Tobacco Production.
lpalflmnrn IIerall.l


The recent census bulletin is devoted TO
the tobacco product of the United state.
The report shows that tobacco Is STABLE
crop in seventeen States. the annual produr-
tiOn ranging from $500 pounds m lor.aa
20 22J.459 G47 pounds in Kentucky. The latter
State takes the lead followed by Virginia,
Ohio. North Carolina and tennessee. Mary
land i. the eighth State on the list with
yearly product Of i2.ZlS,M- pounds.
Both in Virginia and Maryland there la
been decrease in production since the tenth
census. This fact has been commented upon
frequently. and the cause is superannuatr ct
methods in cultivating and curint the crop
Maryland's annual yield has gone down from
26. 0s2. l47 pounds ten years ago 70 lz.Zl-W'
pounds. as shown in the eleventh census
This is notable decrease. which IS equaed
only BY the State Of Virginia. Other States
show increased production, and some OF them
al very rapid rate.
These facts regarding tobacco culture IN
Maryland and Virginia are somewhat dcpres'-
ing But they do not necessarily imply that
the industry is being ruined. In our own
State tobacco raising IS merely undergoing a
transition. Tobacco planters in some IN
stances have ceased T. raise tobacco, but IN
general new methods are being tired. ex-
bausted soils ara being reclaimed. new modes
Of curing are under investigation. and proba-
bly, the next census will show Maryland rs
among the most prominent tobacco producing
States.
The remedy for existing evils has been
pointed out in manner 20 attract wide atten-
ton. and already restoration of the industry
is in progress.

PRoFKssoR G. WooD DAVIS is one of the
leading authorities m this country on the
general question of agricultural production
and agricultural supplies. He has recently
shown that the outlook for certain forms OF
agricultural products is better now than il has
been since the war. This is more particularly
the case in the instance of the cereals. The
output Of the wheat fields of the world, he
says. in an article on the wheat sup
ply Of Europe and America, which
appeared in the May number Of the Arena.
in an average yield. is now clearly
insufficient 10 meet current requirements.
and the growing deficit has heretofore been
met by drawing upon reserves accumulated
during the earlier part of the ninth decade
and from the exceeding large crop of 1878.
and the time when the current deficit shall
make itself apparent in painful and startling
manner depends on the degree to which such
reserves have been exhausted. There can
be no question that with average crops
throughout the world present supplies are
insufficient, and yet prices continue below the
cost Of production. and the agricultural popu-
lations are in an impoverished condition,
from which they will emerge as soon a. the
consumers awaken 10 the fact that the IN
abundant supply 10 which they have so long
been accustomed has ceased 20 exist

The Baltimore American thinks that the
rate at which the lower class of Italians are
pouring into the United States is causing
grave apprehension on account Of their easily
aroused and violent passions, their practice
Of going armed, their instant use of the sti-
letto on the lightest provocation. the frequent
assassination among them; all of which make
them the least desirable of all the nationali-

this applies only TO the low class of imini-
