Corn, aud wheat.
The November returns Of cotton 20 tho
department of agriculture relate to the
yield per acre aud show tho effects OF
tho long continued drought in reducing
prolnction. The ln'eness Of killing irosts
has less effect tlnu usual in oplnrging
tho yield, as the vitality Of tho plants was
too noarly exhausted to produce top
crop. The drought has not baen brokcn
at some points on tho gulf coast at tho
date Of returns.
Tho indicated yicld pcr aero Is lower in
nearly every f'ntn than in Tho c5nSis
year, which WAS ono OF average prOluc-
tion. Tho lowest yields arc now, % thon,
In Florida, Georgia, Alabama, and Texas,
The reduction is this year worry marked
Ia Louisiana aud Arkansas, the region Of

| Tho returns OF the rate OF yield Of corn
| Indicate product somewhat in excess of
| l,S0O,OOO,000 bushels. or an average rate a
small fraction above twonty-six bushels
per acre. Tho best Yields are, rs in 1888,
in what has been designated tho Great
American desert. Tho arid regions" in
tho vicinity Of tho hundredth meridian
have produced heavy Crops of maize of
high quality. That line OF longitude has
ceased to DO an absolute barrier to corn
production, or general farming, tho rate
of yield in Nebraska being 80; in Kansas,
49, Iowa, 30; Missouri, -; Minnesota, 3J.5;
Ohio, 81 Illinois, 30; Indiana, 30; Michi-

Tho potato crop Is nearly an average
