YALUE OF THE PRODUCE OF THE DIFFERENT
STATES. From the annual report OF the
Commissioner OF Patents, to which we have
already aIladed as most valuable docu'
nlent, and of which we are glad to see
tC0ngresshas ordered some $4,000 copies to
be printed, we compile the following facts,
founded upon estimates about the agricul-
tural produceef 1874:
Or WHEAT there were produced95, ,000,-
600 bushels, worth perhaps on an average
rs cents per bushel, equal to $ai $50, 900.
OF this QHuntitg Ohio produced the largest,
say about g6, 100000 bushels; New York
comes next with sbodt IS 5000 Virginia
and Pennsylvania raised about the same
quantity each between 10 and n 900 900
Tennessee comics next with nearE 100000
and then Indiana with 5,500OOo. MiJhi.
gan is next, 4,250O0O, being more than
Maryland by nearly 250O00.
tOF OATS, there were rGised 1Fa;a50i000
bushels. In this New York takes the lead
lsconsderabty, producing over $4,000, 900,
PENNSYLVANIA "a 100000; Ohio 10000, 900,
Wirginial4;O ;O0O, ,O00, Kentucky, Indiana and
Illinois, each between 70 and $4,000. 900.
The value Of this crop at an average OF %
cents per busheI would be S34;0O0,o00.
tOF INDIAN Corn, there were raised 422,-
000,000 Bdsheis, equal at 25 cents per BUSH
el to St05 100000. Tennessee is bystar
the laEes.raiser Of this grain-being down
in thetatNp for'6l ,0OO, 900 bushels; Kentuc-
ky and OHIO each raise about $4,000, 600;
Virginia 38,00O!OOO; Indiana 24O0O;OOO;
North Carolina, Georgia, and Alabama, a.
bout 22, ,0OOyJ10 each, New York, Pennsyi-
vania and Illinois about 19,O0O,O00 each,
South Carolina ind Missouri about13;O 3;OOO,-
900 each. II is'fiisinly therefore, a product
Of the South and THE South West.
OF PoTAToEs, the crop is pat at 700, ,OOO,-
900 bushels, worth, dtS0cents S2OOOO;0O0;
New York raises II millions, Maine l2a;
Pennsylvania VefnMIt. Michigan So;
Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Ohio,
nearly each.
Or Hay, there were II million tons, worth
at,$6 per ton, $l02, 100000; the second
most valuable product of American agr-
culture, doubling that Of cotton, as viii be
seen below. New York raisesdbouls5 mill
hon tons; ;Ohio, Pennsylvania, aEtIndiana
about millions each; Maine and Vermont
II millions each; Massachusetts,, New
Hampshire and Connecticut, from tofGO,-
600 pounds each; New Jersey and Illinois
about $4,000 each, and Virginia 44h, GOO.
tOF CoTToN, the crop is put at TIE million
pounds, equal, at six cents per pound, to
$50 .226,0o0 Georgia raises the largest
quantity-2l3 million pounds; Mississippi,
i95; Lousian, i154; Alabama, 14O; North
Carolina, 81; South Carolina, 48; Tennessee
SO; Arkansas, IA, and fiorida!9.
'OF SUGAR. the estimate is for POI million
pounds, equal, at "a cents per poun6, TO
s miIion'iolars. Louisiana produces j 60
million pounds, and the next highest is In
diana, with her maple sugar "a milhnns;
Ohio ana Vermont each produceab3tts Al.
'OF RICE, there are III million pdHn
South Carolina has almost monopoly Of
this staple, raising about 81 nillon'pounds.
Georgia raises between II and l8 millions,
and louisiana about S millions.
cor ToBAooo there are grown about 1852
millions pounds. Kentucky takes the lead
in hsarticie, raising about So millions; Ten
nessee and Virginia each raises about SO
millions; Missouri12, 0hio6 6, and Maryland
not mulch over half amlion pounds.
From this estimate of the quantity and
value Of the chief agricultural crOpsof the
United States, ltresults that Indian Corn
is the most valuable of all our products.-
Hay comes next, and only just below. Its
value exceeds that Of wheat, which comes
third, about5O per cent, and doubles that Of
cotton, which stands fourth. Oats stands
fifth, and potatoes sixth.-NeO World.
