net of corn 1887, 7eO, 900 bushels, grown on
75, 672, 763 acres, valued on the farm at S677,-
SCI, $50, or 34.1 cents per bushel. against IA
cents for the crop of 1887, decrease of %
per cent, the product of 1887 being q per
cent. less in volume than that of 1883. The
average yield of the commercial belt. or
seven corn-surplus States, averages 1872

of the Potomac, averages 11.2 bushels of
comparatively poor quality. The wheat
aggregate is Al, s6S, 900 bushels, grown on

average yield is. therefore, I'LL bushelsper
acre; winter wheat, 11.6 bushels. and spring
wheat, 1913 bushels to the acre. The average
farm value is 92.6c per bushel, against 6S.1

three OF four Congresses he is not consulted
about the tariff work now in progress, and
