Of III 100000 bushels was allowed for

fore, the condition of the corn crop is
maintained as of August l the esti-
mate ON September / will be advanced
to the amount indicated, while in or
der to reduce the crop below the figures
given the loss would have to be in ex-
cess OF the average loss for August
The principal losses so far are claimed
to be in Texas, where the crop was Civ
en- at only 99,000,000 bushels on August
i; III Oklahoma, where it was estimat-
ed at 24,S00,000 bushels; in Kansas.
where it is estimated at $4,000 900
bushels, with some damage in Missouri
and some in Nebraska. If the crop in
the other sections of the country were
maintained and Texas, Oklahoma and

little reduction in the yield compared
