WASHINGTON.
Interesting Exhibit by the National
Bureau of Agriculture.

WASHINGTON, September 30. - The
wheat growing States report the following
per centage of increase of the closing
harvest: Ohio 100, Indiana $50, Michigan
80, Minnesota %, Wisconsin II, Illinois
II, Iowa 20, Missouri 40, Kentucky "a,
West Virginia 60, Virginia so, Tennessee
40, Georgia 80, Arkansas As, New York
Ia, and Pennsylvania 40. Only Kansas
and Texas show a falling off from
last year, when the crops of those States
were very large. The returns due October
LIST will enable us to estimate with great
accuracy the amount of thecrops for the
current year. The prospect for corn
continues to improve, and if frost holds
off, the crop may be a fair one. The
whole number of States return low esti-
mates; others, particularly Southern
States, show marked improvement over
last year. Cotton promised we'll up to
September LIST, when worms were APP
pearing and much apprehension felt
in various sections for its safety.
Of cotton growing States, extracts from
correspondence show that Georgia is
promised a yield of SO per cent beyond
fthe crop of 1866, South Carolina so,
Alabama AZ, Mississippi "a, Arkansas Is,
while Louisiana and Texas show a con-
siderable falling off from last year.
