As will be observed the returns f >r cotton are unfortunately want- 

 ing, owing to the fact that the annual returns for this crop, received 

 by the Department of Agriculture, appear to have been very meager

For convenience of comparison I have prepared the following table, 

 in which the acreage yield of each cr.>p for each state for the latter 

 half — viz., for the Xorrhem States from 1871 to 1880, and for the 

 Southern States from 1873 to 1880 — has been calculated to the per 

 cent of the yield per acre of tlie several crops during the first half. It 

 will thus appear, by a glance at this table, the gain or loss per cent
