An illustration of the rapid increase of area and enlargement of 
production is found in the accompanying Diagram C. 
COTTON. 
There has been steady progress in cotton-growing, interrupted only 
for four years, 1861 to 1865, starting anew with free labor in the 
latter year, and producing about half as much as m 1860. Jt was 
not until 1870 that the product obtained before the war was clusely 
approximated, and not fully reached until 1875. In the past tweive 
. years the increase has been more than 50 per cent. It 1s assumed 
by those best qualified to judge that the area of 1859 was about 
12,000,000 acres. The present acreage is believed to exceed 18,000,000 
acres. In i879, by the census enumeration, it was nearly 14,500,000 
acres. According to estimates of this Department it is distributed 
as follows: 
States. 1886. 1887.
