CORN CROP GREATEST IN
HISTORY OF NATION.
WASHINGTON. Sept. Il. :

WASHINGTON, Sept. IL. :
The greatest corn crop in the
country's history is in prospect
for this years harvest. Fore
cast of production based on Sep
tember l conditions was placed
at 3, 131, 900, 600 bushels today by
the Department of Agriculture.
Such a yield would exceed by
100000 bushels the previous
largest crop on record. which
was 1912. A crop of even lar
ger proportions will be harvested
if frosts hold off until late and
permit maturity of much late
