IRISH AGRICULTURAL PROSPECTS
The force OF this land agitation is increased by the
gloomy outlook OF the agricuiturists The wretchcd
weather has ruined the III many districts and
in the West fears are entertained of repetition Of
the of 1S47. Mr.. Kettle. experienced
cultvator of the county Dublin states that the grain
crops for the last two were the worst raised
in ireland for fifty years, ,,. and that the the
of cultivation excluding rent and taxes.
The reports of the government enumerators como
in to support these gloomy statements According
their reports there is decrease in the under
crops in 1879 of S2.217 acres There is increase
in the acreage under wheat in 1879 of 3467 acres,
barley 106S9 acres beans and peas 500 acres mangel
wurzel and beet root 594 and flax It, 1877
In there is decrease of 81 653 acres bere and
1913 acres potatoes 4.Oyl acres. turnips 1851
acres, cabbage 6,O6S acres, carrots, parsnips and
other crops 903 acres, vetchcs and rape
9, 2,532 acres, and in meadow and clover 5,456
acres. Tho total decrease in cereal crops il
90. 721 acres, and in green crops 23,227 acres.
The decrease of much -, 633 OF oats aud
the increase of l0,6S7 acres of barley striking
points. The increased wheat cultivation il but
slight The decline of 1857 of turnips also
The cultivation of oats has been de-
cnng since 1876 and that of barley steadily iucress
ing. Since 1875. likewise tue extent of ground un-
der potatoes and turnips has every year decreased
though not to great figure. The acreage under fax
this year is lbs 00 against in 1873 As nearly
possible crops in Ireland still bear the proportion
