IndianCorn.

One Of the most interesting features Of tls
recent report of the Agricultural Bureau ;s
its statement with reIereuce to the produe,iou
OF Indian corn IN the various States.
BY this report 1t is seen that while the gen
eral average of the whole crop is unusually
large this ysar, there is decrease in several
Of the Northern aud Western States and
counterbalancIng increase in the Suuthern
This increase ranges in the South from nipetv
TO upwards OF one hundred per cent. This is
important, as showing the changes of tho
production Oecasioned bv the revelation in
the system OF labor at the South, owing 10 the
war and the emancipation of the slaves Tho
slave cultivated cotton, rice aud sugar per
force, Tor his master. The freedman cult.
Yates corn for himself The capitalist finds
the ce:eal crop quicker and more re,nuper.
ntive one under the present system, and
though the former special staple may continue
to be grown, there will be vast and steady
increase in the grain production of the South
Tor the future, and We believe cOrrespondipr
increase IN Its commercial prosperity and en-
terprise.
When it is considered that the average
crop of corn in this country is more than
double the aggregate amount of all the cereals
put together. some estimate NAV oe formed
OF the value OF this staple TO the districts
capable of producing it. The variations in
this production during the last twenty five
years, in the different States, furnishes a
suggestive theme for speculation to the econc-
mist, In ls40. for instance. Tennessee was tho
greatest corn-prvducing State in the Union.
In 1850 Ohio gained the lead. In 1860
Illinois took it. Kentucky was second. and
Virginia third in 1910 In 1850 Illinois
stepped ahead of both; in 1860 Missouri ad-
vanced to the rank, leaving Virginia and
Kentucky behind. Illinois nrw produces
one seventh Of all the corn raised in the States
and Territories of the Union.
In New England there has been decrease
in this production during the last ten years,
averaging one bushel to each inhabitant and,
even before the war. production of corn in the
Southern States, in proportion to population,
was ten times the am' uut of that grown in
New England.-Fdrm' 6 Fl, cS,dc.
