BY the Associated Press.
While farmers of the country have
planted slightly larger acreageS TO their
principal crops, as compared with iast
year, there are indications, the Depart
ment Of Agriculture announces In COM
menting on the July crop report. that
the increased acreages may be more
than offset by lower yields per acre. The
composite condition of the IS principal
crops on July was So per cent below
their average of the last 10 years on
the date. -,
Corn production as now indicated will
he 2.735,6l7, 900 bushels, and the total
crop of wheat, combining Spring and
Winter varieties. will be 799,937 900
bushels. That production would be
slightly under the five-year average.
The oats crop promises to be slightly
larger than last year while barley pro-
duction is indicated as record crop,
exceeding the previous largest produc-
ton by ii per cent.
There has been an increase OF more
than per cent in the area planted to
white potatoes which. with average
weather conditions, Is expected to pro-
duce 444, 900 900 bushels, That would
be the second largest crop ever grown,
There are always indications the de-
nartment said, that part OF this years
crop may not be dug,
A fairly heavy fruit production Is In
Dictated. with an unusually large proper
tion of the total crop In the Pacific
Coast States. Apples will be about
third more than last years short crop,
while peaches promise to be almost half
again as large as last years.
California reports excellent prospects

NEW YORK, July ll.--Stocks on the

those on the big board by establish

itself felt in the motors. mining issues,
utilities. the oils and in host OF IN
dustrials in the speciality category

The largest decline occurred IN TUB

because of the high selling price ana
the fact that the market harbored only
a small floating supply. At SIS the

prosperity of the farm implement in

TRIED SOWS SHOULD
BE USED FOR BREEDING

Old sows may be r..ore profitable
than gifts for next springs crop of
pigs, says E. F. Ferrin of the animal
husbandry department at University
Farm.
"The spring pigs grown this year
have had very scanty grain allow
ances, consequently most of the gifts
are small and understood" he says.
''These gifts are more miniature and
undeveloped than during ordinary
seasons. The filters from gifts such
as these are apt to be disappointing
next spring.
"On some farms there are thin
sows still in the prime of breeding eff
ficiency that have not yet been
fattened for market because of the
scarcity of grain during the summer.
These sows will yield good profit
if bred to farrow next spring, pro-
viding they take the place of the
understood gifts. The sows can be
bred to farrow earlier than the gifts
and accordingly late narrowing of
next years crop can be avoided.
"A yearling or two-year-old sow
will farrow and raise more pigs than
a gilt because she is a selected brood
SOW. There is always an uncertainty
as to how a gilt will suckle her litter,
while the old sows which have been
disappointing go to market. On the
average from one and one-half to two
pigs more per litter can be raised to
weaving age from tried sows than
from gifts"
