Indicated Corn Crop Of U.S.
mm A ah! mm
Means Acreage Allotments
WASHINGTON, IP) The agricultural department, Jn its next
iu last report. 01 me year, estimates this year s corn crop at
3,357,618,000 bushels.
This is 119,368,000 bushels less than the 3,476,986,000 forecast
a monin ago.
It compares with last year's
record crop of 3,650,548,000
bushels and with the ten year
(193847) average of 2,787,628,000
bushels.
The indicated crop is consider
ably larger than prospective
needs. This fact will require the
department to impose acreage al
lotments on the 1950 crop to cut
production ana to prevent a bur
densome surplus.
