THE GREAT CRoPs-THE COMING HARVEST
The New York Journal Of Commerce, IN re-
viewing e the crop prospects, is certain that
never before In the history OF this country
have the crops gwen such promise OF plenty.
We quote:
"The hay crop. one of the most valuable is
now beyond the reach of any ordinary ca
lamity, and the yield Will be unprecedented
Our city readers can hardly understand what
an immense gam this ls to the country. During
the last season the farmers in many rural dis
tricts saw the bottom of their hay-mo for

fifty dollars per ton were often paid in the very
heart OF agricul'a aral districts largely devoted
to grass culture. The crop of 1880 was put
down in the census at little over nine teen
million tens; that of 1865, by the Agricultural
Bureau, at 81, tons, valued at S3l7, $751;
e37; but the yield Of 1867 is likely to be over
thirty million tons, gain whose importance
can hardly be overestimated. The wheat crop
of the United States for 1865 is given by
the Bureau at i51 1896, 800 bushels, valued at
&333. 773 GAG The yield this season is still sub.
iect to more contingencies than the hay CROP

yield of Indian corn for the last year was
given at s67,H6,295 bushels, valued at S59l,.

twelve hundred million bushels. Other grains,
and most OF the fruits, are equally promising
The effect Of such supply upon the finances
Of the country will be almost magical, unless
counter balanced by the grossest mismanage.
ment of national affairs We have seen a state
ment in print, intended to show that 1t made
little difference to the country whether the
yield of any specified crop was large or small,
since the price was enhanced by scarcity, and

large one. This sophistry is too apparent to
need refutation. The relief to all classes OF
