AGRICULTURAL REronr The renort q

AGRICULTURAL REroRr The report Of
the Department Of Agriculture for Nov
ember and December makes the tobacco
crop six per cent less in yield than las,
year. The crop is in the best condition
in Connecticut. all the New England to-
baeeo raising States taking precedence
Of Virginis in that respect as does also
Maryland. The average product of po-
tatoes is fifteen per cent. less than last
year. The hay crop is shout half a mi :
lion of tons less. last years crop being not
far from twenty-four million tons. An
analysis Of the official returns for fifteen
years show that the United States furnish
ell the largest supply Of wheat to Great
Britain Of any other country. the proper
tion being ,wen.y-seven per cent, while
the proportion for Russia. which has been
supposed to be the largest contributor. is
ID Denty- four per cent. The greater
PARTON Of the rest Of the supply has been
contributed by Germany. Franco and
British America. leaving but sixteen per
cent. to all other sources ofsupply. This
year France. instead of exporting, will
have to import wheat for herself.
