The area of maize planted in 1887 was increased more than 
_. 2,000,000 acres, yet the virtual destruction of area which failed wholly e 
to mature, and was valuable only for stover, reduced the breadth har- «ahead 
vested to 72,392,720 acres, instead of 75,694,208 acres the previous tS 
‘+ year. The yield per acre on this reduced acreage was 20.1 bushels, oe 
instead of 22 in 1886, which was less by 4 bushels than an average ue 
- crop. The area, product, and value by States are as follows : oe
