ARMSBY COMPANY, SAN FRANCISCO PROSPERITY OF THE FARMER Crops Never Before Harvested at Such Level of Production and Value. The secretary of agriculture, Hon. James Wilson, begins his annual report to the president with a chapter on the "Farmers' Wealth and Well-being," in which he speaks of the unsurpassed prosperity of the agriculturalist throughout the country. The secretary says: "Another year of unsurpassed prosperity to the farmers of this country has been added to the most remarkable series of similar years that has come to the farmers of any country in the annals of the world's agriculture. Production has been unequaled: its value has reached the highest figure yet attained; the value of the farmers' national surplus still maintains the magnitude that has built up the balance of trade by successive additions for many years sufficient to change the nation from a borrorer into a lender; there is a continuation of the unprecedented savings that have embarrassed local banks with their riches and have troubled farmers to find investments; and, as if all of these manifestations of a high degree of well-being were not enough, the farms themselves with the crops of preceding except potatoes, barley, tobacco and buckwheat. The ceilings rice, more than many their previous strong position duction, and their aggregated 4,521,000,000 bushels with successive additions for many years sufficient to change the nation from a borrorer into a lender; there is a continuation of the unprecedented savings that have embarrassed local banks with their riches and have troubled farmers to find investments; and, as if all of these manifestations of a high degree of well-being were not enough, the farms themselves have increased in value to a fabulous extent. "Farm crops have never before been harvested at such a high general level of production and value. The partial failure of two or three second-class crops make no apparent impression upon the great aggregate of all crops. HIGH CROP VALUES. "Corn has reached the highest production with 2,708,000,000 bushels, a gain of 42,000,000 over the next lower year, 1899. In value, also, the corn crop of this year is higher than that of the next lower year, 1904, by $128,000,000, and the total value may be $1,216,000,000. No other crop is worth more than half as much. "Second in order of value among all kinds of crops is the hay crop, which takes the second place back from the cotton crop, which held it for the two preceding years. Many hay crops have exceeded in tons the product of this year, but because of high prices the crop reaches a value of $605,000,000, which is higher by $34,000,000 than the crop of 1893. "Cotton, including seed, stands third in value among the leading crops of the year, although some uncertainty still remains concerning its quality and value. It can only be said that its value, including seed, is expected to rise well toward $750,-000,000, and will be nearer that figure, or above it, in proportion as the expectations of cotton planters are realized with regard to higher prices. "Fears last year that the United States had fallen to the level of its consumption in the production of wheat were ill-founded. The short with the crops of preceding except potatoes, barley, tobacco and buckwheat. The cessation rice, more than many their previous strong positionduction, and their aggregation 4,521,000,000 bushels, with a value of $2,123,000,000, or $3,000 over last year. FARMERS BECOME BANKER "Naturally such a large population as the farm induces wealth and surplus extent that they are, have which they invest in various since in this country the stock its hiding place are not the bank. One of the most now growths of savings by farmers very great multiplication national banks in recent year der the amendment to their banking act, permitting theization of banks with a less than $50,000, as many these banks were organized March 14, 1900, to October excluding those organized in contiguous possessions. They are distributed mostly through the South and North Centres in rural regions, where they for their business primarily rectly upon the farmers' pand, secondarily, upon the merchants and persons of employment, who themselves pendent upon the prospering farmers.

It can only be said that its value, including seed, is expected to rise well toward $750,000,000, and will be nearer that figure, or above it, in proportion as the expectations of cotton planters are realized with regard to higher prices. "Fears last year that the United States had fallen to the level of its consumption in the production of wheat were ill-founded. The short crop of that year is followed this year by the second wheat crop in size that this country has ever produced, 684,000,000 bushels, and the value of this crop, $525,000,000, overtops the highest value before reached, in 1891, by $11,000,000. "Although unrelated in culture, the common process of growing sugar beets and sugarcane permits their combination in a statement that their united value this year is estimated to be in the neighborhood of $50,000,000. This is a farm value for the raw material from which sugar, syrup, molasses and feeding stuffs are derived in process of manufacture. EXCEPTIONAL GENERAL LEVEL. "While it may be observed that only one crop—corn—reached its highest production this year, four crops reached their highest value—namely, corn, hay wheat and rice. The general level of production was high and that of prices still higher, so that no crops for which separate estimates can be made fall below third place in total value compared If the capital of these been sent from Boston and it would have been such an ing as was common fifteen but, instead of coming from origin, the capitl of these come from the farmers.

The same the establishment of these reported from the South Central and Western states. DECADENCE OF CROP I "Nothing has been of great moment to the cotton than the profitable price during the past three years been the means of lifting of a rut that at times f with dispair. The crop was a necessity immediate civil war, is disappearing has not already gone, and the planters from its bond.

Finally such a large class of operation as the farmers, prohealth and surpluses, to the that they are, have savings they invest in various ways, this country the stocking and place are not the savings one of the most notable outof savings by farmers is the that multiplication of small banks in recent years. Undemandment to the national act, permitting the organization banks with a capital of $50,000, as many as 1754 of banks were organized from 1905, to October 31, 1905, by those organized in the nonius possessions. These banks distributed mostly throughout South and North Central states regions, where they depend on business primarily and divon the farmers' prosperity, condarily, upon the village tents and persons of other empt., who themselves are depupon the prosperity of the A capital of these banks had from Boston and New York have been such a proceedas common fifteen years ago; head of coming from such an capital of these banks has from the farmers. The state commissioner of Kansas, in his for 1904, states that it has atera of small banks in isolated cities, and so many have been salable. INCREASE IN FARM VALUES. "Such an account of the farms of the United States as is given in the foregoing matter may seem too optimistic in tone and too extravagant in expression. With the expectation that the story of the year would present this appearance, and to verify or discredit it, the department undertook and has just completed an investigation of the changes in value per acre of medium farms since the census of 1900. The net result of these changes is an enormous increase in the values, which increase is entirely consonant with the period of high prosperity that the farmers have enjoyed since 1900, the only considerable blot upon an otherwise clean record of these years being the very deficient corn crop of 1901. FARMERS’ ECONOMIC POSITION. “If the farmers’ economic position in the United States is to be condensed to a short paragraph, it may be said that their farms produced this year wealth valued at $6,415,-000,000; that farm products are yearly exported with a port value of $875,000,000; that farmers have reversed an adverse international balance of trade, and have been building up one favorable to this country by sending to foreign nations a surplus which in sixteen years has aggregated $12,000,000,000, leaving an apparent net balance of trade during that time amounting to $5,092,000,-000 after an adverse balance against manufactures and other products not agricultural, amounting to $543,-000,000, has been offset. The manufacturing industries that depend on farm products for raw materials employed 2,154,000 persons in 1900 and used a capital of $4,132,000,000. Within a decade farmers have become prominent as bankers and as money lenders through large areas; from Boston and New York have been such a proceedas common fifteen years ago; head of coming from such an capitnl of these banks has from the farmers. The state commissioner of Kansas, in his for 1904, states that it has aera of small banks in isolated cities, and so many have been that today every hamlet in where any considerable buslone has a bank. This includes the number of small banks first, from the fact that farmbusiness men in these community had idle money that they to invest and banking apthem. The same cause for abolishment of these banks is from the South and North and Western groups of CADENCE OF CROP LIEN. ing has been of greater finanment to the cotton planters profitable price of cotton the past three years.
