Farmtnr as nn OccnpntIon.

By far the larger part Of the people Of
the United States are engaged in farming.
Tlling Of the soil seems to retain its pros
perity, and has lost none Of its popularity
since the days of Cincinpatus. Great as Is
the growth OF manufactures and great as is
the desire OF the young men who have
been raised upon the farm to 90 to thel
great cities and seek other employment,
there Is no danger that agriculture will
ever sink to the second place among the
employments Of this republic. 1t is an
independent, honorable and noble call
ing, for has it not been said that
"he who causes two blades of grass
to grow where only one grew before, is n
good farmer, or words to that effect? Take
the statistics Of the growth Of but two crops
during the last decade as an indication of
our agricultural progress. The production
OF wheat and corn in 1870 and in 1850 was
as follows, in bushels 1880, wheat, 459, ,4TO,-
sos; 1870, wheat, 2S7, 745, ,72G; 1850, cora,
l,754, ,86l ,5S5; 1870, corn, 76O,994 ,54O.s The
growth OF the wheat crop during the ten
years was l5l, 7SS3, $40 bushels, and the corn
crop sos, ,S66,0S6 bushels. 1t is true that
1880 was a rcma rkably productive
year. but the gain in corn and
wheat from 1870 to 1880, as here
show, was not much greater than that
from 1850 to 1870. And there is no reason
to doubt that the grain from 1880 to 1890
will be equally great. 1t is not to be-
wondered that our rapid progress in agri-
cultural production Is making foreigners
begin TO predict that we shall soon produce
more than we can sell. Evidently such
tacts from the farm as we give teach that
the United States should exert every en-
ergy to extend the foreign trade, by which
we may hope 10 obtain market for all Of
our products, however great they may be-
come.

evidence is contradictory to Browns. As
the committee are not through with Hess

records and pay rolls contradict or substan-
