Farms at Home and Abroad
The potato crop in Jersey is worth about three and a half million pounds to growers annually. A farmer near Scott City Kansas raised enough wheat on 160 acres to pay for 320 adjacent acres. Tea production in Assam records its smallest harvest on record with a 3,000,000 pound drop from last year. Linseed is shipped to England from India at low prices amid silver’s cheapness. Indian exports to the U S are also high at low values. Colonial wool prices at London rose from 18 to 21 cents per pound across the 1885–1891 period. Australian fruit shipments to London last season yielded losses for shippers, threatening the English market if repeated.
