1t is interesting to compare the produC
of the wheat producing States for the N

wheat produced in the United States "
ss,bl8, 200 bushels in 1850, lOO.4S
800 bushels and in 1860, 17l,lS3,5t
bushels showing that the production
this staple has more than doubled in tive
y years. The increase has principal
been confined. however, TO the Weste
and newer States In 1860, Ohio pl
dueed bb. 300 bushels less than in lsE
aud 2.0s9. 900 bushels less than in lBl
In 1860. Pennsylvania produced S,22
500 bnshsls loss than in 1850, aud II
500 lees than in 1910. New York pl

1850, which was 4 4,440. AGO less than
1850 and 8,605, 300 less that in lS4
whereas the prediction has been mAry
ously increased in Illinois Indiana, w
