Washington. ? Farmers contributed
approximately $21,000,000,000 to the
wealth of the nation this year in the
production of grain and other farm
products, far exceeding any other year
in the history of the country. Of this
immense total the corn crop leads with
an estimated value of $4,053,672,000.
The oats crop is valued at $1,061,427,000;
wheat at $S4S,372,D00, and potatoes
at $543,865,000.
Final report on the crops has just
been issued by the department of agriculture,
and it showed that with the

established records in production. A
big wheat area was planted, but severe
winter killing cut down the crop heavily.
Cotton was caught by an early
frost and suffered a sensational loss
of approximately 1,000,000 bales from
early estimates. A late season and
early frosts hurt the corn crop, but
imore in point of quality than quantity,
and there is more soft corn in the
country this year than ever before.
| 1,000,000,000 Bushels in Excess.
Nearly 1,000,000,000 bushels more
grain was raised than in 1916. The
t ; final estimate shows a total production
fe of 5,606,728,000 bushels of the five

14,686,253,000 bushels last year, and is
close to the record aggregate produc

I The total wheat yield is given as
650,828,000 bushels, compared with
636318,000 bushels last year, and 806,361,000
bushels, the 1911-15 average.
Corn production is estimated al (
3,159,494,000 bushels, about 31,000,000
bushels under the preliminary figure
and compared with 2,566,927,000 bush- ;
els raised in 1916. The five-year average
was 2,754,164,000 bushels and the
previous bumper crop in 1912 was
3,124,746,000 bushels.
The yield of oats was also a record
one and is given as 1,587,286,000 bush>
els, compared with 1,251,837,000 bush
L els last year. The five-year average
i was 1,230,499,000 bushels.

of 41,399,000 bushels.
The barley crop is finally estimated
at 208,975,000 bushels, against 182,309,000
bushels last year.
The bumper potato crop is maintained
in the final report; in fact the
figure of 442,336,000 bushels is a little <
in excess of the preliminary estimate
and compares with 286,953,000 bushels
last year. 5
