government Report

The corn crop is attracting more
attention than wheat at present
and shows unusual promise for this
time of the year. The acreage is
1O2, 100000 compared with ll3, S35,
600 acres as given in July year
ago. If present conditions is main
tanned to harvest the crop would be
around 3,25o,000,000 which will set
a new record. The winter wheat
yield will exceed all records but
spring wheat is short and is below
expectations, especially in no-spring
wheat states where farmers in an
effort to get the 1926 guaranteed
by the government have over
reached themselves.
