CORN CROP

Because of the favorable conditions
which have prevailed throughout the
month of September, the United
States bureau of crop estimates now
places the South Dakota production
of corn at los, 1872, 900 bushels. This
production is almost identical with
the banner crop of 1918, being 1000
bushels greater than that years crop.
The ideal weather experienced during
the month has done much in the ma
turing and drying Of the grain. There
is only n area in the state which
has suffered severely this season.
This area includes parts of Dawson,
Hanson, McCook. Douglas, and Hutch
inson counties, where the damage due
to excess moisture in June was never
fully recovered from. Grant county
also had too much rain. The yield
is estimated at 1922 bushels per acre.
The national corn crop is found to
be 3,216, 1872, 900 bushels. an improve
ment from n month ago of about
$4,000, 900 bushels. No doubt weather,
which has been favorable in South
Dakota has also been favorable in
the rest of the corn belt of the United
States. This is now the banner corn
crop of the nation, 1912 formerly had
produced the leading crop but the
production of that year is o ex-
ceeded this year by 81, 500. 900 bushels.
This same survey reveals South Da.
kota's crop Of spring wheat to be
26,504, 900 bushels. This is 1900, 900
bushels greater than the September
LIST estimate. The change is no doubt
entirely due to more definite informa,
ton as the entire crop has practically
been threshed for some time. The
quality is placed at $500 and the yield
at 8 bushels per acre. In marketing,

the wheat grades between AZ pounds
and so pounds per measured bushel
| Tbs crop is now about 5000, OOO
bushels below the crop of 1919, in fact
it is the smallest spring wheat crop
produced since previous to 1912. Only
very small scattered areas have any
wheat of good quality this year.
1t is estimated that $3.50 Of the
wheat which goes to market has al
ready been marketed.
The United States wheat crop is
placed at 218, 007, 900 bushels, an i'm.
provement of 1885,, 900 bushels since
the report released September 1st.
Most of this improvement IS no doubt
due to additional and more reliable
information received. This is an ay-
erage yield for the nation of liz
bushels per acre.
The same information which has
been gathered indicates a reduction
in South Dakota's a crop of 1902
600 bushels from the September LIST
estimate. The production is now
placed at SO, 900, 900 bushelsf with a
yield of "a bushels per acre and a
quality of 94R. The same portions
of the state which have suffered adj
verse conditions as regards their corn
crop have also produced a poor oat
crop, viz, the central eastern part of
the state. The West river country is
especially favored in their oat crop
this year.
The United States oat crop is now
estimated at 1,444, 1862, 900 bushels, an
improvement of 1923, 900 bushels from
the prospect of one month ago. The
yield is placed at 1852 bushels per
acre with a quality of 1880. This
production is the largest since 1918,
but is 8 1900, 900 bushels less than the
production that year and is also con-
siderable less than the 1917 crop. 1t
should however more than meet the
nations requirement.
1t has nov been found that potatoes
averaged 100 DuSnelS per acre in
South Dakota or a total production of
1923 500 bushels. Here, there is a
shrinkage of nearly 300, 900 bushels
from the estimate made on Septem-
Der l. However, the prospective crop
exceeds the production of one year
ago by nor than 5000, 900 bushels,
according to the best information.
The production is however, approx
amtely 1000, 900 bushels less than was
produced in 1913 but 400, 900 bushels
more than the 1917 crop.
The United States production of po-
tatoes was found to be 414. 1885, 900
bushels. This is more than $1,000. 900
bushels greater than the crop pro
duced in 1919, but is only about A.
900, 900 bushels greater than the final
estimates in 1918 and about $4,000, 900
bushels less than the crop produced
in 1917. The average of the five pre-

mitted the harvesting of THIS crop
without any frost damage, even to
the latest sown fields. Additional in
formation has caused a reduction in
the estimate of this crop of about
$4,000 bushels for the state. This Is
the largest fax crop produced within
recent years. The constantly imin'
fishing acreage is the cause of the
usual decline.
