Excerpt from Monthly Report of the Condition of the CropsNor is this all. The wants of Europe have established a great and rapidly increasing dependence upon the United States for its agricultural products. This is seen in the magnitude of the exportation of these, even when civil war has closed so many ports, and paralyzed the agriculture of so large a portion of the country. The world leans on us.To meet demands of this great magnitude is the mission of American agri culture. The merchant and the manufacturer, the Operative in the factory and the mechanic in the shop, those at home and those abroad - all, as much as the farmer, cannot but feel deeply interested in the monthly report of the progress of an agriculture upon which these classes depend.Statistical information is collected slowly, and generally not published until the immediate interest in them has passed away. Thus, for instance, the American Almanac, an annual statistical publication of the highest authority, does not generally bring its statistics nearer than two years of the time of its publication. Even the imports and exports of the United States are not made generally known by the Treasury Department until eighteen months after the close of the fiscal year. In the mean time the vast crops have been sown and harvested and sold, with no reliable information of their amount, save what cer tain interests obtain through agencies, in which the public are not regarded as having any concern, nor any right to the information they give.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
