Little ROck.-The report OF the De.
partment of Agriculture released
through the Federal State Bureau of
Crop Estimates today, indicates much
larger reserves in grain than last
year, or in average years, both in the
state and in the country at large. The
large yields Of grain and feed, the
open winter, decreased foreign de-
mand, and less live stock on hand TO
feed, account for the large amount on
hand. The figures on cash rents
paid for land is a new inquiry,
and a general average for the state
may vary widely for the figures in any
particular county Through most Cf
the state cash rents are not paid the
usual consideration being either one
third of the grain and onefourth Of
the cotton, or straight share crop
ping The figures on land values |
show a shrinkage from the high fg- !
ures OF last year, but they are gener-
ally in excess of those Of 1919.
