The season in the southeast was so favorable to corn that the yield | will average twenty-two bushels per acre, or somewhat more than in pre- vious years. vield of fourteen bushels per acre is slightly more than two years ago, compared with twenty last year. The total crop of the southeast is, therefore expected to be very close to 600 millions of bushels, or about 100 millions more than last year or two years ago. The drouth in the southwest was 8o serious as to make the year’s crop of 166 millions only about the same size as two years 'ago. compared to 239 millions last | year, The South, as a whole, will this year. This is slightly in excess of last year’s bonanza total, but over 100. millions more than two yeafs ago. Florida’s crop of 700,000 acres of corn is slightly more than last year, according to Southern Farming’s preliminary report. The yield now looks like an average of fifteen bush- els per acre, compared to fifteen or eighteen the last two years. The total amount of corn produced in Florida this season will be ahout 11,- 000,000, which is two millions more than two years agzo. Bnut corn may be worth 90 cents a bushel this year, compared to 79 and 80 the past two years, will make a crop worth $10,000,000, compared with $7,000,000 the last two years.—Tampa Tribune. + FOURTH ANNUAL CITRUS SEMINAR ' pay the interest on these new bonds.
