while the South IL pf0spering indus

suffering from the low prices for their

things into consideration. that the ag-

with the heavy indebtedness the south

strurtion, bat that there has been a
steady improvements rapid one rs
compared with the condition Of the
farmers In the west-no one who has
studied the situation can doubt And
so the Record finds, saying on this
matter:
I'VE addressed letters 10 the gov
errors and agricultural commissioners
Of the southern States. asking ~ to
the financial condition Of the farming
interests whether farm and crop
liens and mortgages were increasing
or decreasing, whether farmers were
becoming more prosperous or were
yearly getting deeper In debt, whether
labor was efficient. whether public
and private schools were receiving in
creased attention or not, etc. With
out dissenting voice the farmers are
declared to be steadily improving their
financial conditions, debts having rap
Idly decreased, labor-saving implc-
ments are yearly becoming more gen
.erally used and the present condition
OF the farmer Is better than for many
years, with the prospects for the fu-
ture exceedingly bright"
But this improvement Is best shown
In the statistics presented. which We
give again in fun, although some Of
them have already been given by the
Times Democrat. Look, for instance,
ut the returns OF the agricultural pro-
ducts and see II these indicate any de-
cline In agriculture. And let II be re
membered that the increase is with
reduced prices for farm products, and
that the production Of crops Is there
fore much larger than their value in
dictates.
