PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD
THE OLD DISSATISFIED ROUTE AND SHORT LINE
BETWEEN
NEW YORK AND PHILADELPHIA
The Portland daily press., 1878-10-09

The commissioner of agriculture has come
to the conclusion that the wheat crop for 1878
will reach the popular figure of 400, 100000
bushels, the increased breadth of ground sown
compared with that Of last year, making up
the loss caused by the evils OF the season.
The immense quantity of wheat produced in
the tar West of late years has attracted the
attention of food statisticans, and this pro.
duction is Indicative of the hegira of popula-
ton westward. Not only is the volume of
wheat fourfold greater than a quarter of a
century ago, but the increase of that portion
OF it grown beyond the Mississippi is greater
than the entire crop of 1S49. Five per cent.
only was then produced west OF the Missis-
sippi, and In 1878 it is estimated at sixty per
cent. Dividing the country into three sec
tons, the first including the Atlantic coast
States, with Pennsylvania and the Virginias
to the Ohio River, and the second and third
sections separated by the Mississippi River,
we find more than half of the wheat grown in
the hrst section Twenty-Five years ago, the
percentage of each section changing rapidly
as follows: Atlantic coast from 81 to 30.7 in
1859, to 20 in 1869, and 49, in 1876; central
belt from 43 3 to "a 6 in 1859, and from 40 in
1859 to 4O.S in 1876; trans, Mississippi belt
from 53 to 147 in 1859, and from 81 in 1869
to 30.6 in 1876. The first section has now a
little more than one third of its former pro-
portion; even the second, which was swept
with so heavy wave of immigration in the
first decennial period, exhibits a declining
percentage, while the third has eight times its
former prominence, and, in 1878, fully ten
times its former conspicuity.
few years more will find a prepopdera-
ting weight of wheat west of the Mississippi
River. Comparing relative quantities rather
than proportions OF the crop, we find the At
lartic coast has held its own: the central
belt produces three times as much: the
trans-Mississippi belt more than TWENTY-FIVE
times as much. The wheat crop in 1849 was
100, ,944 bushels; in 1859. 173. 1O4. 1924
bushels; in 1869, 2S7, 745, 1852 bushels in 1876,
2S9, 800 bushels. In the trans Mississinni
belt the production has grown from $780,
27S bushels in 1S49. to fully 125. O0O. 600
bushels In 1878. The Atlantic coast prodnced
in 1849 about 50, 100000 bushels, and in 1876
56,49o,0 00 bushels; while the central belt has
increased Its production from 100000
bushels to l2O,OOO,000 bushels in the course
OF twenty-nine years. For 1878 the produc
ton OF the central belt will probably touch
l5O,OOO,0OO bushels. That the wheat crop,
with smaller volume and more active for
elgn demand, should make so rapid extension,
is less strange than the nearly equal rate Of
acceleratlon of the immense volume of our
great natural crop, maize or Indian corn.
With less than an increase of one hundred
per cent. in population, this crop has more
Than doubled, the West having trod the track
OF destiny with accelerated step. The details
OF the production of the wheat crop for 1878.
so far as the various sections of the country
are concerned, will be looked forward to with
much lnterest.-American Cultiuator.
