l'rops Of the Year 1888.
United States Agricultural Reportl

Notwithstanding the fears OF many in the
early months Of the year, the season has been
full average of productiveness. IL Is the
first in five years past to give an average
yield OF corn after n previous period OF SIX
years of twcnty-six bushels or more per
acre. The present rate exceeds the average
about half bushcl per acre.
Oats allied TO corn in It's uses, and gov
erncd in price more or less 10y the supply OF
maize, also made high record in the sea
sons reports of condition, showing the lorc-
est area and greatest volume Of production
ever recorded.
Barley is u medium crop and buck wheat
above the average.
Wheat has suffered worse from winter
killing than in any former experience OF
crop reporting IN this department. The
winter OF 1881 was only less severe, and
that OF 1871 vas nearly as bad. On the
basis OF the area secled the yield was only
81 bushels; on he area liar vested, deductine
abandoned and rcplantel areas, which were
larger than ever before, the yield averages
1914 ver acre The loss was not material in
the northern iet Michigan, the highest
latitude in which winter wheat " grown
suffered less than usual, and made large
crop, one Of the Lest recorded. The surface
was well covered with blanket OK snow
until into April. There Was some protection
in northern Ohio, and n comparatively good
crop on a limited area. The loss IN New
York wa, also slight, and not very severe
in Pennsylvania, with some exceptional
areas Of greater damage. The central belt
between thirty-six and forty degrees Of lat.-
tudc received the full effect Of ths winters
severity The south is usually exempt from
injury by winter freezing, but not entirely
the past season. Tho signs Of injury IN
spring were visible even in the extreme
south.
Cotton promised a large crop, on an in
creased acreage, and has made nearly a
medium one, in aggregate volume exceeded
by the crop of 1ss2, and approached some
what nearly only 10y that OF 1880
Other crops have enjoyed conditions
favoring medium abundance, with some ex.
ceptiong, notably the potato crop, which was
injured severely by rot in the latter part Of
the season.
Altogether production has been a unian'
more than amp,e for domestic consumption,
In every thing except the products which are
always insufficient as sugar, barley, rice aud
sub tropical fruits

They are at it already. The departing
footsteps of the late cold snap had not even
ceased to be heard when howl ros, from the
eroakers that the peach buds were killed, the
winter wheat frozen, and the beef cattle on
she western plains dead with the cold.
Don't you believe them. This country Is
so big and so fertile that farmers will never
want. No cold, however polar, 10 heat
However ,orrid, no drouth however arid,
no rain, however so long con inued, wa:
ever yet powerful enough to cause famine
10 America, hardly even noticeable
scarcity.
Remember that and shame the croakcrs,
Last year was the poorest wheat year known
IA this generation. The crop seemed to fail
generally yet behold! there is sufficient for
us all and surplus enough to keep the staple
down to lower prices than those like who
have it to sell.
Crops can't fail all over this country.
