FOURTH LARGEST YEAR
Kansas Farm Productions In 1921
Close to Top

In the aggregate Of farm prOduc'
tions the year 1921 stands high In
the annals Of Kansas, the total value
of crop yields being the fourth larg-
est In the last eight years, a period
embracing the states record prOduc'
tions. In the aggregate OF values
however, the year just closed shows
tremendous decrease, and Is the
lowest since 1912.
These are the outstanding state
ments in the final 1921 report issued
by ]. c. MOhler, secretary OF the
STAGE Board Of Agriculture.
The estimated value of all Kansas
farm products in 1921, exclusive OF
livestock on hand, amounts to $351,-
$4,000, as against $500. 900 for
1920 and as compared to the states
record value of $746.619,OOO In
1919. and the 5-year annual average
1916-192O) Of $5S3,296,OO0. Live.
stock on the farms as of March ! is
estimated as worth s1S4. 10000
compared to $2S3,259,000 In 1920
and is the lowest since 1906.
Last years wheat yield OF l2s,'
1O1 500 bushels was the state
fourth largest crop, and ranks sixth
in value.
The corn yield of 06,4S4,OOC
bushels was nearly 15,OOO,OOO bush
els more than the annual average
nroduction for the five years 1915.
1920. but it's value Of $27, ,761 ,OO(
was less than the average for this
five year period by $54,517,0OO, ant
