Good Crnns.

1t is gratifying to know that, while
there is shortage in the local corn
crop on account of the long drought
that prevailed this summer, the gener-
al yield of this important cereal is the
most abundant this country has ever
known. A special from Washington
to the New York Tribune says:
Statistician Dodge, of the Depart
ment OF Agriculture, in conversation
Yesterday with Tribune correspond
ent, remarked that few people could
realize the yield of corn for the pres
ent year. He said: "The aggregate
expectation of corn and corn meal
from the United States since its histo-
ry is exceeded in quantity by the corn
crop of the single year~of 1885"
We also find the following in the
Tribune in regard to the wheat crop:
The September report of the Agri-
cultural Bureau, making full allow
ance for the injury to spring wheat in
August, nevertheless puts the yield for
1885 at 35I 100000 bushels, only 5,000,-
600 bushels less than the estimate made
a month ago. 1t appears, therefore,
that the reports so widely circulated
have been greatly exaggerated, and
that the injury sustained has been of
small consequence. With 351 100000
bushels OF new wheat besides 10000
600 bushels brought over from the
last crop year. the country has enough
to feed population of 58.300OO0 at
the largest ratio of consumption yet
known in this country, viz, 4.6 bushels
per capita, and enough to SOW larger
acreage than has ever been put into
wheat IN this country, say 100000
bushels, and besides all this. enough to
send 147,O00OO0 bushels OF wheat
abroad, which is 100000 bushels
more than foreigners were willing to
buy last year.
