On December 18th, the Department
of Agriculture issued its final esti-
mates on the crops of 1918. The
figures in bushels are:-Corn, $685.
$4,000; winter wheat, 558,449, 900;
spring wheat, 358,651 600; all wheat,
9l7,100,000; oats, ,53s,359.000.
With a total value of $l2,272,412,-
600, the nations principal farm crops
this year were worth more, based on
prices paid to farmers December 4th,
than i'm any year in the history of
American Agriculture. The estimates
355, 1895, 722 total exceeding that of
of the Department Of Agriculture
show that this years total exceeds
that of the former record year of
1917, by $614,3S0OO0. There also
was a marked increase in acreage, the
last year by 100000 acres.
Most of the crops are larger than
the five year average, and some of
them established records, practically
spring wheat, barley, rye and tobacco.
Corn however fell below the five year
average. The estimates place the
crop at 166,384,0OO bushels less than
forecast in November, with total of
1852, $4,000 bushels. This is almost
half billion bushels less than last
years record crop.
Ill Ln
more this year than in any previous
year because of the high prices paid
to producers.
For next year huge winter wheat
crop, larger by 80,000,00O bushels
than any other Yield in the history
of American agriculture, is now pre-
dicted by the Department of Agri-
culture.
The Governments appeal, made be-
fore the coming of peace was in sight,
saying an acreage of 47,500,000 was
desirable, and the guaranteed price
of 1920 bushel for wheat, has slim
ulated extraordinary efforts on the
part OF farmers. AS a result 4S,UZI,
900 acres were planted during long
and almost perfect season, 1853 per
cent larger than last years acreage.
The fall growing season has been
one of the finest ever known, result
ing in the crop being in the best con-
dition ever recorded on December !,
and giving promise of heavy yields.
Winter wheat gives promise of a
total production Of 100000 bushels
An average spring wheat crop would
place next years production of wheat
beyond billion bushels and exceed
the record of 1915.
