These figures include all kinds Of grain
except rice, which is produced exclusively
in the disloyal States. The crop Of 1860
was 187, ,320, 58l pounds, or something
more than three millions Of bushels.
The potato crop Of the loyal States has
risen from 89, 600, 900 hashels in 1840 to
IO7, 900, 900 in $780, and from 100000
in the dislOysl States Of 1910, to A, ,00O, 900
in 1860 The number Of horses and cattle
have nearly doubled in the loyal States in
the twenty years; there being 2,9lT, 907 Of
the former in 1910, and 5,277, $50 in 1880.
or cattle there were 8, ,167. $50 in 1910, snd
$685., 107 in 1860. In the disloyal States
/ the number Of horses increased from L.
587, ,69S to 1880, 357 during the same peri
cd the increase Of cattle was at q greater
ratio than that Of the loyal States, the
number being at the two periods, respec-
lively, s, 900, 722 and Il, ,080, ,208 The South
excels in the number Of asses and mules,
but it must DO owned that the number Of
these animals is rapidly increasing in
both sections Of the country. In 1850
there we're l45,072 in the loyal States, and
S9O,457 in 1860. In the disloyal States
there we're 405, ,222 in 1850 and 88l, 384 in
1860. 1t is remarked that Of the $50, ,457
asses and mules belonging to the loyal
States, according to the last census, con-
siderably more than hslf-that is TO say,
227, ,628-were set down to Kentucky and
Missouri.
The hsy crop is one Of first rate import
ance, and the increase in the amount pro-
duced has been very great. In 1S40, ten
loyal States produced 9,968 $50 tons, and
in 1860 Is, 1904 443 tons. During the same
period, the hay crop Of the disloysl States
rose from SIS, ,221 tons to ], ,069 ,283 tons
At the average value Of $40 per ton, the
loyal crop Of 1860 was worth $3.50, ,000, 900
The cotton crop Of the South rose from
1913, ,54S bales, in 1910, to 5,192, 746 bales
in 1860. The bales are Of the uniform
weight of 400 pounds, which, at the aver
age price Of 10 cents, would be $40 per
bale; and the entire crop, at that rate, wal
worth, therefore, S207, 900 900, or some
thing more than the Northern hay crop.
The tobacco crop has greatly increased
: in quantity. In 1840 that Of the loyal
States was 96, 500, 900 pounds; in 1860 il
2 had risen to S0,000 900. The disloyal
! States produced 123, 100000 at the former
t. period, and l99, 900, 900 at the latter.
There are many other more importsn
I articles, but we will now refer only to thu
) wine crop, which is destined to rival the
: product Of France at no distant day, in
I 7 quantity, il not in quality. In 1910 the
{ crop Of the whole country was only 124,
e33 gallons It was, in 1850, 1850, 8l9
I Nine-tenths Of this product, that is to say
{ 1859, 1917 gallons, were the product Of tn
! free States.
! But remembering The general distast
> for figures, we desist from giving furthel
3 details at present. The returns for 1852
: in the main, correspond with the above fo
J, 1850, sometimes exceeding, and sometimes
