CORN PROSPECT
WORST IN YEARS
INDICATION is THAT NOT MORE
TED-OTHER CROPS.

Althoush tie corn crop of the Unit
ed States. according to government
estimates. VII! be considerably larger
than last year. present indications are
that Oklahoma will render no assist
ance in increasing the grand total.
Corn prospects in this state are poorer
chan for many years, and from the
best information obtainable will not
be more than half of a normal crop.
Really satisfactory information as
TO the corn condition in Oklahoma is
very difficult TO obtain, because of
the fact that during the last two weeks
there have been many local rains,
which worked untold benefit to the
corn in the particular location where
they fell but very frequently eN-
tended over only few square miles.
The man whose corn was benefited by
such q shower is much more likely TO
report (. than the one who failed to
get any rain at all, and officials of the
board of agriculture believe that their
report, for this month on the condi-
ton Of corn. which are now beginning
20 ccme I'm, are likely TO show the con-
dition rather better than it really is
one feature that makes the sener-
al result somewhat uncertain is the
fact that many farmers would put in
9Oday corn If rains We're received in
the near future. The result OF that
crop is Of course entirely uncertain
but f. seems to be safe to say that so
far rs the crop now in the ground
is concerned the 1911 yield will not
be more than 80 per cent of the nor
NAL
The crop for the United States this
year is estimated az 2.927.l64.O0O bush
els. against 2,7SS.S15,SO6 last year. but
Oklahoma probably will not contribute
more than 5O,OOOO0O bushels to swell
that grand total. The yield last year
was 92.S75 900 bushels, which is rath-
er more than the average, comparing
