In my letter OF last week spoke:
of Newport News as o city OF moro

merely a general statement, and to a

a most interesting special message. in
which he claimed for Newport News.

OF them with the figures for last year
suggest, however, that with all its
progress, the South Is not doing In
embarrassing whatits natura! abilities
would permit. In 1860 the South pro-
iduced 25S.153.569 bushels. or 43.1 per
cent, OF the total production Of $780,
451,707 bushels of corn In the country;
1856. SIS bushels, or 1852 per cent. Of
the total production of 171,IS3.3S1 bush
els OF wheat in the country. and 49,
496.735 bushels, or 1870 per cent, Of
the otalSproduction of 172.554.6SS bush
els OF oats in the country. Last year
the South raised 715.7s0.oo0 bushels, or
s27.5 per cent. OF the total production
of 2.392, 800. 600 bushels of corn In the
country 5s.4S5.0O0 bushels. or 9.4 per

lo37,o00 bushels of wheat In the country,
and s43,053.oO0 bushels, or ST per cent.
of the total production OF T54, 43s.000
bushels Of oats in the country. At no
time in the past forty years has the
average yield per acre Of corn. wheat
or oats for the whole South equaled
the average yield per acre of any OF
the three grains for the whole country.
In 1907 Kentucky. Maryland, Tennessee
and West Virginia were the. only South
ern States raising an average per acre
above the average per acre for the
whole country of corn. and they. with
Texas and Virginia, were the only
Southern States raising corn above the
average for the South. Maryland was
the only Southern State raising an av-
!erage peraacre above the average for
the whole country Of wheat, and. with
Kentucky, Virginia and West Virginia,
