of the state estimate that the yield
per acre will be greater than normal
The per centage estimates show a
wide range; Lucas county reporting
1877 per cent, while both Richland and
Huron counties report most discour-
aging prospects-51 per cent. One
year ago the yield per acre was esti-
mated at SO per cent. compared with
a normal production of Is bushels per
acre. The estimated area harvested
is practically the same as the harvest
area for 1910 as reported by the town
ship assessors. Reports as to the
quality of the grain vary greatly,
even in immediate localities. The
total production should equal, if not
exceed the harvest of last year.
Oats show an increase of per cent
in prospect, compared with estimate
of one month ago. The outlook is
most discouraging. Rainfalls during
the past month have been beneficial,
but the severe drought has cut the
crop short, and, as stated in previous
reports, the total yield will be short
from fifteen to twenty million bushels
compared with 1910 harvest.
Corn shows marked improvement
during the past month. Rainfalls
were general over the state. No es-
Inmates as TO condition reported, but
generally correspondents note its i'm
proved condition.
Glover hay will produce less than
an average of one ton per acre. Tim
othy prospect poor. Estimated at so
per cent. compared with an average
production.
Potatoes show serious damage by
drought. Early potatoes failure
The general state prospect is esti-
mated at As per cent, compared with
normal yield.
Pastures are in poor condition.
Rain needed badly.
Last years Ohio fruit crop was a
failure. Present report indicates that
1911 crop will be most abundant one
in comparison.
