When men say there is as much liquor
sold now as before there was any prohibi-
tory liquor law they enormously misrepre-
sent facts When Neal Dow says, as he
is reported to have said recently. that ''in
the old time there were many establish
ments IN Portland. anv one of which sold
more liquor than is now sold by all that
exist here" he undoubtedly makes true
statement. And with all the complaint
that is made of the non enforcement of the
liquor law. its grip was never felt more
strongly generally over the State than at
vices to which vendors of ardent spirits
are driven abundantly testify.

1t is difficult to realize the great
resources and possibilities of the
United States. We are not only
largely supporting n population of
90 ,O00, 900, but we are contributing
materially TO the support of millions
in other countries. Even those ia
miliar with the movement of vessels,
and who watch the loading of car
goes for foreign lands, fail TO com
prehend the magnitude of our com
merce. The value of our exports for
the fiscal year now drawing to close
promises to exceed anything yet put
on record. The Bureau OF Statistics
at Washington has recently issued a
statement of the foreign commerce of
the United States for the first three
quarters of the current fiscal year
The figures are brought down TO
March 31st. The grand total value
OF the exports for these nine months
Is $3.50 800, 900, an increate of s72,-
600, 900 over the corresponding pc
rod III the former fiscal year. As
suming that we shall carry the aver
age of this total into the last quarter,
the result for tho year ending June
30th will be over 5000, 900, 900. That
is indeed large business to carry ON
with foreign nations. Cotton is OF
course the leading export staple, out
ranking Wheat and Flour combined.
Bacon and Hams come next in order
of value; then Corn, Lard, Petro-
leum, Tobacco, Cheese and Live Cat
tie. All other items show a value OF
less than ten millions each for the
nine months. Cotton forms nearly
so per cent. of the gross exports from
the United States. 4 comparison OF
half a dozen of the leading staples OF
exports for the nine months ending

Again We wish to say lev words to
our farmer readers in regard u this d, :
partment Of the DEAocaAr. We have
taken some pains TO make II Of interest
to them, and It contains each week
much valuable information. We would
like, however, to have our own home
farmers, who know better than we do
just what they need, make Us short
contributions and give us the .enefs
of their practical experience. Il is our
desire to conduct this department. in
sach manner as will lie of the most
practical benefit 70 them; but in order
to DO this successfully We must
hear from them and know their wants.
Give US short letters on farm topics,
crop prospects,, and your ideas On the
various questions OF the day in which
the farmer Is particularly interested.
4 little interchange of thought on
these topics will be an advantage to all
concerned.

CEREAL PRopUcTroS.

Tie reports of the cereal crops for the
year have been complied by states In
the census Office, and show an increase
Of nearly So per cent, over the total
cereal products for 1870. In 1850 the
total cereal product, that is. including
wheat, rye, oats, corn, bHckwheat and
barley, was 1229, ,039, ,6I6 bushels. In
1870 1t was 1,337, ,295, ,523, an increase OF
nearly I3 per cent, over 1860 The to-
tai for 1880 was 2.714, COZ G8I. an I'm.
crea se, a5 already noted, OF nearly O6
per cen, over 1870, and OF I28 per cent
over 1850 It should be stated that the
crops referred to are those of 1873
though put down as the census of 1880
Comparisons show that between 1850
aad 1870 the New England states de-
crease their cereal production seven
teen and one-half per cent; the middle
stats increased over 10 per cent; the
southern states decreased nearly Is per
cent; while the western stats during
this period increased their cereal pro-
ducts over forty per cent; and the
Pacific states linciuding territories) no
less than one hundred and forty-tnree
per cent Between 1870 and 1880 all
PORTIONS of the country show an in
crease; but in the New England states
the increase is extremely sciall, being
less than two and half per cent.
That OF the middle states Is about the
same as between 1860 and 1870 while
the western states Increased one humid
red aud thirty-six. and the Pacific
states one hundred and nine per cent.
The crop of Oregon in 1860 was
given at 1890, ,278 bushels; In 1870 at
1863 D54 bushels, and in 1880 at II, 95l,-
600 bushels The cereal production of
Washington territory Increased from
230. 737 bushels IN 1860 to 554 $40 bus
heis in 1870, and 4,122, ,s58 bushels In
1880. California return shows in 1850,

bushels, and in 1880, Al ,977 1885 bushels.
It has been asserted that Minnesota
produces Es:ore wheat than any other
state; btft IN fact Illinois heads the
list. both for wheat aud corn. Also
TIE tables show that Ohio, Indiana
and Michigan each produced more
wheat for the census year of 1880 than
innes0ta-th0ugh doubtless the last
named state will soon take the lead
But in proparfi0g to population Oregon
produces more than Twice as much

&c much as California.-0regoni
