THE CROPS IN THE UNITED STATES.
From the last monthly report uf U.S Department of agriculture we learn that the corn crop or 1875 has been one of the largest ever grown in the country — a general increase on last year's crop all over the country of from 10 to 16 per cent. The quality of the crop was not so good as that of 1874. The potato crop has been extraordinary, both in quality and quantity — fully 25 per cent above that of last year, in some cases nearly 400 bushels to the acre ; selling* in many places at 15 to > 20 cents a bushel. Cotton— About 4,000,000 bales. Tobacco — Seventy-four per cent over that of last year. Fruits — Generally a poor year, especially in apples. Hay — A small percentage above last year over the whole country. : Generally the return is very satisfactory.
