CORN TOPPER
CENT ON JULY |
Growth of IOwa's Corn
Crop Thus far has Sell
dom Been Approach
ed Says Report.
OATS NOT so GOOD
Corn Crop Forecast for
State is 442,04O,O0O
Bushels.

| Des Moines, Iowa, July 11.-The
growth of IOwa's corn crop thus far
has seldom been approached, according
to the monthly report issued today by
Frank s. Pinney, agricultural statisti.
clan for Iowa of, the United States de-
partment of agricultures bureau of
crop estimates.
The preliminary report Oh acreage is
placed at 1O,197.OOO acres, compared
with 100000 acres harvested last
year, and 100000 acres two years
ago. Correspondents of this services
reported a growing condition of 1O2
per cent Of normal on July 1. This
high growing condition forecasts an
average yield of 43.3 bushels an acre,
or a total production of 442,040,000
bushels, compared with 473,SOO, 900
bushels harvested last year and 49,
OOO, 900 bushels harvested in 1910. The
sub-sOil moisture is believed to be
sufficient except in a strip of territory
extending from Hancock county south
east to Jefferson county, and from the
extreme northwestern counties south to
Shelby county, according to the reports
of the cooperative observers of the
weather bureau. The growth of the
crop is in advance by about fifteen
days, compared with the usual growth.
Oats Suffer.
Oats were materially reduced in vi
tality by the late freeze of April 16,
irregular showers during June fol-
lowed by excessive heat, causing the
ground to bake badly, added further
injury to the crop, pulling down the
condition fully eight points from its
June condition. With condition of
50 per cent July 1, indicating fore
cast of 34.4 bushels per acre, there is
prospect for 2O9,Os5, 600 bushels, COM
pared with 229,s66,OOO bushels har-
vested last year, and 1876, 1S2,OOO
bushels harvested two years ago.
Winter wheat in Iowa was favored
with mild winter, and good growing
weather during the spring months, de-
veloping strong vigor which to a con-
siderable extent Offset the excessive
heat of June. With less vitality the
crop would have suffered materially.
The condition on July l was So per
cent of normal forecasting an average
yield of 2112 bushels an acre, or
total production Of S,913OO0 bushels,
compared with S,491,O 900 bushels har~
vested last year, and 1850, 900 bushels
harvested two years ago.
Spring wheat in Iowa suffered badly
during June on account of the ex-
cessive heat, the condition dropping
from 80 per cent on June to 81 per
cent cent on July /, which forecasts an
average yield per acre of 14.17 bushels,
or total production of 4.536.OOO
bushels, compared with 4,52OOOO
bushels harvested last year. Further
investigation may make 1t necessary to
reduce the acreage estimate for this
year.
