BOARD OF AGRICULTURE. 



THE BUREAU OF STATISTICS. 



In the sixth annual report from that department ( a volume 

 of 513 pages) the system of collating Statistics in an elaborate — 

 but condensed form, have been so perfected, that we deem a 

 repetition of the figures in this volume as unTiecessary, except in 

 a general way to show the estimated gross value of the Agricultural 

 products of Indiana for 1884, based upon the statements therein, 

 being a synopsis of the principal cereal crops, and the leading 

 products of the soil, as may be properly represented under the 

 name of "Agricultural Industries."
