lion bushel corn crop for the thlirdI
time in the history of the country

tions existing August 1. Inasmiuch a~st
August is thle critical m1onith for the
crop mn thle great Corn, belt of tilt
Middle West, it is uncertain whethec
tle- promise of a crop almost equal to o
UI
.e enormous ones of 10,12 and 1917 b
will be ufuliled. Improvement was b
reported during July in the importantb
corn States, with the exception of Illi
nois, and as a result a crop forecast11
of 224,000,000 bushels larger thtan that 1
predicted July I1a sud

durmng July, principally by rust andl tIo
production forecast of the crop was fo
reduced 29,000,000 bushels from a ha
bush ago or to a total] of 262,000 .000h
The preliminary estimate of winterla
wheat production was 15,000,000 bush- t
eIS larger than forecast in July, mak- ot
mng thle combined crop of winter aind )t
sprmg, wheat only 14,000,000 bushels fl
smaller than estimated a1 monthao.l
