While Other Crops Are
About Average

washington, July l2.-(R)-Ameri-
can farms will show a decrease in
wheat production this year but an in
crease in corn, the United States de-
partment of agriculture has predict
ed.
1t estimated the corn harvest, on
the basis of conditions July /, would
approximate 1895, $4,000 bushels COM
pared with asst, 100000 bushels las

year; durum 54,745,000 bushels this
year compared with 100000 last

able production of all wheat was
placed at 737.O00,00o compared with
1894, 900 900 in 1881.
The prospects point to a yield of all
crops not far from the average of re-
cent years. the department estimated.

for sharply lower production of wheat,
beans and tobacco, a materially "a
creased production of feed grains, a
hay crop only slightly below average,
a moderately light crop of fruits, a
potato crop about the same as that
of last year and supply of CONNER
