CORN AND POTATO CROPS
Cut Short by the DrOuth and Prices of
Provisions VIII be High
This Winter

Washington, Sept. 27.-Higher prices
for the winter of 1911-12 is the fore
cast of the officials of the Department
of Agriculture, based upon the knowl-,
edge of crop conditions already in
hand. 1t is regarded by the statistic
ans of every bureau of the department
that the prices of food stuffs general
1y for the coming winter will be even
higher than those of the winter of
190910. That those of last winter
will be exceeded is already accepted.
Corn Crop Short BY 100000, 900
The corn crop shortage, according
to the latest figures, will be not less
than 400,000,000 bushels. This is the
chief item of Uncle Sans food pro-
ducing business. Last year furnished
the bumper corn crop of the agricul-
tural history of America-3,12 p 600, 900
bushels. This years crop, it is figured,
will not exceed .721,000.000 bushels.
The effect of this prodigious shortage
will be felt by the whole people. There
will be abundant corn for meal and
other corn products for the table; the
great hardship will be in the decreas-
ed amount of corn available for live
stock. Corn is the great fattener of
meat-producing animals, and the in
crease in the price of all meats.
Drought is responsible for the corn
shortage. It has forced farmers to
plant what is known as catch crops
those which grow rapidly and which
may be used as substitutes for corn in
the cattle feeding territories.
Potato Shortage
The potato shortage is even more
noticeable than the corn shortage, but
| so far as this country is concerned is
| not so serious in it's effect Last years
potato crop was 339,000,00o bushels.
The actual shortage is therefore in the
ineighborhood of S7.000,000 bushels.
| This would not be so serious a mat
| ter but for the shortage in the potato
producing areas of northern and west
/ ern Europe. Germany's potato crop,
the most important potato crop in the
| iwor1d-threatens almost total failure.
The normal production OF potatoes in
Germany is in the neighborhood of l.
500 ,000, 900 bushels. This year, accord
| ing to the latest figures received by
Prof. Charles NJ. Daugherty. chief of
the division of research and reference
| it will be scarcely 1000. .0Oo. 900 bushels
Conditions in France, Austria-Hungary
and Russia appear to be equally bad
| Fortunately for the Europeans
tsaid Professor Daugherty, "the cereal
crops of Europe this season were good
Had northern and western Europe not
had better than average crops of rye
wheat 1nd oats, famine conditions
would stare the working classes OF
France, Holland, Belgium, Germany
and Austria in the face. The poor
people of those nations. who are large
fconsumers of potatoes. will have te
make up the deficit with breadstufrs
! of one kind or another"
