ure of Sc.

Little Rock. The September Crop
Report for Arkansas, just released by
the Bureau of Crop Estimates. shows
a continuation of the favorable fore
cast of August. The forecast for com
production IS only 100000 less in
bushels than the record crop Of 1917
Rice adm hay. the next most valuable
crops, will exceed all previous figures.
The cotton report of August 25th
showed that cotton also promised the
largest crop in the history Of the
state, but according to Mr.. Bouton, I'M
less weather conditions change so
that the very rapid deterioration is
arrested, the cotton expectation will
not be realized. Following the foar
major eropsfi one minor crop, namely,
sorghum for syrup, promises an un-
usually large production of 1,58700o
gallons.
It was also noted in the August re-
port that with the exception of wheat
peaches. pears and grapes. all the
crops named were equal to or above
their ten-year average condition. This
favorable prospect still continues.
Furthermore a comparison OF the con
ditfon figures of the % crops in the
report given for both Arkansas and
the United States, shows that In IL
of these %, Arkansas has higher
percentage than the country as
whole, though average conditions in
the Unf.ed States are also generally
above the ten-year average.
Corn-The Improvement in the
corn crop for the state during the
month was marked. especially in the
North-central, the Fast-central and
Southeast districts. From both the
Northwest and North-centra1, as well
as portions of the Westcentral, many
comments come to the effect that the
crop is the best in years. The condi-
ton of 80 is 4 points higher than
month ago, and Is points in excess of
the ten-year average The forecast is
for an average yield of over Ii bush
els to the acre and the total produc-
ton Of practically 63,0000o0 bushels
Oats-The preliminary estimate on
oats is for the average yield Of 267
bushels per acre, or total produc-
ton OF the equivalent Of 10,65o000
bushels. So much of this crop is not
thrshed but fed in the sheaf that the
estimated production is necessarily
more or less theoretical
White Potatoes-The estimates for
white or Irish potatoes are for an av-
erage weld, but with a reduced total
production on account of loss OF
acreage.
Sweet Potatoes = Sweet potatoes
promise a yield nearly equal to that
Of last years, with the condition fig
IRE Of SO.
Rice-The condition of the rice
is spotted, though the general average
OF the state Is SO. This condition fig
ure of SO forecasts an average yield
of Ala bushels, or a total production
Of 7,7S8,o0O bushels for the state,

WOOL SALE
BIDDING WAS SLOW

Offerings at the second government
wool sale at Boston. January s, totaled
11,540,0 900 pounds of wool, comprising
the following goods: $4,000 pcunde
Cape wool, 6,375,000 pounds South
American carding, $4,000 pounds
West Coast wool, and 265.000 pounds
of Iceland wool.
Bidding for Cape wool was rather
slow, although only n lot out of the
thirty offered was withdrawn. Prices
which the government realized on this
grade, however, were only a cent or
two more above the minimum set by
the wool administrator. For several
lots of CAS- clothing $1.22 a pound
clean basis was paid and $1.15 a pound
clean for 64-70s six to eight months
inferior clothing.
Bidding for the South American
wool proved to be even slower than
for Cape brand, a number of these lots
being withdrawn when prices failed to
reach the government minimum. For
Santa Cruz combing 58-56s, $1.20 to
S1.22 was paid, and for Junta Arenas
combings Sos Sill to $1.13.
Some of the larger buyers were the
Boynton Wool Securing Company,
c.. j. Webb & Co., Studley & Emery,
Winslow & Co., Inc. The American
Wooden Company also took a fair
