Despite Shortened Season,
Yield Is Largest In Ma

Reduces Figures In Ear
lier Estimates.
TOBACCO ALSO TOPS
IT'S PREVIOUS MARKS

Washington, D. c., Nov. S.-A corn
crop, larger by more than $4,000, 600
bushels than ever before grown, is the
production Of the farmers OF the
United States this year. Tho depart
ment Of agriculture today, In its pre-
lfminary estimate Of the crop, placed
the quantity at 3.191, ,083, 900 bushels.
Conditions since the October fore
cast caused reduction of about 49,
zoe, 900 bushels in the indicated out
put.
POTATOES AND TosAcco, TOO.
Potatoes are also a record crop with
a total of 439,6S6,00O bushels but un-
favorable weather late in the season
caused a reduction Of $1,000, 900 bush
els.
Tobacco production is a record.
The corn crop Of 1917 is notable -
occupying the largest acreage and pro
ducing the largest total crop Of record,
says the statement by the department
Of agriculture. The yield per acre,
however, is not exceptional, owing to
an unfavorable season, characterized
by late spring, cold summer, which
was also too dry over much Of the corn
belt and early and damaging frosts and
freezes the season being thus shorten
ed at both ends. Thus, unhappily, the
bountifu crop contains much more
corn that did not fully mature, prob
ably in excess Of 20 per cent, although
most Of this h4d reached the dough
state, making it useful for silos and
early feeding.
sUcKNHEAf. AND FLAX Low.
The potato crop, estimated 1t 440,-
900 200 bushels, is the largest on rec
ord, Notwithstanding an unfavorable
September and October cut down the
production.
The buckwheat production Of 16,S13.-
900 bushels fell below early forecasts,
although it is up to an average in total
production compared with former
years.
The flaxseed crop, estimated at
9,64S, 900 bushels is very disappointing,
being much below an average produc-
ton.
Corn quality was 75.2 per cent COM
pared with S4 per cent last year, and
ten below the average. In principal
states the quality was: Iowa SIS per
cent: Ohio 73 per cent: Indiana 63
per cent; Illinois II per cent; Mis-
souri, sc per cent: Nebraska 80 per
cent; Kansas 50 per cent.
The yield per acre of corn averaged
26.4 bushels compared with $500
bushels last year. Pennsylvania led
with 80 bushels. In the principal pro
ducing states the acre yield was:
Iowa 81 bushels; Ohio 3S bushels;
Indiana 3s bushels; Illinois 3S bush
