PREFATORY NOTE. 



This circular brings together the principal agricultural sta- 

 tistics in relation to the New England States. It includes the 

 total land acreage in each State, the land in farms, the im- 

 proved land in farms, and the number of farms; also the 

 acreage and production for the last three years of the following 

 crops: corn, wheat, oats, potatoes, apples and hay; and also 

 the total number of cattle, sheep, horses and swine. In the 

 first set of tables the figures are compiled by crops and classes 

 of live stock, and in the second by States. 



It is hoped that this circular will be of use to the county 

 agents, agricultural investigators, agricultural speakers and 

 other persons who wish to find quickly agricultural statistics 

 about this section of the country without having to look 

 through bulky census reports to find them.
