The announcement that the corn
crop of the United States is again
above the 8 billion bushel line lends
interest to some figures on the corn
crop of the world, compiled for the
Trade Record of The National City
Bank Of New York. These figures
show that while Our corn crop
seldom crosses the 8 billion bushel
line, the world production seldom
goes above the 4 billion buslel
mark. In other words, says the
Trade Record. we habitually pro-
duce about three-fourths of the corn
OF the world.
This proportion which we pro-
duce OF the worlds corn crop has
continued for many years. In the
10 years Since the beginning OF the
war our production OF corn was 20
billion bushels and that of the whole
world about 81 billion, making our
share of the world crop In the 10
year period since the beginning of
the war about 1875. In the 20 wears
preceding the war our crop arrre-
gated AZ billion bushels and thar
OF the world about "a billion. max.
ing our share in the prc-war period
Of 20 years about 1875.
