Relative Profits of Wheat aud Barley.

Relative Profits of Wheat aud Barley.
In the States east of Ohio, and north of
Maryland, the growing of wheat has, in most
localities, given way to the raising OF other
crops, the sale of which will buy more flower
than the landwill produce. This is of course less
the case toward the western end of the Sec
tion mentioned, and very notably increases
toward the east, where, in Massachusetts, the
annual yield of breadstuffs is only fraction
of the quantity consumed by the population.
But it if somewhat surprising to find that
California with its vaunted advantages for
wheat growing shonld show decided tend
ency in the same direction. From published
statements before us. it appear that the area
in wheat in that State yields only an average
of nineteen bushels to the acre, while barley
gives thirty-five bushels, and oats forty-f five
bushels per acre. The cash value of the
yield per acre for each of the three crops is
set down respectively at $1S24, $21. .4S. and
$26,90. from which it will be seen that barley
yields in dollars nearly one-fith, and oats
nearly One-half more than wheat for given
average. SX-seyenths of The export of barley
from California is to Peru, the Orient, British
Columbia, Chilli and Japan. The export of
oats is chiefly to Austr ALA, British Columbia,
Japan, China, Mexico and New Zealand.
These facts are suggestive not only with refer
ence to the future of agriculture on the Paci-
fic coast, but with regard to the probable di-
rection of that commercial enterprise, which
sooner or later must dot the South Sea with
the ships and steamers of great and varied
traffic,
