| Agriculture | United States. Reports of the Agricultural Department, Hon. Isaac Newton, Commissioner, for April says the promising prospect for the unusually heavy crop of wheat continues to be very favorable. The harvest prospects are excellent. Never has there been so general an expression of encouragement, in view of the fine condition of winter wheat since the establishment of the present system for the collection of crop statistics. In more than nine tenths of the returns received, the condition of the crop is reported favorable and promising. From the South the returns are as cheering as from the West. In a few places winter-killing is reported. Many Correspondents of the department promise an extraordinary crop, some double the usual quanity. A correspondent in Salem Oregon, says: "We have had a remarkable fine winter and all growing crops in splendid condition. Little snow or cold weather, and at no time thus far has ice formed a quarter of an inch. | Nebraska City News | 6-5-67 | 2-3 | ||||||||||||
| Agriculture | United States. Chicago Tribune says the crop of wheat, oats and barley already gathered in the United States is not only equal to the average crop but in excess of it, and this is to be considered with the fact that the breadth of land sown this year in cereals is greater than at any previous time. It is safe to say that the aggregate yield of the crop of the United States in 1868 will be the greatest on record, both in the product per acre and in the number of acres planted. The report from England is that the wheat crop exceeds that of 1867 to the amount of 4,671,285 quarters; and is above the yield of ordinary years to the amount of 2,472,924 quarters or about 20,000,000 bushels. The other crops - oats, barley and potatoes, are far below the average. The Continental crop will hardly exceed the demand for home consumption. | Nebraska City News | 9-2-68 | 3-4 | ||||||||||||
| Agriculture, Crops. | United States The department of Agriculture reports in all parts of the country have been indefinite concerning the yield of wheat and furnishing numerous and contradictory elements in a calculation as to quantity. On the other hand it is stated that from a variety of different causes the wheat crop of this year will fall far short of that of 1857, while in cases a three-fold acreage is mentioned with half an average yield, giving a 50% aggregate increase, notwithstanding the loss; numberous reports declare the present the largest crop in many years, and the majority, in view of the general increase in acreage, show a better result than of last year, after accounting for losses in the yield. The average yield per acre of the whole country is scarcely equal to that of 1867 but the increased area sown will secure an aggregate somewhat larger than the product of that year. The hay crop is excellent, oats middling. The area of corn planted is large and return per acre will be entirely satisfactory. Potatoes promise a full yield in some localities, on the whole the crop of this year will not equal that of 1867. In all the Middle States fruit has failed, apples are not worth gathering, peach yield was small, but pears did better in most of places. On the whole the products of the country coming under the notice of the department of Agriculture have been more abundant in the present year than in the one just past.

Mansfield, one of the ablest writers in Ohio, states as his opinion, that the absolute money value of the crops this year will be $500,000,000 greater than in 1266 and the power of exportation much greater in proportion, because it is the surpluses which is increased. He argues that two effects will follow "We shall have increased importations and increased gold revenue. Gold will probably fall considerably in the autumn of 1867, and financiers will find that the shortest road to specie payment is through good crops." By.

| Agriculture Wheat | United States Monthly report for April of Mr. Newton, commissioner of Agriculture, gives valuable statistics of the results of grain growing in different States, and a statement of the rank Nebraska holds in wheat growing. In 1866 Kansas, with three times the population of Nebraska raised 260,465 bushels of wheat. Nebraska produced 257,839 bushels. The average yield of wheat in the different States is shown by the following statement in Mr. Newton's report. |

| Agriculture. Wheat in Nebraska | Editor of Omaha Herald in printing the gist of an article on wheat culture, refers to a conversation with a prominent fancier, who expressed a belief that Nebraska might expect exemption from the prevalent deterioation in yield of wheat lands "by rotation of crops and keeping out the weeds and by ploughing a little deeper every year. Herald states as a fact that "these Nebraska wheat growing soils are so deep that it has been demonstrated that soil brought from fifty feet below the surface in digging wells, properly prepared and sown to wheat, will raise almost as large a crop of wheat and of equal quality with that which is next the soil. This means nothing to the farmer who will not go five inches in that direction. Shallow cultivation and little of it, is the rule in new countries which is followed by discouragement of results. If the wheat growers of Nebraska are discarding the slovenly example of the west; preparing the seed bed thoroughly, selecting seed with care, cultivating, and destroying the weeds, rotating, and keep stock to utilize the hay and straw and return to the soil the elements taken from it, then they may escape the losses of wheat deterioation.

| Agriculture - Surprise | Rev. A. R. Mosher displayed seven grains of the "Suprise Oats". The grain is full and plump and looks like the common oat raised in this country. The only differance we can see is the price - Mr. Mosher sells his for about $5 per quart and Mr. Coniga sells at about 40C per bushel. | Nebraska City News | 3-22-67 | 3-2 | ||||||||||||
