Nebraska noids tnird place among the great corn producing states in the final government report on crop yields for 1925 Iowa ccmes first with a corn crop estimated at 478,000.000 bushels; Illinois second with 388, 000.000 bushels and Nebraska third with 236.000,000 bushels. Missouri and Indiana are credited with 201.000,000 bushels each, Ohio with 177.000.000 bushels. Minnesota I 156,000,000 bushels and Kansas wfth j 104,000,000 bushel?. All other states are below the 100,000,000 bushel mark The total yield for the United States on the final estimate is placed at 2,90,000,000 bushels, compared to the final estimate of 2,312,000,000 bushels in 1924, an increase of nearly 600,000,000 bushels. Revised Acreage Estimate The final estimate on the corn crop and the reduction of nearly 113,000. 000 bushels from the November esti mate, was based on revised acreage estimates and on hU3kfng returns as reported from the rarious states. It is probably as accurate as such re ports can be made with the facilities at the command of the department of agriculture and is generally ac cepted as closely approximating the actual yield for the last year. The figures for nearly all the states , have had to be revised since the esti- mates made earlier in the fall when te dry weather of July and August seriously threatened the crop in many states. The Nebraska corn crop was estimated at 195,000,000 bushels in the August report, but each suc ceeding month snowed marked im provement in the condition of the crop, until final returns Justified the estimate of 236,000,000 bushels, one 'of the largest crops ever produced in the state. This crop was produced on about 8,500,000 acres compared to 10,500.000 acres in Illinois and 11,500,000 acres in Iowa. Crop Above Average The crop in the eastern, northern, and part of the western section of Nebraska was above the average, but there were sections in the central and southwestern parts of the state where the rains came too late to make an average yield. If conditions had been favorable in these dry sec tions Nebraska would have surpassed all previous corn yields. The 1925 crop on the final estimate, is about 16,000.000 above the 10-year aver age and 45,000,000 bushels above the final figures for 1924.
