Ane SrsP OF ASb7..ErroFs IN the Es.
innate.
We published few days ago an estimate
OF the crop Of 1857 in the nine grea. grain
growing states Of the West, made by the
CINCINNATI Gasetts. That paper has rep.
utation for accuracy and care in its Stats
tics which we bslieve is generally well.de-
served, and We published its article, in COM
mon with many Of our contemporaries, with.
out any particular reflection. An examiua.
ton Of its tables, however, has shown
US that they are extremely faulty, in respect
OF Iowa and Wisconsin, and the estimate for
those two States is far below the mark
How it may be with regard to the other
states,-Oho, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan,
Missouri, Kentucky and Tennessee, we
have little means Of judging, but presume
they are pretty accurately estimated, with
the exception of Illinois, as the error with
regard to Iowa and Wisconsin is in under.
estimating, and the rest Of the States men
toned have improved so little, comparative.
iy, that similar error in respect Of them il
less liable 70 be made. But we believe Hi.
nois has been considerably under estimated
Also. For instance, Illinois is Get down 70,
1.ooo,ooo bushels Of corn this year, agains,
51,c50,o00 bushels 10 ls49. II the ratio al
production 70 population holds good still, mi.
nos ought this year to produce nearly 100.
$4,000 bushels Of corn; and Of wheat. near.
10000, 900 bushels, instead Of 10 900 coo
as the Gazette estimates.
The Gazette estimates Iowa for this yea,
at 2o,OoO, 600 bushels OF corn, and 900 .,sf
bushels OF wheat. Iowa las. year produced
3l,l63,36o bushels OF corn, and .4Ce SIC
bushels Of wheat, and we presume the corr
crop Tor 1857 win reach COCO, 900 bushels
and the whea, crop $1,000, zoo. Wisconsin
is estimated at 100000 bushels OF xhes,
and 100000 bushels Of corn, for the
current year. The corn crop We presume i.
iuliy estimated, and very probably /, il ,s.
timatcd TO high but the wheat crop shoul,
ana probably will reach full 200, 600 bush.
sis, the proportion Of population and pro.
ouc,ion, a. compared with ls49, holdinf
good.
II these figures Of ours IRE right. in IN,
three States Of Illinois, Iowa and Wisconsin
,he aggregate estimate for corn il S. 600 .Ont
bushels too low, and for wheat lO.ool' Ont
bushels too low. We believe the harye.
WI show that these crops have been under
estimated to that extent.
