FARM PRODUCTS FOR 1891. 



The farm products for 1891 are shown by the statis- 

 tical reports to amount to : 



491 bushels wheat, @ $1.00 $491 



12,900 bushels oats, @ .50 6,450 



36,032 tons hay, @ $20.00 720,640 



481,024 barrels potatoes, @ $1.00 481,024 



60,235 barrels turnips, @ $1.00 60,235 



86,411 barrels other roots, @ $1.00 86,411 



401,716 pounds butter, @ .20 83,343 



154,021 pounds wool, @ .20 30,804 



Milk and vegetables 96,000 



Total $1,562,398 



DOMESTIC ANIMALS. 



If to this aggregate be added the value of the 

 calves, sheep, swine, horses, goats and fowls raised 

 during the same year, in round numbers $732,000.00, 

 we have a grand total of $2,295,398.00 for the agricul- 

 tural products of the island for the year 1891. The 

 fact must be taken into consideration that this pro- 

 duction has not been from the interior, but from a 

 Comparatively narrow belt in close proximity to the 

 coast. It is thus conclusively shown what the agri- 

 cultural possibilities of this land of "cod-fish and fog" 

 would be, if the fertile valleys of the interior were 

 placed under proper cultivation.
