The crop of Peas was one of those which may be considered 

 satisfactory, although the excess above the average was only 

 one-tenth of a bushel. The quantity of this crop grown in 

 Scotland is so small that it has but a trifling effect on the 

 general result, but it will be observed that the yield in that 

 country was appreciably better than in England and 

 Wales.

An excess above the ten years' average of half-a-ton per 

 acre in the estimated yield of Potatoes affords some set-off 

 against the failure of other crops, and is the more welcome 

 as it follows immediately upon the very deficient crop of
