FAIDING CONDITIONS D001). Except iI Cottont Growing States Farmers are Experlencing Prosperi ty. The Farmers' Bulletin No. Gil un der the title "Tihe Agricultural Out look," has been received from the United States depaitnent of agricul ture and it shows the country as a whole to be in excellent shape; but shows the South to be suffering bad ly on account of the low price of Cotton,. Thie prelmiairy est iate of crop production this year inlcate that the aggregate per acre yields of all crops will be about 9.-4 per cent: Ia rger than last year's yield. t~bout. 2.3 per cent. larger than their 10-year aver age, hut nearly 5 per cent smaller than in 1912, which y'ear stands as the record for large crop yIelds. The early part of' the liesent setason was rathe' tin fa vorable to crop growth, the early summer being severely hot and dry in many state. As the sea son progressed, however prospects improved and the final outturn of crops is better thant had been fore cast at any lime (luring tile growing season. The Improving tendency of the season may be seen from the monthly forecast of production from the condition reports. From July 1 to the time of harvest nearly all crops showed an enlari'gement in tile prodctclion forecast. Most crops have produced larger yields this year than last year, in portait except ions beiig flaxseed and clover send. The total p'roduiction of corn this year is expected to be about 10.6 per cent, larger than last year's total prodiuctiol. 0he wieat clop 16.S per cent harger, ot, 1.6 pl ce'it larger, bariley 10.3 ptI ceit lar'gri, buckwheat 2:1.1 per cent larger, po tatoes 22.G pr cent large', isweet potatoEs 5.1 :er emt smaller, hay 7 per eent larger, cotton bete(eln S and S pet' cent larr, tohbaco n'hout 3 per cent larger, apples about 7.S per cent larger, sugar beets. 9 'per cent smaller, and flaxseed 10.5 per cent smaller than the total production of last year. Prices which producers are receiv ing for grain crops are somewhat higher than received from last year's erops, notwithstanding increased pro duction, but there has been a consid erable decline in potatoes an apples. and a marked decline in the price of cotton. On the basis of prices pre valling on November 1, 1911, and on November 1, 1913, the total valua tion of crop production in 1914 of 12 leading crops is 2.1 per cent higher tlis year than last year. As a result of the war in E'urope, a world-wide tendency exists to in crease the acreage of wheat for the 1915 harvest. If prevailing sentiment should be realized doubtless the most extensive area in the history of the world will be seeded during the pres ent autumn and coming spring. The tendency is universal. A prospective heavy demand for this important food grain by the importing countries of western Europe is likely, if seed ing conditions favor, to give extra ordinary stimulus to sowings of both winter and spring varieties in the two great exporting countries of North America, and to thoso sowing now being finished under auspicious circunstances In British India. In the southern hemisphere seeding was completed before the war began, and the effect of present economic condi tions upon extension of areas there will be .manifest only in the spring and summer of 1915. It is pertinent to note, however, that the extent of land now u1ldir wheat ii .\rgentina for the approaching Im idwinter har vest is, owing to a wet seedtime 761, 000 acres less tiam that of last year and tiat the growing Ansiait crop has been so reduced by drougiht that there will he little or iole for export. * * . ***** .*.
