Excerpt from Report of the Secretary of Agriculture, 1929Growers planted a total acreage about equal to that of 1928. Yields were disappointing in practically all crops, except irrigated crops and some varieties of hay. The hay crops that turned out well made heavy growth before the drought became severe. All crops combined gave a yield per acre 7 4 per cent below that of 1928 and per cent below the average for the preceding 10 years. Lower than average yields were experienced in 29 States. The western Great Plains suffered most from the drought. Yields were reduced along the Atlantic coast from Massachusetts to North Caro lina and m all the North Central States except Wisconsin. Cali fornia and Washington suffered from drought during the winter of 1928 - 29, and California fruits were injured by a severe freeze in April. The late spring reduced yields somewhat in the other fruit producing areas, except the apple-producing sections of Virginia and West Virginia.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
