CROP AND STOCK
REPORT FOR STATE
Season OF 1919 Not SO Favorable For
Crops In South Dakota As
1918

The preliminary sugveg of South
Dakota's and the Nations livestock
supply having been completed by the
u. 8. Bureau of Crop Estimates, while
the aggregate crop values were secur-
ed In December, this is a propitious
time to reflect on the States agricul-
tural wealth
The season of 1919 was not so fav-
orable for grain and especially GER
cal crops in South Dakota as was the
season of 1918, probably excepting
corn which was not so large a crop
as the previous year but of much high
err quality.
In 1918 South Dakota rose to the
18th place in the value of crops pro-
dlced in the United States. In 1919
her place is the 22d.
1t is we'll to bear in mind that such
a rank is hardly doing the state JUS
tice. since the size or area is not CIV
Ell consideration.
IL we may compare the wealth of
south Dakota with that of the entire
United States, then do we appreciate
the bountiful returns to the farmers
of this state.
The total aggregate wealth produce
ed by 13 crops for the year 1918 in
the United States was found to be
Sill .127, 1853, 900; in 1919 this valuation
was increased, largely because of the
increased valuation of the different
production, to $12,421,3 42, 900.
The livestock valuations for those
two years were respectively, $S.S27,-
$4,000 and $S,561,443, 900. If we are
permitted to assume a hypothetical
figure of 10 million population for
the Nation, this would indicate that
in 1918 the United States produced a
wealh of $101.16 in crops per capita
AMI $S0.25 in livestock per capita or
a total OF $1S1.41.
In 1919 the per capita production in
crops was $t12 .92 and in livestock
$HaS3, on a total production Of $780,
Is ror each man, woman and child in
the Nation.
Comparing this with our W State
of South Dakota, we find that the
| crop prouced in 1918 amounted to
1857, 522, 900 and in that year the live
stock amounted to $751; 1861, 900 or a
:otai per capita production OF about
1904.
In 1919 South Dakota's crops were
not quite so bountiful and the total
valuation was placed at Z 1884, 900
with a livestock valuation of $214,-
931, 200. averaging $1,000 even for each
man, woman and child in the State.
This is assuming that the states pop
ulation is approximately COG. 1000, as
several authorities have claimed.
1t is rue that it is hardly fair to
say that the livestock valuation Is all
new wealth created in the one year,
we know this is impossible. The
comparison is merely made for illus
~trative purposes. This high per capita
production is of curse attained be-
cause of the fact that sch a large
percentage of the states population
is farmers and since we have no large
cities.
