% per cent greater than the average of
the five preceding years.
Next in order of value is the potato
crop. which has been exceeded only in
two or three former years With the
exception OF tho crop OF 1909, which was
in a degree an oycrproductlon. the crop

Of the department is 32S, 49, 900 bushels,
or per cent above tho average OF the
preceding fvc years.
Beet sugar production in 1910 Will about
equal that OF 1909, say 900 short ions
Its factory value is rcckonod at Sjl
600, 600, and the factory value Of cane
sugar at about S2S,ooo;oQO. an amount
which has bccn exceeded in four years.
III prospects are realized tho entire
sugar crop of factory production. beet
and cane combined will bc $50 900 short
tons, or Il production that has been cX-
cceded lr, only enc wear, 1909 In fac
tory value the two sugar crops will equal
about $4,000 600; and if 10 this bc added
the value OF molasses. syrup. beet pulp
and sorghum and maple products. the
combined value is about $4,000, 600.
The tobacco crop has slightly exceed

Rye, Rice, Etc,

Rice production in 1910 remained sub

This year is worth hardly $4,000 900.
Tho hop crop is regarded as ~ P.'
cent below the average of the prcf ious
five years and the smallest crop IN q
dozen wears or moro: but tho farm price
has improved over the 1rcr1S" Of ille
