RECORD YEAR IN VALUES OF
FARM CROPS
Nations Principal Farm Crops Worth
More Than in Any Previous Year.
Total Value $12,272,412

With a total value of $12,272 ,412,-
900 the nations principal farm crops
this year were worth more, based on
prices paid to farmers December /,
than in any year in the history of
American agriculture. December crop
estimates of the Department of Agri-
culture showed that this years total
exceeds that of the former record year
1917 by $614,380,O0O. There also was
marked increase in acreage, the $685.
895,722 total exceeding that of last
year by 1O,700,000 acres.
These crop figures were looked upon
with satisfaction by officials as show
ing that the nation will be in even a
better position to fulfill it's pledge of
20 million tons of foodstuffs to Eu-
rope next year than had been expect
ed.
Most of the crops are larger than
the five-year average and some of
them established records, particularly
spring wheat, barley, rye and tobac-
CO. Corn, however, fell below the five
year average. Today's estimates p!ac-
ed the crop at 166, 1884, 900 bushels less
than forecast in November, with total
of 2,582,000 bushels. That is almost
half billion bushels less than last
years record crop.
The wheat crop is larger than the
five-year average and almost O0,OOO,.
900 bushels larger than last years
crop, but it is more than 100000, ,OO(
bushels smaller than the record cror
of 1915.
Almost all of the crops were worth
more this year than in any previou:
year because Of the high prices paic
to producers. Corn's value was more
than three and one-half billion dol
lars, wheat almost two billions, la!
and cotton more than billion and ole
half, and oats more than billion.
