CORN IS KING
IN NEBRASKA
Yield Estimated at 34 Bushels Ter
Acre, Total of Quarter Bil
lion in State.
A corn crop ranking first in both
yield and production since 1005
leaves no argument to the fact that
"corn is kins" in Nebraska this year.
According to the November 1 repor:
of A. K. Anderson of the bureau of
imp estimates and Leo Stuhr of the
department of agriculture, the pre
liminary estimate of yield is 3 4 bush
els per acre. Last year the yield
was i'tf.2 bushels and the ten year
average is 23.7 bushels. The total
production is 2S0.MSS.000 bushels as
compared to 1 S4.1 Sti.000 bushels last
ear and the ten year average of ITS.
"o:!.o(iO bushels. This year's crop
tanks fifth in size sunce 1S65.
Kven though this year's corn crop
is approximately 36.1 per cent larg
er than last year's production, its to
fal value is about 3 2 per cent less
based upon prices now and a year
ago.
Hurt. Dodge. Douglas and Fillmore
counties si.are alike in first honors
with average yields of 45 bushels
per acre. Other counties averaging
40 fo 44 bushels are Dakota. Stanton.
Hamilton. Sarpy. Saunders. Seward
and Washington. The quality is
gfcnerally gcod although there was
slight damage to some late corn
from frost. The quality as well a.
yields was reduced somewhat from
drcuth in north central counties.
Approximately 7 per cent of last
year's crop is still on farms.
The average weight per measured
bushel of winter wheat is 57.5
pounds: spring wheat 53 pounds,
oats 33.3 pounds; and barley 47
pounds. The light tests of wheat,
peculiarly spring wheat are due u
shrinkage caused by black stem ills-
Potatoes average 07 bushels pe:
a.-re a(- ordir.g to the preliminary es
timate of yield. Last year they av
eraged ."." bushels. The total pro
dui tion is 10. OSS. ooo bushels as con'
pared to the ten year aerate of 3.
5;2.000 bushels. Some of the coun
ties have lower yields than expected.
The average yield of flax is S bush
els. The condition of sugar beets at
the time of harvest was 100 per cent
The total production af apples is 4i
per cent. "
The condition of most of the win
ter wheat and rye is excellent. Win
ter wheat was damaged by droutl
and hi.2h winds in some of the coun
ties. ,
Preliminary estimates for tli
1'ni'ted States are as follows: Coin
3.10TM2G.OOO bushels compared t
2.:17.4 5O:Oi0 bushels last year ami
2.7Sj.iJ4.ri.ot'0 bushels the 1014-H
