INTRODUCTION. 



the bulk of the crop is raised in a few counties. The county of Otsego produces 3,507,069 pounds ; 

 Madison, 1,520,657 pounds; Schoharie, 1,441,648 pounds; Oneida, 838,460 pounds; Hcrkimer, 

 707,910 pounds ; Montgomery, 515,584 pounds. These six counties in New York produce over eight 

 and a half million pounds of hops, out of a total crop of eleven millions in the States and Territories. 



TOBACCO. 

 Pounds of tobacco produced in the United Slates in 1860. 



The amount of tobacco raised in the States and Territories in 1850 was 199,752,655 pounds; and 

 in 1860 434,209,461 pounds, showing an increase of nearly 220 per cent. 



Of this amount Virginia produced in 1860 123,968,312 pounds, and Kentucky 108,126,840 pounds. 

 In other words, these two States produced in 1860 more than half the tobacco grown in the United States. 



In 1850 Virginia raised 56,803,227 pounds, and Kentucky 55,501,196 pounds, or 112,304,423 

 pounds together. In other words, in 1850, out of a total product of tobacco of less than two hundred 

 million pounds in the States and Territories, these two States produced over one hundred and twelve 

 million. It will be seen, too, that the increase in the crop of tobacco in these two States since 1850 is 

 over 100 per cent., which, considering the magnitude of the crop in 1850, is very remarkable.
