Potato Flour. Few persons in the
United States are aware of the demand
for farina, or potato flour, and Of the
almost unlimited extent of the market
that can be found for this product,
which is simply the dry, evaporated
pulp of the ordinary potato, the winter
and'more free from black specs the
better 1t is used for sizing and other
manufacturing purposes, and with the
aid of precipitation and acid is con
verified into starch In Europe it meets
a large and increasing demand, in its
primitive state, as potato flour, and in
Lancashire alone 10000 tons are anuu-
ally sold, and as many more would be
taken if put into the market When
calcined 1t is used largely for sllk-dres-
sing and other purposes.
At this time the quotation for potato
fariua in Liverpool Is little over four
cents u pound. while wheat flour is
worth about , 10 cents a pound so
that the potato flour is worth nearly
double that of the wheat at the present
rate, Consiguments to Liverpool are
solicited by the brokers there, who
promise 70 take all that can be fur
uished.

TAD LINCOLN.

Most of those who read the despatch an
nouncing the death of Thomas Todd Lincoln
will never think of the well-grown young
gentleman who died on Saturday in Chicago.
The name Of "Tad"--a pet name given by
himself with the first stammering utterances
and adopted by his fond parents and the world
recalls the tricksy little sprite who gave to
the sad and solemn White House of the great
war the only comic relief it knew. The years
that have followed, spent in study and travel,
produced an utterly different person. The
Tadd Lincoln Of our history ceased to exist
long ago. The modest and cordial young fell
low who passed through New York few
weeks ago with his mother will never be
known outside of the circle of his mourning
friends. But s'little Tad" will be remem-

CROP STATISTICS.

An examination of the July returns of the
statistical division of the Department of Ag-
riculture, shows large increase in the acreage
of corn, amounting to fully 100000, of
which 2,0OO, 900 are due to the determination
of the cotton states to supply themselves with
bread and meat. 1t is assumed that the area in
corn equals AZ, 000, 900 of acres, or more than
half the total average of titled crops. The
only states failing to increase their area in
corn are New York, the New England States
and the Pacific States. The percentage Of
increase in other states is as follows -
New Jersey, /; Pennsylvania, /; Delaware,
3; Maryland, l; Virginia, 5: North Carroll

Florida, z; Alabama, IL; Mississippi, IA;

8; Missouri, 10; Illinois, G; Indiana, A
Ohio, 8; Michigan, g.; Wisconsin, 8; Mime
sofa, IL; Iowa, 10; Kansas, so; Nebraska,
&c. The condition of winter wheat on the
LIST of July was somewhat above the average
The spring variety presented worse appear
ance than has been reported for several years
at the same date. The ripening of winter
wheat has been fully week. earlier than
usual, and large proportion has been cut at
the date of the returns. Never was there a
better promise in early spring, and the com.
parative prevalence of insects and local in
juries from drought have been the principal
drawbacks. The states showing a compare
lively low condition are as follows New
Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts,, Con-
necticut, Virginia and all the mere southern
states except Texas, while Kentucky presents
an average Of So per cent. deterioration; In
diana, z per cent, and California, II per cent.
Among the states showing high average are
Ohio, per cent. above; Michigan, ! Hi
nois, Z; Missouri, 8; Kansas, z; Nebraska,
10; Oregon, per cent. The winter wheat
of Iowa and Wisconsin is in high condition,
but Insignificant in area. The section having
the largest area Of winter wheat is the one in
which its condition is highest. A majority Of
the winter wheat states report comparatively
poor condition. The only states from which
favorable reports of spring wheat are received
are Maine, New Hampshire, Connecticut and
Oregon. The percentage below an average
are Is follows: Missouri, Sc; Illinois, 80
indiana, q; Ohio, Z; Michigan, 4; Wiscon
sin, 20; Minnesota, 80; Iowa, Is; Kansas
Is; Nebraska, IL. The chinch bug has beel
very destructive to spring wheat. After al
lowing for increase in acreage and the larg
yield Of winter wheat in good wheat district
the loss in the spring variety must reduce ii
aggregate yield somewhat below an averag
The hay crop will be a comparative light on
Potatoes promise an average yield if they e
cape drought and rot in future, notwithstan'
ing the prevalence ofthe Colorado bug. Coz
tinued vigilance has partially averted loss.
