CROPS VALUE SEVEN BILLIONS
Farm Products Were Worth $780,.
$4,000 More Than Last Year.

Washington - The nations crops
this year are worth $7,572,890,000,
based on their farm value as of De-
ce1nher /, the Department of Agricul-
ture announced in its final crop re-
port Of the year.
Their value is $1,S42,973, 900 more
than last years crops, rejecting i'm
provement in prices for farm products
prevailing now as compared with a
year ago and increased production in
some crops. This years farm produc'
zion is worth about the same as that
Of 1916, but is lower than 1920 by
about $1,5O0,O 100000 and lower than
my year since 1915, except last year.
It is only little more than half as
much as the record value year of
