the contrary, presented a very marked contrast to the 
unprecedentedly low return of the preceding year. The 
magnitude of the change is evidenced by the estimated total 
produce reaching very nearly 24,000,000 tons as against 
FG;6@0,0co fons in 1899. Whe yield exceeds that of the 
previous season by nearly 5 tons per acre, and the contrast 
was even greater in England than in Scotland, where the 
failure of the crop in 1899 was not so pronounced.
