Last year it was 8,664,281 acres, the highest on re- cord. This was announced by the minister of agriculture. The reason high wages asked by farm laborers, rather than an actual shortage of help, also to the desire of many har vesters to summer fallow large por- tions of their land, after last year's heavy yield. Many low-lying fields were too wet for seeding and this also contributed to the decrease. .. The oat area this year is 2,062,411 acres, as compared with 2,121,845 acres last year, a slight decrease. Of barley there are this year 1,153,660 acres, as compared with 1,039,849 acres last year, Per Etre tbat THE GERMANS LOSE 23 WARSHIPS Special to-the Whig.
