PRICE OF FARM CROPS
BELOW PREWAR AVERAGE

The prices of six of the important
crops on May 1 of this year were
below the prewar average prices for
that date, according to figures col
lected by the Bureau of Crop Es-
Inmates, United States Department of
Agriculture. These crops are corn,
oats, barley, flax, potatoes and cot
ton The report showed that the
prices of the three grains-wheat,
rye and buckwheat-were above the
prewar average prices. During April
the average price of wheat declined
from S1.5O to $1.23 per bushel. The
report shows that in general the ind
dustrial crops, such as flax, cotton
and broom corn. are the most de-
pressed in price and that food crops,
such as wheat, rye. potatoes and
apples, show relatively less decline.
The prices in various parts of the
country vary, with South Dakota be-
ing the center of the low-price dis
trict, the May 1 report shows. The
average price of wheat in that state
counties it was as low as 20 cents.
Corn was selling at an average price
of 80 cents per bushel in South Da-
kota, while the average price for the
United States was nearly 60 cents.
The price of oats was 90 cents per
bushel in South Dakota, the average
for the United States being 36.S
cents. The report showed a big de-
cline in the price of old potatoes, es-
pecially in Michigan. where the av-
erage was 29 cents per bushel, which
was 20 cents below the average for
the United States.
