In 1891 we raised the greatest
corn crop ever grown, but we are going
to render it insignificant this wear. In
1891 corn covered 76.204.000 acres
and yielded an average of q bushels
to the acre. This year the corn fields
amount to S2,304. 900 acres, or 5000
900 more than in 1891, and all reports
indicate larger yield per acre than in
that year. But ut the same average
yield the crop will amount to 2,222,-
POS, 000-two billion two hundred and
twenty two million two hundred and
eight thousand bushels. Corn is worth
about 30 cents bushel not only in the
markets, but in the feeding OF hogs.
This crop will therefore add 81 ILL.,
l04, 900 to the country's wealth. Think
OF il , More than billion dollars of
actual wealth produced in single year
in the shape OF Il single crop. Who
doubts the prosperity of the great Re
public?
