The wheat crop of Wayne county this

The wheat crop Of Wayne county this
year may be estimated as follows:
There are 100 section, Of land in The
county. Each of these sections 10 aver
aye six farms: each of those farms to pro-
ducc 10 acres of wheat; each OF those
acres 10 produce 90 bushels. These sew
craluunbers multiplied together show The
aggregate amount Of wheat in bushels to
be $50 900. equal TO 10000 hbls llour.
Now, in order to ascertain The proper
tonal amount Of flour. according to the
above, showing. that will be required for
home consumption. together with the
year. we will assume $4,000 persons "a
the number of resident consumers of the
district under review. and that il requires
five bushels Of wheat. or one barrel o.
flour for each consumer: making 1000
bbis as the required amount. Again. we
will assume that it will require 50 600
of acres the coming season, which is
equal to 1000 bis of flour We will mex,
deduct these two amounts from the ayrre :
gate product. as shown above. and we
have G2,OOo bills -four for export. We
will again assume that this flour vii com.
mand in the Cincinnati market. after de.
Quoting the cost of Dbl and transportation
the sum of s. 90 per Dbl: making the sum
of S1G6, 900. Again, to ascertain the
amount of toll wheat. we will deduct from
the $50 900 bushels 80 900. being the
amount set apart for seeding. which leaves
AS 900 bushels. upon which toll is chary
able at the rate OF one eighth Tins
shows the toll to amount to 30 CD bush
els. equal TO l112t bills flour. which. al
$500 per Dbl. makes the sum Of $50 375
Add this amount To the 1886 900 and we
show the sum total to be 2l9 SO as the
