports
and exports of these products. 4 COM
putation of the amounts remaining for
home consumption is included, which
is derived from a comparison of the
quantities grown and the quantities
exported and imported. The statement
was prepared under the direction Of
Or. lie Grand Powers, chief statistician
for agriculture by Benjamin H. Hib
bard. expert special agent
The leading crops of the United
States which are used mainly for hu-
man food or are fed to meat producing
animals and thus contribute to the food
supply, are wheat corn, potatoes, sweet
potatoes, and rice. Comparisons Of
the crops for 1909 withathose of 1899
are based on statistics showing the
acreage and production of these crops
IN the two years These figures show
important tendencies, but they are not
equally significant. Comparisons Of
the quantities produced in any single
year may be misleading when in either

YIELD PER ACRE IN 1909

As respects wheat the year 1909 was
= very favoraDIe one. as the yield pei
acre averaged 15.4 buhels; on the 9th
or hand. in 1899 the yield was low, 12.j
bushels per acre. These two amounts
represent probably about the extremes
OF fluctuations.
In the case of corn the yield per
acre in 1899 was about the normal
while that of 1909 was decidedly below
the normal. The year 1909 was a good
one for potatoes, sweet potatoes. and
rice. the yields being higher than 10
years before and undoubtedly some
what above the average for the decade
Taking these five crops together. II
would seem, therefore. that fully as
much fOodstuff was produced from the
acreage planted in 1909 as can be ex-
rected for an average year under our
present system Of farming.
During the decade from 1899 to 1909
the land used for producing these five
crops combined decreased from 151.-
321 900 acres to 1855, 900 acres. a loss

standing the increase in the amount of
rice produced in 1909. as compared
with 1899, the excess of amount of
rice imported over that exported also
increased considerably. The produc-

REDUCTION IN PER CAPITA
WHEAT PRODUCTION.

The area planted 10 wheat decreased
from 52.5S9.000 acres in 1899 TO a.
262.0 acres in 1909. a falling off of
S.327 900 acres, or l5.S per cent, but
the production was 65S,534. 900 bushels
in 1899, and 6S3S73,OOO bushels in 1904
an increase of 24.S39 900 bushels. or 3.S
per cent. Had 1899, however, been Z
normal year for wheat, a decrease in
production would have appeared in
1899. In 1899 there was 12.7 per cent
o. the improved land OF the country
planted to wheat. but in 1909 the pro-
portion had fallen to 90 per cent
Though the aggregate production was
greater in 1909 than in 1899, the per
capita production of wheat fell.
through the growth of population.
from 81 bushels in 1899 to IA bushels
in 1909. This reduction in the per cap
ita production is counterbalanced by
a decrease in the amount exported.
Wheat imports are insignificant and
may be disregarded In the year end
ing June 30 1900, there were exported
in wheat and flour the equivalent of
1S6. $4,000 buhels. or 2S.3 per cent of
the crop of 1899. Ten years later the
exports were S7,364 900 bushels, or
only 1928 per cent of the crop of 1900.
From the crop Of 1899 there remained.
for home consumption. 472.437 900
bushels. or 60 bushels per capita. as
compared with $50. O09. 900 bushels. or
65 bushels per capita from the crop
of 1909. Thus the amount of wheat
ued at home is. in proportion to popu-
lation, a shade greater than 10 years

2.552, 100000 buhels, a loss of $4,000
600 bushels: this loss, however. being
due to temporary weather conditions.
In 1899 the percentage of improved
land planted to corn was 22.9: in 1909,
il was 20.6. The per capita production
in 1899 was 35l bushels: in 1909 il was
27.7 bushels While a part of this de-
crease was due to the poor crop OF

SUBSTANTIAL INCREASE IN
POTATOES.

The amount of land devoted to the
production of potatoes and sweet po-
tatoes increased between 1899 and 1909
from 3.476.000 acres to 100000 acres
a gain of $4,000 acres. or "a per cent.
During the same time the production
increased from 315,S45.00O bushels to

600 bushels. or AZ per cent. Hence the
land used increased faster proportion
ally than the population and the pro-
ducts much faster. The percentage
OF improved land utilized for these
two crops increased from eight-tenths

per cent in 1909. While the proper
tion of land so used is low at both CEN
