The image above is example (11). It is a head of four decks and is followed by the opening paragraphs of the story it heads. The top deck is a drop-line head of two parts with 14½ and 14½ unit letters respectively. It says | CROP PRODUCTION | ON THE INCREASE |
The second deck is a pyramid of three parts which say | Special Government Report Gives | Definite Information on the | Greatest Corn Crop. |
The third deck is a cross-line head which says | OTHER REPORTS LATER |
The fourth deck, like the second, is a pyramid of three parts which say | Report Gives Potatoes an In- | crease of Almost Double | Over Last Year. | The word | Increase | in the head is split over two lines.
Part of the opening paragraph of the story follows. The remainder of that paragraph plus the second paragraph are contained in an image at the top of the next page. The part displayed here says | WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 8.—A corn crop of 3,169,137,000 bu., or 281,921,000 bu. more than the greatest crop of corn ever grown in any country of the world is the feature of the country’s most remarkable agricultural year in history according to the November crop report of the United States department of agriculture |
The image above is the continuation of paragraph text from the previous page. It says | issued on Friday. The report completed the government’s preliminary estimates of the nation’s principal farm crops. This great crop of corn was worth on Nov. 1 to the farmers $1,850,776,000. | The enormous sum of $4,171,134,000 represented the farm value on Nov. 1 of the United States crops of corn, hay, wheat, oats, potatoes, barley, flaxseed, rye and buckwheat. With the value of the growing cotton crop, and the crops of tobacco, rice and apples, the aggregate value of these principal farm products will amount well beyond $5,000,000,000. |
