turns out to b only 45.O00.0OU bushels behind the big yield of 1909 and has been exceeded but four times in the nation's history. The great states of the Mississippi Valley have rolled out fatness galore, breaking the record for acreage and yield of corn and promising the country fat hogs without limit. While the tabulated figures show that the corn yield is a trille below the 3,Q00,O00,00Obushel mark, this report was made up only to October 1. Since that data even tho stragglers of the 1910 corn crop have come under the safety line. The Novembor report w!h taue note of these and will also tell tho country that many millions of bush-
elB of the crop of 1909 aro still on
hand. This old corn will ratten tho juveniles of tho swine family that
were not In evidence previous to last spring nnd summer. The present corn crop is 205,000,000 bushels larger than that of last year and is over 50,000,000 bushels larger than the previous bumper crop that of 1900 which was 2,927,000.000 bushels. Tho states south of tho Ohio river and tho Missouri and Kansas lines have raised more than a round billion of bushels of corn, something heretofore unheard of. The south will have hog and hominy In profusion and a good bunch of corn for export
The export promise for tho northern corn Is also good. It is in high favor
abroad, but It will havo to compete
with comparatively low priced Argen
tine corn that Is now being headed toward Europe at a rate of 3,000.000 to
4,000.000 bushels a week.
Until last year a crop of a billion
bushels of oats In America was un
known. This year there Is a good
healthy start on the second billion, the offlcial preliminary estimate for
1910 making the yield 1,096,000,000
uushels. in addition to being the lare
est crop of oats ever grown, the quality Is exceptionally fine nnd tho weight per bushel is among the heaviest ever
recorded. There Is plenty of feed for
all of the animals In need of tho grain In this country, in addition to largo quantities available "for export pro
