OHIo-THE LAND OF BREAD.-.The
quantity Of wheat which Ohio raised
is 1850 is Sc, down at thirty millions
Of bushels-an amount sufficient to
supply not only all the wants Of that
State, but leave surplus of eighteen
millions of bushels. The consumption
of each individual is about six bushels
annually. Ohio has about two mil.
lions Of inhabitants; consequently
twelve millions of bushels are enough
for the consumption Of the Sta,e.-
Allowing the price Of seventy five
cents per busheI. the overplus is worth
over Mi, teen millions Of dollars. In
addition to this. the corn raised is
equal to one hundred bushels to each
person in the State. The surplus Of
these two articles is equal in va ue to
twenty-five millions of dollars. This
shows what an agricultural State with
fertile land can do. when its labor is
not diverted into Improbable chan.
nels' or interfered with by bad gov.
