round numbers, 
The total product, for the whole country, will be this year, in 
42,000,000 bushels, while in 1877 the crop was 34,500,000. 
Potatoes.—The product of potatoes for 1878 shows a large decline as 
compared with the crop of 1877. 
The New England and Middle States 
fell off nearly one-third, the States north of the Ohio River about one 
fourth ; the States west of the Mississippi River show a decided increase. 
The average yield this year is only 69 bushels per acre, against 94 in 
1877, and the total crop is estimated at 124,000,000 bushels, while that 
of 1877 was 170,660,000. 
Hay.—The conditions of growth in nearly all the States during 1878 
were remarkably favorable to grass crops. 
The result is shown in a 
hay product over 20 per cent. greater than 1877. 
Other Crops.—For details of the other crops, reference is made to the | 
following tables:
