Fruit and Farm
s:,!;;Ii;;;ii;;;;;;;:;;;

In the years when cotton lint was
sold by farmers at low price, and
when cotton seed was little used and
was more likely a waste and a nui-
sance, the cotton crop was outranked
IN value by corn, hay and usually by
wheat, so that it was commonly the
fourth crop in order of value. BY
1899 cotton had taken precedence OF
the wheat crop, although the eXcep-
tional situation during the first two
years of the present war gave wheat
the higher place. Gradually the cot
ton crop, lint and seed, climbed over
the great hay crop, and thus has cot
ton become in recent years second
only to corn.
The corn crop of the United States
is by far the most valuable agricul-
tural produce. When the colonists
at Jamestown and Plymouth were
saved from starvation by the corn
provided by the Indians, this was a
common Indian crop east of the great
plains, and its annual production at
that time has been estimated to have
been possibly 100000 bushels.
Corn at once became the mainstay
of the agriculture of the whites, and
the value of this crop, at farm prices,
according to the estimate of the U.
s. department of agriculture reach
ed the extraordinary total of $4,O54,-
100000 in 1917 for 3,159, 700, 900
bushels, the largest and most valua-
BILE crop of corn ever grown. The
cotton crop is next below in value.
with an estimated production of 10,-
$4,000 bales of 500 pounds weight
worth at the farm $1,51S,OOO,O00.
When 1927, 100000 is added for seed
the aggregate value Of the cotton Of
1917, at farm prices, becomes ST.
