A Grand Variety of Rural Profits by the States
A report from the Agricultural Department surveys state by state farming priorities. Hay and dairy dominate Maine and New Hampshire, while Florida favors sugar cane and tobacco dominates several Southern states. Corn and stock raising appear prominently in many others, with wheat leading in Minnesota and California. The account notes wide regional differences in crops and husbandry across the union. A tangential sketch mentions Rev Dr Parr, a bell-loving clergyman who enjoyed smoking between services, and a remark about the cape Cod pond-lilly collected from a single locality.
