Production Is Estimated nt 3,580,951,000 llushcls This Year, or More Than the Entire Corn Crop of the World Last Year llnncst Will Last Till the Snow IHca-llood Price Assured. Washington, Sept. H. In thu history of the cereal production there has never boon such itn enormous crop 'ol corn as Is being gathorod In tho United States this year. It will aggregate 2,689,. 951,000 IhuIioIk, or morn than tho outlro torn crop ol the world .for 1001. Tho corn raised In tho United States will bo sulllciont to supply Iho needs ot tho world for this and nuxt year, oton should there bo n total failure In 1903, says tho Now York Sun. Corn harvesting Is now In progress In tho United States, and not until snow tiles In December will this enormous task lw ended. Even then farmers further South will not havo finished husking tho golden oars standing I their fields ot brown. They know it mnkea littlo difference so far prices nio concerned. A record ol sales ot corn In tho pnxt 10 rears shows that tl.o hlgbost prices aro ob tained In late tall and wlntor, and that prices are 25 per cent below tho aor- ago immediately alter tho gathering ol tho crop begins In thu early autumn, Last year tlio corn burned as it stood ripening in tho fields just a few week before it had matured, but this season thoro have been no droughts in tho corn section. Nor havo there been any uoods 01 n general nature. Iho weath er, in faul, has lieon Ideal far corn growing. Tho stalks hate grown rank tho ears havo spread and lengthened until ll'.lucli earn anil 16-foot stalk are not uncommon in tho com belts Tho crop of 1901 fell short of tho ex poctud yield bj 40 iier cent. This yes it goes ahead of the predicted yield by 10 or 16 iior cent. Eiuht states last year did not raleo enough corn for homo consumption. Tho exports fell short 8,000,000 buthcls. The yield was only 10 bushels to the acre, and 4,000,000 acres wero not cut at all. In 1890 th average yield was 28 bushels to tho ncro, except in Kansas, where It was 40 bushels. Kansas last year averaged 10 bushels or less to tho acre. Thu ucreagu of corn this year Is much larger than last. It Is 3 ior cent more or 10.,809,928 acres. This largo acreage la duo to tho lact that three and one- half million acres of wheat, sown thn precceding fall, had been frozen out and wero ploughed up for corn. Con fvqucntly, thorn 3,000,000 acres, which are largely in Kansas, Nebraska and Iowa, will not yield their ownors much profit, if any. The cost ol the wheat ploughed up was $0 au acre, and tho cost of the corn $5. The yield must therefore, lie ubovu 30 bushels and yield 40 cents a bushel to profit at all This is lmpro!ab!o. So 3 per cent ol tho corn crop will yield nothing above tho expenso ot sowing and gathering it, Tho principal corn states are those ol the Mlddlo and Central states. The summers aro too long for good corn production In the South, and It is too droughty in the far Southwest for cer tain yields. Illinois is the leading corn stato, but Kansas, Iowa, Indiana .Missouri and Iteuraska aro big corn producers. HUNT HEADS THU TICKET. Present Democratic Governor of Idaho Is Again Nominated.
