The crops of three years have exceeded this, but only the crop of one year (1006) exceeded It very much. Th» value of the crop Is estimated at $1,- 615,000,000. The price of corn Is ex ceptionally high. There are only two years In which the farm price of this crop was as high as It Is for this year. In 1881 the price was 63.6 cents; In 1901, when there was only two-thirds of an ordinary crop, the price was 60.5 cents. The total value of this crop is by far the highest ever reach ed. The crop of 1902 was worth a bil lion dollars, and the crops of 1904, 1905 and 1906 were worth $100.000.000 more; the great Increase of $300,000,- 000 over the crop of 1902 was made In 1907, and now the Increase is $600,000,- 000—equal to the gold in the treasury of a rich nation.
