 age of that of 1878, the gain being chiefly in Kentucky, Tennessee, and 

 Connecticut, and the most serious decline in Ohio and Missouri. The 

 quality of the crop is somewhat better than that of last year, but the 

 l^rice shows little or no variation. The crop for 1879 is estimated at 

 391,278,350 pounds, valued at $22,727,524, against 392,546,700 pounds, 

 valued at $22,137,428 in 1878. 



Potatoes. — There was an increase in the area planted in potatoes of 3 

 per cent. ; drought was prevalent in some sections of the country, but 

 on the whole the season was favorable and the yield per acre was an 

 average of 98 bushels, against 69 in 1878, and 94 in 1877. The total crop 

 is estimated at 181 million bushels, valued at $79,000,000.
