Prices Higher, Though.

The acreage devoted to these five cpops
corn, wheat. oats, hay and cotton-com-
prlses about 90 per cent of the area in all
crops and therefore has a predominating
effect upon the general average condition
Of all crops. Nearly all the minor crops
were materially smaller this year than in
1912. and the per acre yields below their
average.
ITO the producers the lessened crop
production this year is largely compen-
stated by the increased prices received for
their produce, for. although the total crop
production is approximately II per cent
smaller than last years production, the
average level Of prices is higher than last
year"
