EIGHT acres of land in Maine devoted to corn, wheat, rye, oats,
barley, buckwheat, potatoes and hay-one acre of each-produced
on an average in 1866, crops to the value of $270.97, according to
statistics returned to the Agricultural Bureau at Washington;
eight acres of the same in Wisconsin yielded crops, in the year
named, valued at $190.59. Maine farmers need not go West, or
leave the State to improve their condition.
