Tho report states that there In a gonornl agreement throughout tho country that tho cotton crop will bo next -to tho lnrgest ono In pro duction nnd Is HI'oly to exceed tho nvorago crop of tho llvo preceding years. It Is estimated that tho lint cotton of 1912 may bo worth $73C,000,000, an amount thnt oxceedB that of 1911, although tho crop of that year was much greator than this year's crop. Tho need out of tho cotton crop of thlB year Is estimated to bo worth about $117,000,910, or over 0 per cent nioro than tho live-year average, but Its vnluo has been oxceeded by tho crops of three pre ceding yenrs. Tho combined vnluo of tho cotton Hut nnd seed Is es timated to bo $860,000,000, or about one-half tho value of the corn crop and a llttlo less than tho valuo of tho hay crop. In valuo as well aH In production tho cotton crop of this year has been exceed ed by only ono year, and that was 1911 for production nnd 1910 for vnluo. Tho whent crop Is estimated to ho worth $C90,000,000, an amount which was oxceeded by tho valuo of tho crops of 1909 and 1908. but no othor yenr. Tho quantity of ho crop, 720,333,000 bushels, Is 11.2 per cent greater than the av erage production of tho previous five yearH nnd linn boon exceeded by tho crops of only two yenrs, It Is only in, 000,000 bushels below Uio next higher crop nnd only 28, OOd.OOO buslioln below the highest production. Tho oats crop Is fifth In order 'if valuo. Although tho prlco has declined, tho production Is so enor mous that tho valuo of tho crop ls "titlnmtod to bo $478,000,000, or a llttlo moro than one-half the valuo of tho ontlro cotton crop, Tho re mnrlinblo production of 1,117,172, 000 bushels, wns 51.5 per cont 'tenter than tho nvorago of tho preceding llvo years. Tho potnto crop Is another ono of highest production. Its 411. 289,000 biiBhela aro nbnvo tho five voar avorago by 29 per cont, but tho crop Is worth only $190,000,000 on account of low prices. Threo iirovloim smallor crops hnvo been more valuable. With a production of 224.C19, 000 bushels, tho barley crop far exceeds tho largest ono horotoforo produced. It Is 35.7 por cont ihovo tho nvorago production of tho flvo preceding years. Tho val ue of this ycar'B crop, $125,000, 000, Is below tho valuo of tho crop if 1911, although tho production of thnt year was 04,000,000 bush els loss. Tho tobacco crop lins not qulto rlson to tho high lovol of produc tion of most of tho other crops, yot It amounts to 959,437,000 pounds md Is 7.1 por cont abovo tho av erage of tho preceding flvo years. Tho prlco has rlson somowhnt, bo hnt tho total valuo of tho crop. $97,000,000. is about 11 por cent abovo tho flvo-yenr avorago. Flaxseed is tho most valunblo of tho smnllor crops, tho nmount for this yenr being nbout $39,000,000, ir 32.4 per cont abovo tho aver go vnluo of tho flvo procedlng crops. Tho production Is 29,755, 000 bushols. Hyo Is ono of tho crops that re main nearly stationary In produc tion. This yoar'B crop contains 35, 122,000 bushols and la tho lnrgest no producod. Irs valuo ls $24, 000.000. , Tho rlco crop Is about 8 to 10 por cont above tho avorago produc tion nnd would hnvo been much grontor had It not beon damaged by tho Mississippi river freshet. Tho valuo may amount to moro than $20,000,000. Tho buckwheat crop Is tho larg est slnco 18C8 nnd amounts to 19. 124.000 bushols, worth $12,000,000. Extraordinary conditions of tho world's hop markot In 1911, on account of deficient European pro duction, have not beon repeated this year. It Is estimated that the crop of 44.500.000 pounds Is worth about $11,000,000. All of tho coreals oxcopt wheat and rlco, produced tholr largest crops In 1912 and, Including those crops, nindo a gain of 25.6 per cent abovo tho flvo year average.

The cane sugar Industry fnrcd badly on account of the Mississippi river flood. Tho production of sugar is tho lowest slnco 1899. and the value of all tho products of tho Industry Is only about $24,000, If to tho value of the products of tho beet nnd enno sugar Indus tries nro ndded tho valuo of tho sorghum sirup nnd maplo sugar and Blrup made on fnnns, tho totnl Is about $117,000,000. Tho year 1912 was a record breaking ono for crop production and crop values. Only two crops had been exceeded twlco In formor production, nnd these nro wheat and tobacco. Only two crops had been oxceeded onco In production, and these nro cotton and rlco. All ot tho other crops stand at high water mark all of tho coreals but wheat and rice, tho great nay crop, potatoes, flaxseed and beet sugar. With respect to value, tho only crops that have been exceeded three times are potatoes and cot ton seed. Tho crops exceeded twlco In valuo aro wheat, cotton seed, tobacco nnd rye, nnd tho crops thnt have been exceeded onco In vnluo aro cotton lint, beet sugar, and buckwheat. All tho other crops reached their highest value In 1912, nnd these Includo nil of tho cereals except wheat and rye, tho prominent liny crop, flax seed and beet-sugar by-prodtictB. Live Stock Products. Tho dairy cow Is ono of tho prin cipal producers of wealth on the farm and tho vnluo of hor pro ducts In 1912 Is cstlmntcd nt about $830,000.0000. an nmount which exceeds tho vnluo of tho cot ton lint nnd la nonrly equal to tho combined valuo ow Hnt nnd sood. Tho wheat crop Is worth only 3-4 as much as the dairy products. The mngnltiido of tho poultry In dustry Is sot forth. An egg mny bo worth only u cent nnd throo quartors, and yet 1.700,000,000 dozen eggs nro worth $350,000,000, nnd these nro tho estimates for 1912. ir to tho va'uo mentioned is ndded tho valuo of tho fowls rais ed, tho products of tho poultry in dustry on farms amounts to nbout $570,000,000. This Is nonrly equal to tho valuo of tho wheat crop and Is moro than three-fourths of tho value of tho cotton lint produced this year. Tho animals sold from tho farm and tho animals slaughtered on It togother number nbout 111,000,000, nnd the farm vnluo of theso ani mals Is estimated nt $1,930,000, 000. Tho total valuo of tho nnlmnl products of tho farm In 1912 Is cstlmntcd to bo nbout $3, 31)5, 000, 000. This Is n larger vnluo than that of 1911, but Is about $150, 000,000 below tho cfitlmnto for 1910, which Is tho only year that oxceeds 1912 In valuo of nnlmnl products produced on farms. Whllo nnlmnl products nro about one-third of tho wealth production on farms In 1912, tho crops nro nbout two-thirds. Their valuo Is $6,137,000,000, nn amount which Is vnstly abovo tho high wator mark of total crop valuo In 1911. (Dec. 61 The Early Shopper Is the Friend of the Tired Shop Girl.
