THE CERIALs OF THE UNITED STATEs.-The
New York Post says: Although the wheat
crop has not decreased in its actual amount,
it has not increased in proportion to the in
crease of population. In New England its
culture is rapidly declining, while in the
middle States it is merely stationary, and our
chief supplies now come from the northwest
ern district. In New York, tae crop in 1910
was over twelve millions of bushels, while
in 1850, it was but nine millons-a decrease
OF twenty-five per cent. With regard TO
the products of the entire country without
! alluding to any particular State we find that
rye, oats, Irish and sweet potatoes, hay and
tobacco have steadily decreased. Hops have
increased at the rate of five hundred per
cent, owing to the enormous consumption of
lager beer. Rice has increased at the rate
Of nearly three hundred per cent In 1910
the cotton produced amounted to eight hun
dred and eighty millions of pounds, in 1850
to nine hundred and eighty millions, in 1855
to one billion and lightweight millions. But
the great staple production of the United
States, far surprising in amount even our
famed wheat, cotton and tobacco-is Indian
corn. Its cultivation has retrograded in no
State, and the crop may be roughly estima-
ted at four hundred millions of bushels in
lS40, six hundred millions of bushels in 1850.
over seven hundred millions in 1855, and
fully eight hundred millions in 1856. The
increase of the present year will doubtless
be very large.
