Agricultural Estimates.
The statistician of the Department of
Agriculture, j r Dodge, reports the pros
pect of q reasonable degree of abundance
in the crops of the centennial year. The
large area of last year OF corn is increased,
and the prospect OF . good yield is gen.
orally favorable, though its early growth IN
the Northwest was slow. in consequence OF
sold aud wet weather and late planting.
Winter wheat is greatly improved in the |
districts where winter killing was reported, |
in a good yield and guarantees
, surplus for export, and is nearly equal to
that of the two preceding years, unless
The grain should be damaged greatly after
putting. An extraordinary crop has been |
gathered in California and Kanene, and |
large ones in the central
Atlantic States. Ia the Ohio valley the
srop is not quite an average. The Gulf
States have larger area than usual, with |
} lower rate Ofyield.
The great epr,Dg wheat States east of the
Rocky mountains give somewhat inferior
promise.
An average crop Of oats may be counted
m. Large yields are promised on the Pa Z
,ifc coast, and in Kansas, Wisconsin,
Michigan, and generally on the Atlantic
'oast.
Barley is in high condition on the North
nm Atlantic coast. 1t is not much grown
south, and on the Pacific coast is below e
Iyersge. +
In the Ohio valley pastures we're in fine '
condition prior to the appearance of the d
lrouths of July, which have proved locally
Potatoes have smaller acreage in the | q
'eetle infested States, out there is fair E
r0mise for q general crop for the first sea- I
