BIG CORN CROP
 IN ARKANSAS
Rice Reduced, Melons Good. This State Ranks Next to California as a Cantaloupe Producer With an esti- mated Shipment of 1400 Cars.

The salient features of the July crop report just issued by Charles S Bou- , ton, statistician, and Jim G. Ferguson, commissioner of agriculture for the Arkansas cooperative crop reporting service are the fine prospective corn crop, which promises to be next to the largest on record; the increase in both Irsih and sweet potatoes; the decrease in rice acreage, amounting to 36 per cent, and the prospects for cantaloupcs and watermelons
 It will be also notAl thac in coln parison with month ago there has been a slight improvement In the con dition of most crops.
 Partially offsetting the shrinkage of over 90,O0O acres in the states cotton crop there has been a :ah of 40I 00O acres in the corn c op, In other words l Arkansas farmers have increased the corn acreage by r per cent. making the total now in cultivation, 2,78l COG acres. The condition )f 90 is some seven points higher thaa the ten-year acreage and ten points IF 've that of last year. It indicates a yield of twenty two bushels per acre and to- tai production of 6O,746000 bushels. If realized. it will be the second largest corn crop in the history of the state. or next to that of 1917.
 The state apparently has an 1n- crease of 15 per cent in sweet potatoes. The approximate planted acreage is 57 300. While it is too early to make reliable forecast of production, the reported condition of 89 per cent in- dicates theoretically a yield of 1O6 bushels pc racre and total production of 6.95,OOO bushels.
 The cut nthe rice crop Is drastic, amounting to 36 per cent. The acre age in 1920 was the largest in the his tory of the state, amounting to 1S9,OOO planted acres This year the amount seeded is 121 0O0. The condition figure indicates yield of II 1-3 bushels to the acre and a total production or ! OO1 GOO bushels.
 The cantaloupe crop condition has improved remarkably, owing to season able rains and good growing weather. T. ,or,, Iool,s as if the 10 GOO acres in the state would produce between 1900 and l 400 carloads, but this depends somewhat upon marketing conditions and the percentage of the crop that will be gathered.
 With good returns the crop will be picked close, but with low prices much may be left in the fields. Arkansas now ranks second place in cantaloupes California being first. Shipments are now moving. Statse Press.
