The Valley of Virginia as a Wheat
Producing, Region,

The following interesting statistics appear in
the Stauntonl IaHey T'rgHiaa:
The counties Of Augusta, Rockingham, Shen-
andoab, Page Warren, Frederick, Clarke, JEFF
fersou and Berkeley, constitute the Valley Of
the Shenandoah.
These nine counties produced in 1860, &C
cordiug 70 the United States census, 2,25O, $50
bushels Of wheat-more than oue-sixth Of the
whole crop Of the State which was IS, $50, 977
bushels, placing the State the 5th in the Union
in that product. The crop of this Valley was
about one-eightjeth of the whole crop of the
United States aud Territories it was ], JIG, 79S
bushels more than was raised in the six New
England States, and p ,9O3 bushels more than
the total Of the six New England States with
Delaware, Kansas, Florida, Louisiana and the
District Of Columbia: it exceeded the crop Of
either Of the following eighteen States, viz
Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachu-
sets, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Jersey,
Delaware, South Carolina, Florida, Texas,
Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama. Kansas, Min
nescta. Oregon or Louisiana. The average of
the crop Of this Valley was rs bushels to each
inbabitant; the average Of the United States
being 81 bushels; Of the New England States
IIt quarts; Of the Middle States >? bushels.
and Of the great wheat States Of the West 10
bushels
Not more than J Of this region is under Gull
tivation and i-s entire population was only $50,
$50. think it doubtful if as satisfactory re-
suits can be found in any other portion Of this
country in the cultivation Of this bread-grain
Of enlightened man
In addition, says the Richmond Uhig it will
be observed that the counties named comprise
only portion Of those that constitute what is
known as the Valley Of Virginia. Rockbrilgc
Botetourt, Roanoke, &c, are splendid wheat
producing districts IT. instead of one-third
the whole Of the lands Of these fertile counties
were under cultivation, and their population,
instead Of a hundred and thirty thousand
numbered a million. both Of which things men
now miiile-aged viii live to see, the reader
may by the rule Of proportion approximate
what the product Of wheat would be.
