ANNUAL VARIATION IN YIELD OF CORN. 



Diagram XIV shows the average yield per acre of the entire area in 

 coru, as estimated for fourteen years past. It shows that five crops 

 have been under the average rate of yield (of 26 bushels), seven over an 

 average, and two, 1876 and 1884, as near as possible to such average. 

 Only two years in the ten between 1870 and 1880 had short crops, with 

 only one since that rose to a medium rate of yield. The figures are as 

 follows :
