SALINE U0UATY'S AGgICULTCaiL SHOWING
FOR 1876.

In the following table will be found a
statement taken from the agricultural
returns of Saline county for 1876,
to the month Of March, giving
the acreage Of twelve townships in
wheat, corn, oats, barley, rye and broom
corn. The returns for Pleasant Valley
and Smoky View townships have not
yet been handed in, and we arc unable
10 give them. Both are largely planted
in wheat, and their acreage in wheat,
added to that given, will bring the fig
urcs up to a grand total Of about 5000
acres in wheat alone. There was quite
good showing in the acreage of millet
Hungarian and potatoes, which we
omit. In copying from the reports we
noticed that somo of them were made
up in good shapo-especially were those
for Falun township, by Major Forsse.
Mr.. Wight hands us the "adyanco fig,
