But the Kate of VleFd of Corn Was
Below the Average.
The November returns to the Department
of Agriculture make tho corn crop, the
largest volume on record, with a rate of
yield, however, somewhat leas tuau inai in
dicated by the returns for oats, being 26.S
buahels per acre. Thia must be regarded as
preliminary and not a final estimate of the
yield.
In the Virginias and Carolina, some coun
ties of Pennsylvania nnd Maryland, tho
greater f.art of the giaat lakes aud Ohio val
leys, California and Now Mexico, reports are
conlllcting. owing to tho different aetiou of
theuniversal drought upon different soils.
The average yield of buckwheat is 20.1
bushels against 16.1 last year.
The average yield of potatoes ii 100.7
bushels nor aero.
Tobacco 745 pounds, and hay 1.05 tons.

THB COTTOB Y1KI.P.
Cotton returns to the lepartmeutof Agri
culture for tho month of November show aa
average yield per acre for the entire cotton
belt of 155. pounds, distributed by States as
follows: Virginia, liiS; North Carolina, lift;
South Carolina, 141 ; Georgia, 12; Florida,
144; Alabama, 135; MLssissippI, KM; Louisi
ana, 177; Texas, 151; Arkansas, IKS; Tennes
see, 181; all other States and Territories, 207.
A large majority of the correspondents of
the department complain of short yield,
many reporting "half crop," the poorest in
thirty yearB," or something similar. The dry
weather, which has principally destroyed the
top crop in many localities and injured it
everywhere, has been favorable for picking,
so that the fibre gederaily is reported clean
and in good condition. The dania;;o from
the drouth is not confined to articular
States, none being free from it.
