The November returns to the Depart
ment of Agriculture of the rate of yield
per acre ma Ike the average of corn 1877,
which is about ~ bushels above the
yield indicated by the condition figured
in October. This is the lowest rate
yield that has occurred since 1881, when
it stood at 1875 bushels per acre. Last
year the yield was 22.5 bushels upon q
much larger harvested acreage The
rates for the years 1856, 1887 and 1890,
which were years of comparatively low
yield, were respectively % %, POI and 20. {
bushels.
The yield for the present year, which
must be regarded as preliminary and
not final estimate, is less than the aver
age for the ten years, 1870 to 1879, by
IA bushels, less than the average for the
succeeding decade, 1880 to 1889, by "A
bushels. and less than the average for
the four years 1880 to 1893 by 81 bush

with reported indications during the
growing season. The rates of yield of
the principal corn States are as follows:
