IMMENSE CROPS
THREATEN PRICE
CUT TO FARMER
Cotton, Corn and Wheat
Yields Above SO Level
By EDWARD B. LOCKETT

~ GD"ANSO d. AONNG
dNS)-Bountiful Mother Ma.
ture is now in the lush process of
Showering near record crops in the
three big money commodities of
agriculture-cotton, corn and
wheat upon the American
farmer.
Automatically, when crops are
big, prices are low, and vice versa.
Thus, Agriculture Department
officials said today, this country
Is faced with a situation not
greatly unlike the swollen carry.
over granaries, corn cribs and
cotton warehouses of 1888. True,
the surplus will not attain the
proportions then existent.
Back to Beginning
Nevertheless, they are destined
to be large, and they start this
country's economic system back
toward the point where President
Roosevelt began with his crop
control policies and his much be.
labored economy OF scarcity"
Plans for crop control in the
future are snarled in a tangled
congressional situation, but this
makes no difference to the land
and the rain and the wind. Come
farm legislation or no, bumper
crops are here.
Latest figures from the Crop Re-
porting Board estimated a corn
crop of 100000 bushels, more
than a billion above last years
figure.
For cotton, the Crop Reporting
Board predicted a production total
bigger than any of the last six
years, and the largest wheat corp
in a decade is approaching harvest.
Crops Are Large
A 1888, O00-bale cotton crop
was forecast.
A wheat crop Of 890,419, 900
bushels is in store, compared with
626,461 last year.
These figures, say Agriculture
officials, inevitably mean sagging
prices.
The huge corn crop will add
to carryover from last year,
which was 156,O00,000 bushels
on July /, and which emerged,
incidentally, from a last years
crop a billion bushels less than
this years total.
Carry-Overs Large
The cotton carry-over in July
was 100000 bales out of a
crop much smaller than the one
now ripening. The wheat carry
over this year was 100000 900
bushels. and the wheat crop last
year was more than a quarter
of a million bushels below this
years estimated figures.
At best, solution of this vast
crop problem lies in expensive
commodity loans and pegging
operators. officials said.

Office Equipment
Active, Profitable

Evidence continues to accumu-
late that the initial half of 1897
has been one of the most profit
able, as we'll as one of the most
active of any similar period in
the history of the office equip
ment industry, according to Poor's
Industry and Investment Surveys.
General business activity, al
though displaying some seasonal
hesitation in recent weeks, con.
sistently holds above last years
levels, and there are numerous
factors which indicate that a sub
stantial fall pickup may reason
ably be expected.
Thus, a steady high volume Of
demand is indicated for office
equipment manufacturers for the
balance of the year at least.
