With the largest wheat crop on record,
there is a prospect that approximately
300, 100000 bushels might be available
for export. With wheat selling at more
than S1.10 bushel, this would cost for
eign buyers $3.50, O0O,0 900. 1t will be off
set, however, by decreased takings of
American cotton abroad.
Last year the United States export
ed $547,OOO,O0O worth of cotton, but
from present indications this year S
exports will fall below that amount.
Other crops, while not of the bumper
class of corn and oats, are still big
yields, and all grains are bringing
fancy prices.
In general the government report
was about in line with expectations.
The yield of corn was estimated at
2.59S, 100000 the condition being III,
compared 10 74.S last month. and the
yield indicated was 36,OOO,OOO bushels
less than on Aug. 1, but 100000 900
bushels more than the small crop of
last year. The present crop is little
below the five year average, and the
big surplus states were hard hit by the
drought and hot weather of the last
few weeks.
The spring wheat yield was estimat-
ed at 221, 100000 bu, compared to 1885,
100000 bu last month and 24O,00O,0OO
Blu the final estimate of last year. The
total wheat crop is S96,000,000 bu
against an indicated yield of 911,000,'
600 bu last month and 763,000,00O bu
last year.
The oats yield was lowered from
1,153, 900 in August to 1,116,000,00C
bu, which is 100000 bu less than the
final figures of a year ago. There will
be a hay crop of 100000 tons of hay
or 5000, 900 tons more than a year ago
and the barley crop exceeds that of a
year ago by 27,000.O0O blu.

FARMS REAP HIGH
PROFITS ON YIELD
Richest Returns on Record Are
Shown by United States
Grain Report.

The farm value of the four leading
cereal crops of the country, together
with the value of the hay crop, shows a
total increase over the value of the
same crops last year of $621,000,00O,
according to the government Septem-
Der crop report issued yesterday aft
ernoon.
The total crop of wheat is placed at
$50, 100000 bushels, reduction OF
Is. OOO, 900 bushels i'll the spring wheat
yield estimated in August, lowering
the total yield. The value of this crop
is 1913 cents Sept. 1, based on the farm
values, or a total of 1886, 100000, com
pared to $5SS.OOO,O0O a year ago. The
value of the corn crop is S2,117,O00,000,
against $1,S45. 100000 in 1913, and oats
$472. 600, 900, or S32.000,00O more than
a year ago. The barley crop is worth
IS, 600, 900 more than in 1913 on Sept.
l and the hay crop has farm value Of
$50. 900, 600, or Sol 100000 more than
last year.
The above figures show better than
anything else the sound basis for pros
perity on the farms the coming year.
Eventually the splendid position of
the farmers should be reflected in gen
eral business conditions. as never be-
fore in the history of the country has
there been the prospect for the none
tary returns.to the farmer there is this
year.
Ordinarily a huge crop means low
prices, but this year the record break
ing wheat crop is being disposed of at
the highest values in many years. The
moderate size of the spring wheat crop
is more than offset by the enormous
winter wheat yield, which is now being
marketed at about 50 TO 40 cents high
er than at the beginning of the har-
vest.
