These figures will be very differently viewed by
different people and, as indications Of the future,
very different inferences will be drawn from them.
They exhibit extensive changes in the agricultural
condition of the country, which have attended
period Of painful transition, and have to great ex-
tent resulted from it. They can scarcely be con-
sidered otherwise than favorable in regard to pro-
duction. They indicate, by the incre ise Of large
FARMS the increasing investment OF capital in agri-
culture, and the abandonment Of that unskilled
husbandry which attended minute subdivision of
the land without capital. The increase Of live
stock the larger farms is direct consequence of
this change. more careful consid ,ration, or
fuller knowledge, of the peculiarites Of the
soil and climate Of Ireland, would probably
arise from the same cause, by directing higher in
telligence to cultivation. This at present appears
leading to the increase Of fax, Of green crops, and
Of oats, in preference to other cereal produce;
while, on the WHOLE in spite Of . series Of bad and
indifferent seasons, there is an increased quantity
Of land brought. into tillage, and an increased
amount Of live stock maintained In the country
These changes have been concurrent with a rapid
decrease of the population. There can be little
doubt from what class Of the community the defec-
tion has taken place, and the agricultural changes
which, there is reason to believe, had already be-
gun, have been, doubtless, precpitatcd or FASTENED
by that detection. The present agricultural con-
dition Of the country Il more favorable than that
which IL has replaced, or Is replacing and Ia re-

who have left our shores have also improved their

the increase in the cultivation of potatoes has been
chiefly amongst the small farmers. Other green
crops have increased with all ella ses, and flax has
advanced most in proportonate extent, in the class

In the rates of produce a material reduction is
observable in wheat and potatoes, whereas oats and
barley exhibit slight improvement. The varying
Mates Of produce in the same localities in different
years, and the accident which places some districts
high as wheat growing counties, though not re-
maIkable for the richness Of their soil, show the
great uncertainty in the produce of this crop in Ire
land. In l8i7 and 1919, the county of Louth stood
highest in the rate Of wheat produce; in 1913, Lon
donderry and Wicklow, and in 1850, Fermanagh
and Sligo. In oats, Dublin held the highest place
