VIRGINIA CROPS
SHOW Big LOSSES
Drop in Prices, Late Freezes
And Drought Cause 43
Per Cent Loss.

STRASBURG. Va, Jan. 1.-THE
total value for VirGinia's principal
crops for 1921 was s115.332.OOO, a
decrease of AZ per cent from 1920.
and SIS per cent less than in 1919.
according to the final report Of the
u. S. Bureau of Markets and Crop
Estimates.
The tremendous decrease in value
of crops is due largely to the de-
cline in prices and the reduced yield
caused by the very unfavorable
season In addition. the year was
one of the most disastrous Virginia
has ever experienced. The late
freezes and frosts last spring al
most destroyed the fruit crops and
injured the wheat. and the severe
drought during the summer and
early fall cut he yield Of all crops,
especially tobacco, corn and pea
nuts. Nirginia's standing among
the States of the Union. according
to the value of all crops. dropped
from 2lst place in 1920 to 26th in
1921.
The total area in cultivation has
decreased since 1919, largely owing
to the reduction in wheat acreage,
and the return to pasture of much
land that had been cultivated dur
ing the war. Corn is still the lead
ing crop. both in acreage and value.
