Cora Is Biggest Crop Ever Grown

Cora Is Biggest Crop Ever Grown.
A corn crop surprising any ever grown
before; reduction in wheat prospects,
due to damage to the spring wheat crop,
and record crops of barley. rye. white and
sweet potatoes. tobacco and hay were fore
cast Friday in the August LIST crop report
of the Department of Agriculture.
Corn production was placed at $751;
100000 bushels, an increase of 67.000,-
900 bushels over the July forecast, and
6S.000.000 bushels above the record crop
Of 1912. The showing is due to vast i'm
provement in the growing corn in Illinois,
Indiana, Iowa and Missouri. In Kansas
the condition declined to 33 per cent. of
normal, compared with Sc per cent. on
July 1, and as a result the Kansas crop is
forecast at S1,740.000 bushels, compared
with 1859. 536.000 bushels forecast in July
0klahomas crop showed decline from 81
per cent. Of normal to 80 per cent. with
production forecasts reduced from 65, 592,-
900 bushels to 1884, 900 bushels.
Spring wheat production forecast in July
at 276,000.000 bushels, showed the re-
suits of adverse weather conditions. The
prospects are put at 236, $4,000 bushels
a drop of about 100000 bushels from
the July report. North Dakota's crop
suffered most, with a loss in prospective
production Of about 100000 bushels,
while South Dakota lost about 100000
bushels and Washington 7 100000 bush.
Winter wheat, however. is turning out
better than previously forecast with FORE
cast total of 4i7,000.000 bushels, or 49,
100000 bushels more than indicated from
July conditions.
The combined yield Of winter and spring
wheat therefore shows reduction of U.s.
100000 bushels from the production fore
cast in July. The crop. forecast from
August conditions. will be only $685.
100000 bushels. or 5000. 900 more than
harvested last year.
White potatoes are expected to yield
4of,oOU,OOO OuShels, lo,OOO,OOO bushels
more than forecast from July conditions.
and 100000 bushels more than the
record crop Of 1912. Sweet potatoes also
will be a record with S6.40O,000 bushels.
There will be an enormous crop of to-
bacco, almost i20.000.000 pounds larger
than the record production of last year.
The buckwheat crop will be the largest in
many years, and oats will come close to
equaline the record made in 1915
Other details Of the report follow

yield, 1871 bushels per acre, compared with
S.6 last year and 1853 the bills average.
