In our opinion "Rock Ne 10 Sleep" Is

An Increase Of 1900, 900 Acres in
Area Reported..The Crop Generals
lynn Good Condition.
WARRINGTON, July 2l.-Itappears from
returns to the Department Of Agriculture
that an increase IN the corn area Of fully
100000 acres Is apparent or 6per cent
above the breadth Of last year. Theper-
eentaGe oiincrease is largest in the South.
The increase in acres Is largest in the
West. Tho returns make the gain in
Iowa oTeF 100000 acres, in Missouri
The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1874-07-24

about the same, in Illinois avobe 100000
acres, in Indiana fully 100000 acres, in
Kansas about 10000. Georgia shows
almost As large an increase q Iowa and
Missouri Alabama, 10000 acres; Missis.
Sippi, 9OI0Oo.acres; Texas, 10000 acres.
The inducement to enlarge the corn area
Of the cotton States appears TO have been
less influential In the Mississippi Valley
than In the more eastern States, Georgia
particularly. The increase in Texas is
simply due 10 the natural expansion OF the
crop areas from immigration, and Is equal.
Y noticeable In cotton and other crops.
The number Of States reporting decrease
10 area Is small, including only Maine,
New Hampshire, Vermont, Florida,
Louisiana, Tennessee, West Virginia,
Kentucky, and California. In Northern
New England late uniAvorable Spring
interiered with planting, and In Louisiana
the area Is less by reason Of the overflow.
The States making increase are as fol-
lows:
The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1874-07-24

The condition Of the corn Is generally
good in the West, bot elsewhere variable
Only Massachusetts,, Of the Eastern States
reports an average condition. Only Penn,
sylvania, Of the Middle States, and Mary
land, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida
and Texas, Of the Southern States, report
the same. Minnesota Is an exception in
the Western States, reporting o., and
California and Oregon fail TO give full
average. The per centAges Of condition
above average are as follows

The States averaging 100 are Pennsyl-
vanis, Georgia, Wisconsin and Missouri.
On the Northern Atlantic coast the late
planting and cold storms are the causes
Of somewhat inferior condition, though
the color is generally good and the pres
ent growth promising. The foundations,
soaking rains, and consequent replantings
In the Southern States make the sppear-
ance of corn quite variable and account
Tor condition below the average in GER
tain States, while in others, such disad-
vantSges existing In less degree, they
have been overcome by good culture and
