declined very slightly, and produce
tion OF 1,427, $50 600 is now expected,
this being 100. 100000 less than last
year. but 1871, 100000 greater than the
average. But slight reserves of old
oats were on hand in Virginia July 1,
being only one per cent. of the pre-

half the usual reserve. The reserve
supply in the United States as a whole
| is 81 per cent, very slightly below
! the average.

less than in 1917. but $500 greater
| below the average.

! fifteen. This was Il smaller crop than
was realized last year by $4,000
| bushels, but greater than the average
| by 1880 The quality is good, 90.
being reported at SO compared with
! % last year, which was average.
| The total production of rye in the
| United States Is estimated at 1900
| 600 bushels, almost 100000 great
er than last year. ana 32,000.00o
! greater than the fve-year average
| crop. The increase was due TO in
| creased paintings, the yield being two
bushels below the average.

/ last year. 33, 600 acres, compared with
| an average of "a, 0e0 for the preced-
| ing five years. The crop being most
| ly grown in the southwestern district.
| which has had an ample moisture sup
! ply the present season, the condition
is high. A production Of $4,000
