From the above it appear- that the total gain was S1(\478,8G6, and 

 the total loss 858,947,057, or a total net loss of 842,568,191. 



It will, of course, be understood that owing to the different acreages 

 of the several states thus grouped together, as also the fact that their 

 percentages of loss or gain are unlike, the above results are obviously, 

 at best, but approximately true. It would be necessary to consider 

 each state by itself, to learn the exact state of facts existing relative to 

 the production of that state ; but each for himself may readily make 

 such calculation. 



I have, however, selected those states tlie production of which is 

 very large of these two cereals, and we will consider them somewhat 

 in detail. 



The states selected produce an aggregate of over 70 per cent of our 

 wheat and com, and are, moreover, those states whose production is 

 so largelv in excess of their consumption, that it is from their surplus 

 that we derive our large supply for exportation. 



It seems pi'oper, then, to consider the past and present production of 

 these states with unusual care. Those selected are Oliio, Indiana, 

 Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Wiscc)usin, ^Minnesota, 

 California.
