AGRICULTURAL REPORT.

The report of the Commissioner of Agri-
culture for 1871 will be ready for distribution
during the latter part of the present month
three months in advance of the usual time of
publication. Two hundred and twenty-five
thousand copies of this report were ordered
by Congress Senators and Representatives
receiving between six hundred and seven hun.
dred each for distribution among the people.
Many topics of "a deep interest are discussed in
the forthcoming volume, and it will prove q
laboratory of valuable facts. We quote a
passage relating to the agricultural produe.
tions of the country in 1871: 80 80 %.
"The agricultural production Of 1871 has
been less, both in quantity and value, than
that of 1870. The heaviest decline in pro-
duction is seen in corn, which fails to reach
the quantity of the previous year by one hun
dred millions of bushels, while il exceeds that
produced in 1869 by difference still greater.
The amount of wheat harvested has apparent
ly come very near the product Of 1870; the
quantity of oats grown slightly surpasses that
Of the previous year; and barley, rye and
buckwheat, always presenting moderate fig.
ures, differ in their aggregate Of the two years
by very slight degrees. The difference in the
quantity Of cereals is, therefore, mainly due
to "a the reduction in the yield of corn, which
showed relatively decrease of 8 per cent,
yet actually leaving more than an average
crop. The total. quantity of cereals, as esti-
mated, was fully sixteen hundred and q quar-
ter millions in 1870; and in 1871 fifteen hum
dred and quarter; their values, respective
ly, in round numbers, one thousand millions
Of dollars and nine hundred millions. As
compared with the other grain producing
countries, ours now stands abreast with Rus
sia, in some years slightly ahead, while the
two together equal, in cereal production, all
the countries in Europe west Of Russia.
"The area in cereals, 50 far as We have been
able to determine it without the help Of the
census-a singular omission in the national
enumeration to which this Department in
vain called the attention of the law makers
prior to the census of 1870-was sixty-foar
millions of acres last year, and sixty-nine in
1870. More than half of this total area, as
also larger proportion of the aggregate
value, is attributed to the maize crop, which
is, and must be for many years, the principal
cereal crop of the country" ..

like the dew before the morning sun.
THE LAND COMMISSION.
In March, 1869, the Legislature passed an
Act to provide for the appointment of Land
Commissioner, and to define his powers and
duties. The Act provided that the Governor,
Comptroller General, State Treasurer, Secre-
tary of State and Attorney General should
constitute an Advisory Board, and that they
should appoint suitable person to be known
as the Land Commissioner Of the State of
South Carolina. This Land Commissioner
was to hold his Office at the pleasure of the
Board. 1t was made the duty of the Land
Commissioner to purchase any lands in any
portion of the State, at such prices as the Ad
visory Board should determine, not to exceed
in amount, however, the par value Of the
stock provided by the General Assembly for
that purpose. The Act provided for the issue
Of 100000 in coupon bonds, if, in the opin-
ion of the Advisory Board, so much should
be necessary. Now, it appears from reading
the Act, that the object Of the Legislature was
to purchase lands as they might be offered for
sale, and to sell them out in small lots to the
poor people of this State. At subsequent
session OF the Legislature, IN March, 1871,
the Legislature passed an Act authorizing an
additional issue of bonds in the sum Of $780,
900, if, in the opinion of the Advisory Board,
so much be necessary, for the purpose of the
Land Commission.
Now, you will notice that the Land Com
missioner, in both these Acts, is made the sim
pie servant of the Advisory Board. He could
not make purchase without their approval,
and not a dollar of bonds for the purpose
could be issued or used unless, in their judg-
ment, they were necessary. Now, what has
been done by the Land Commissioner and
! Advisory Board? By the report of Hon. H.
E. Hayne, Land Commissioner, dated No
vember 10, 1871, We have some information.
Here let me say that this is the first, last and
only report that has ever been given. although
the law requires that there should be an an
nual report made to the Legislature. The
