DROUGHT CAUSE
OF MUCH DAMAGE
Wheat Harvest on Contrary Promises
To Surpass 1902 Record
Yield.

| Wash ngton, Aug. S-A loss OF 3JO.-
100000 bushels of corn the nations
greatest farm crop has resulted from
the great damage wrought by drought
and other conditions since July 1 the
governments agricultural experts es-
innate today in their August crop re-
port. A total production of 2,672,OOO
900 bushels of corn was predicted.
This is 452,O0O,O 900 bushels less than
last years crop.
The general condition of the corn
was placed at 1873 per cent of norm
al compared with S6.9 on July 1. Kan
sas was hit hardest the condition
there beng reduced from S1.6 per
cent in July to 30 per cent on Aug. /.
Oklahoma came next with a condition
of A against 81 in July and Nebraska
reported 67 against 81 July 1. These
three states have almost 10 per cent
of the total area planted to corn this
year.
A bright spot in the monthly era
report however was the preliminary
statistics showing a production of
51l 100000 bushels of winter wheat.
This is the greatest harvest of wheat
ever gathered in the United States
exceeding the record crop OF 1902 by
10 100000 bushels. Today's figures
exceeded by 2S,OOO,OOO bushels the es.
innate made by the department IN
July.
Spring wheat, too, was given an
increased estimate of production, II
being $4,000 900 bushels more than
the July estimate, the total being
placed at 2S3,OOO,OOO bushels. With
the bumper winter wheat crop and a
fairly good spring wheat production
the total harvest of all wheat is esti
mated at 744,OOO,OOO bushels. A crop
this size would place the years pro.
duction second only to the record
crop of 1901, when 74S,000,000 bush
els were produced.
