Ofthese States Delaware and Nary
land, and probably Renns9I s9Iyania,
raise wheat equal in amount to that
consumed by them. Maryland il q
considerable wheat exporting State.

as that Of Virginia, is Yalaed by ha-|

Virginia is still a wheat exporting
State, although "a taat State, as in
Maryland, the Yield &c has fallen
OF because Of the lesser Production
through the labor of tiSA calored race.

600 bushels of Indian corn in 1860,
AGAINST 5.974,000 bushels of wheat and
II, SOC, 900 bushels of Indian corn in
1870. The production Of little Della.
ware in 1870, as compared with that
of 1860, falls of only 1900 bushels.
Delaware raised 1885,, 600 bushels of
Indian corn in 1850. against 3,Ul0, 900
bushels IN 1870
The produet Of wheat in Pennsyl-
vania, where mainly winter wheat is
grown, increased from 100000 bu.i
in 1850 to 1850, 600 bu. in 1870 This
is one of the tokens of the wonderful
growth in wealth in that State. II is
scarcely prominent in common esti-
nation as grower of Indian corn,
yet the yield of that grain In that
State in 1870 was nearly 35, ,O00, 900 bu.
against 28,000, 600 bushels in 1860. Of
