VALUE or THE PRODUCE DIFFERENT STATES
From the Annual Report OF the Commissioner OF Pa
tents, to which we have already alluded most
valuable document and of which we glad to see
Congress has ordered SO 600 copies to be print
ed We compile he following facts founded upon esti-
mates about the agricultural produce Of 1914.
" Wheat there were produced nintty,fpe million
bushels, worth perhaps on an average IS cents per
bushe equal to ST. 100000. or this quantity Ohio
produced the largest, say about 10 100000 bushels
New York comes next with about fifteen million
Virginia and Pennsy lvana raised about the same
quantity each-between ten and eleven Millions
tennessee comes next with millions
| and then Indiana with five and half Michigan is
next, four and quarter Millions being more than
Maryland Ivy nearly quarter Of a million.
" Oats, there were raised one hundred and
| ty-two millions and one quarter bushels. In this
| grain New York takes the lead considerably DO
ducing over 81 900 900, Pennsylvania "a Millions
Ohio 20 millions, Virginia IA millions, Kentucky In
diana and Illinois, each between 10 and ~ millions.
The value of this crop at average of 20 cents per
bushel would be S34 100000
Of Indian Corn there raised 422 million bush
els, equal at % cents per bushe to 1867 millions of
dollars.
Tennessee by far the largest raiser of this grain
being down in the table for 81 million bushels
Kentucky and Ohio each raise about as millions and
Virginia 80, Indiana "a, North Carolina Georgia and
Alabama about ~ each, New York, Pennsylvania
and Illinois about 10 each, South Carolina and Mis-
souri, about Is each 1t is mainly, therefore, pro-
duct Of the South and Southwest.
Of Potatoes, the crop is put at 100 million bushels
worth, at 20 cents, $4,000, 900. New York raises
IL million, Maine l2k, Pennsylvania T. Vermont g.
Michigan 81, Massachusetts,, New Hampshire and
Ohio nearly each.
Of Hay, there were II million tons, worth at Sc
per ton, SlO2 00O, 900 the second most valuable pro-
duct OF American agriculture, doubling that of cot
ton, as will be seen below.
New York raises about million tons Pennsy-
yania, Indiana and Ohio, about millions each :
Maine and Vermont, , millions each Massachu-
sets, New Hampshire and Connecticut, from TO
7000 900 lbs. each New Jersey and Illinois, abou,
315, 600 each, and Virginia 444 900.
OF Cotton, the crop is put at S72 million pounds
equal at six cents per To-, to So, 226 900 Georgia
raises the largest quantity-2l million pounds Mis-
sissrpi, 1875 millions; Louisiana, I54 millions Ala
bama, l40 millions; North Carolina, 81 millions;
South Carolina 40, and Tennessee 80; Arkansas, a.
Florida millions
OF Sugar, the estimate is for 20l million pounds,
equal, q cents per h., to IS 900, 900. Louisiana
produces l6O million pounds, and the next highest is
Indiana, with her maple sugar, millions: lio and
Vermont each produce about 4, millions.
OF Rice there Ill million pounds
South Carolina has almost monopoly of this state
raising about 81 million pounds. Georgia raises be-
tween II and Is millions, and Louisiana abou, five
millions.
Of Tobacco, there grown about 1852 million
pounds.
Kentucky takes the lead in this article raising
about SO millions; Tennessee and Virginia each rails.
es about 80 Millions Missouri ~, Ohio g. and Mary
land not much over half million pounds
From this estimate of the quantity and value of the
chief agricultural crops ofthe United States it results
that Indian Corn is the most valuable of all our pro-
ducts. Hay comes next, and only Just below Its
value exceeds that of Wheat, which comes third
about so per cent. and doubles that OF Cotton which
stands fourth. Oats stand fifth and Potatoes sixth
