ports have decreased and imports
increased, in some instances as
much as 500 per cent. The total
Of imports. however, still is not
more than . per cent of American
production rs a whole.
Corn, cattle and wheat have
been the principal farm imports.
Heavy imports of Argentine corn
were necessary to supplement a
domestic crop Of l,526,O0O,OOO
bushels, the smallest. with the cx-
ception of 1884, since 1881.
Wheat production Of GIT ,233.O0O
was about the same as i'm 1885.
hut was 250.000,000 bcolw the
192S-32 average.
WHEAT TO BE IMPORTED
Despite. three years of below
normal wheat production, supplies
are adequate for domestic requirc-;
ments. Wallace said. Imports of
milling wheat. he estimated, will
not exceed 26,000,000 bushels.
Increased paintings of winter
wheat plus spring planting ,inten-
tions indicate a large 1887 crop
if weather conditions are normal.
Cotton production in 1886 will
total about IL, 100000 bales. con.
siderably more than in 1885 and
1884, but the. carry-over is the
smallest since 1880 and the world
supply is the lowest in IL years.
With prices at about IL cents a
pound, income from cotton will
be the largest since 1929, Wallace
estimated. See
Cattle and hog production, set
back BY the 1884 drouth, received
another jolt in 1896. Small pro-
duction plus higher feed prices
viii raise prices this winter to APP
proximately the l934-35 peak, 1t
is estimated. Beef cattle on farms
January /, 1887, will BE- about
100000 less than the 32,3OO,-
900 on farms last January.
DAT CROP REDUCED
Production Of oats fell from a
five-year, l928-32. average Of L.
2i5,000. 900 and 1885 production
of l.l96. 100000 bushels to 1885,
100000 bushels in 1886. Rye pro-
duction decreased from 5S,92S,-
900 bushels in 1885 to 27,095. 900
in 1886.
The tobacco crop was the small
est since 1921, with the exception
Of 1882. but higher prices have
more than offset the decreased
pro duction to l,162,637, 900
pounds in 1886. The potato crop
was somewhat smaller. decreasing
from 1873, 900 bushels in 1885
to 332,244,000 in 1896: But here,

American farmers came through
the most severe drouth on record

mated by the department of agri-
culture at S9,200.000,0O0 largest

Secretary of Agriculture Henry
A. Wallace at more than three

In terms of industrial products
bought by the farmer, the pur-

was the greatest since 1919. In

The two most important events
of the year affecting agriculture
were tho drOuth and the invalida-

Payments on 1885 contracts
