The Browns ran true to form in

Washington.-This years corn crop
promises to be the most valuable this

although the department OF agricul-
ture's preliminary estimate Of produc-
tions indicates 1t will be more than
half million bushels less In size
than the record crop of last year, and
the smallest since 1908.
Based on the departments figures
Of 70.7 cents per bushel. the average
farm value on November /. the crop.
as now estimated, is worth 91.741.-
353,019, while the value Of the 1912
record crop was 1880. .l54 900. The
previous most valuable crop was that
of 1909, when 1t was worth $1,462. 2.S22.-
900.
The departments preliminary esti-
mate of production increased by 90.
100000 bushels the estimate made in
October, and also that made In Sep
tember. This was taken to indicate
that the damage from the drought in
the middle west was somewhat over
estimated. The departments final

may show further increase in the
size OF the crop.
