Shortage Of Yield.

Tobacco will still be the crop on
which the Virginia planters will de-
bend for money this year despite the
failing markets and Shortages in tho
yield predicted by the State aud Fed
"ral agricultural bureaus.
4 According TO Il scale OF percent
ages of the various crops that arc
chiefly grown and marketed in this
state. tobacco leads them all with
80 per cent. This indicates that 6nly
per cent of the crop is retained by
the grower for personal use.
only about 10 per cent Of the corn
is marketed annually by the farm
crs. because great deal Of il is
held back from the market for the
feeding of live stock or for grinding
into meal.
The statistics show that about 20
per cent of the wheat crop is put on
the market for the manufacture Of
Hour. 30 per cent hcinl7 kept by the
