The Judiciary is now the only perplex-
ing question which is TO come before the
convention. So in the course of a couple /
of months at farthest, we may look for
their adjournment.
Up TO the Goth instant, the Convention |
still had under discussion, the clause of the
constitution providing for the organization
of the State Senate. and fixing Senatorial
representation. No action on either point
of the subject up to the evening of the
above date.
VALUE OF THE PRoDUcE OF DIFFERENT
STATES. From the annual report of the |
Commissioner of Patents, to which we
have already alluded as most valuable
document, and of which we are Glad TO
see the Congress has ordered some 10000
copies 10 be printed, we compile the follow
| ing facts, founded upon estimates about the
agricultural produce of 1914.
Of Wheat there were produced 65 mil
lions of bushels, worth perhaps on an ave-
rage rs cents per bushel, equal 10 ST.
25C,0O0. OF this quantity, Ohio produc-
ed the largest, say about Is millions; New
York comes next with about fifteen mil
lions; Virginia and Pennsylvania raised
about the same quantity each--between
10 and ii millions Tennessee comes
next with near millions, and then Iadia-
ma with Sd. Michigan is next, II millions,
being more than Maryland by more than
quarter of a million.
Of Oats, there were raised 172 millions
bushels. In this grain, New York takes
the lead considerably, producing over 81
j millions. Pennsylvania, 24 millions, Ohio
20 millions, Virginia, II millions, Ken
lucky, Indiana, and Illinois, each between
10 and - millions. The value of this
crop at an average of 90 cents per bushsl,
would be $34,000,000.
Of Indian Corn there were raised 422
millions Of bushels, equal at % cents per
bushel, TO $l05 100000. Tennessee is by
far the largest raiser of this grain-being
down in the table. for 81 millions bushels;
Kentucky and Ohio each raise about IS
millions, and Virginia 80, Indiana "a,
North Carolina, Georgia, and Alabama
about % each, New York, Pennsylvania,
and Illinois, about 8 each, South Carolina
and Missouri about Is each. 1t is main
| ly, therefore,, a product of the South and
Southwest.
Of Potatoes, the crop is put at Zoo mil
lions bushels, worth at 90 cents, S20,0O0,-
i NJ, H.
l23, Pennsylvania Z, Vermont 6, Michi-
gan 81, Massachusetts. New Hampshire
and Ohio, nearly 5 each.
OF Hay. there were II million ions,
worth, at Sc per ton, 100000, 900: the
second most valuable product of Ameri-
can agriculture, doubling that of cotton,
as will be seen below. New York raises
about 5 million tons; Pennsylvania, Indi-
ana and Ohio, about 2 millions each;
Maine and Vermont, II millions each;
Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Con-
nccticut, from 10 100000 lbs. each;
New Jersey and Illinois, about $4,000
each, and Virginia 1000.
OF Cotton, the crop is put at 872 mil
lion pounds, equal, at six cents per b., at
$52,226,000. Georgia raises the largest
quantily-2l3 million pounds; Mississippi,
1875 millions; Louisiana, I54 millions
Alabama, 140 millions; North Carolina,
81 millions; South Carolina, 40, and
Tennessee. 80, Arkansas, IA, Florida 8
millions.
OF Sugar, the estimate is for 20l mil
lion pounds, equal, at % cents per b., 10
So, 100000. Louisiana produces lG0 NIL,
lion pounds, and the next highest is Indi-
ana, with her maple sugar, "a millions:
) Ohio and Vermont each produce about Al
millions.
OF Rice there are II millions pounds.
South Carolina has almost a monopoly oi
: this staple, raising about 81 millions lbs
Georgia raises between II and Is millions
and Louisiana about FIVE millions.
OF Tobacco, there are grown about | 50
millions pounds. Kentucky takes the eac
: in this article, raising about So millions
q Tennessee and Virginia each raises about
SO millions; Missouri 70. Ohio 6, anc
Q Maryland not much over half million
6 pounds.
From this estimate of the quantity ane
: value of the chief agricultural crops O
f the United States, it results that Indiar
: Corn is the most valuable of all our pro
:. ducts. Hay comes next, and only just be
!, low. Its value exceeds that of Wheat
: which comes third, about so per cert, AM
? doubles that of Cotton, which stand
: fourth. Oats stand fifth and potatoes sixth
