VERMONT STANDS At THE HEAD or Thirty |
SEVEN STATES AND TERRITORIES IN THE F.
AVERAGE VALUE or ALL FARM rRoprc- |
r1nNs TO EACH PERSON ENGAGED IN AGRI- |
CULTURE.
IN. q. Howe Of Newfane in the Burlington Free
Press
In an editorial on an article that appear
ed in the Free Press a few weeks ago, com
pairing some of the agricultural products of
Vermont with the same products in the
several states and in the United States, &c
cordlng to the average to each farm and to
each person engaged in agriculture, lead
ing Vermont paper says that the figures
giving the relation of the products to each
person engaged in agriculture meet the
argument common against any showing as
regards farms or acres, that dispropor-
tionate amount of labor goes into the pro
duction here The quantity and value Of
a product according to the number of per
SONS that it takes to produce it is certainly
as fair an indication of the amount Of prof
it to the producers as it is possible to obtain
invested This is especially true Of the
products of agriculture, because the amount
Of hard labor which enters into their pro
duction is less than for other products In
general farmers are themselves the direct
producers of what is grown on the farms
The net profit upon the value of the prod
ucts of farm, which the labor of an indi-
vidual produces, will depend somewhat up
on the cost of the farm or the amount of
capital invested.
The census enumeration of persons en-
gagged in agriculture included farmers,
farm laborers, herdsmen, gardeners, nur
serymen, etc. The estimated value of all
farm productions, whether sold or consum-
ed on the farm, including orchard, garden,
and forest products, was taken by enumer-
ators who visited each farmer, and placed
upon the schedule his estimates with such
notifications as the judgment of the emu
merator might suggest. The estimates of
these total values of all farm productions
are, no doubt, approximately correct,
though they are considered by the super
intendent of the census as representing in
the aggregate less than the true value, "by
reason, as he says, "of the utter indispo-
sition of the average agriculturist to reck
on whatever is grown and consumed upon
the farm for the support of himself and
family among the products he is called up
on to appraise." 1t may be true that in
Vermont the value of farm productions as
reported by the census is too small The
tendency to exaggerate the amount of pro
duction in the states and territories that
have been doomed" puts our state at a
disadvantage in a comparison of these sta
tistics, but, taking the figures as they stand
we find that Vermont leads 81 states and
territories in the total value of all farm
productions according to the number OF
persons engaged in agriculture.

The above figures do not appear in the
census report they have been computed
from the tables of occupations and the to-
tails of all farm productions, as given by the
census of 1880. The average value of all
farm productions in the United States for
the census year was $3.50 to each person
engaged in agriculture The average in
Vermont being $500, it exceeded the aver
age in the United States by the sum of Sill.
Vermont having no large cities and but
few large towns, cannot be expected to ex
coed in the value of its farm products, av
eraged to each farmer, the states having
much of their farming territory in large
towns or near great cities. Farm lands III
the vicinity of the cities bear high prices,
and to yield the same net profit as the farm
lands of Vermont the value of the product
should be higher. The state of New York
has about one-half of its population in cit
les hence the price of land and the price
of its products is enhanced, but not neces-
sarily the net profit from the products. The
value of all farm products in New York,
for the census year, averaged to each per
son engaged in agriculture SAP, in Calfor-
MIA $40, Nevada 1888 New Jersey 1901,
Oregon S4SS, Illinois 1896, Iowa $40,
Pennsylvania $431, Montana $426, Con
necticut S4O9. Only 10 out of the A. states
and territories have a greater value of
farm products to each person engaged in
agriculture than Vermont, and it is ques-
ton whether the net profit in these 10
,vould ayerage better
1t will be seen from the above table that
among the states and territories in which
the total value of all farm productions to
each person engaged in agriculture falls
below that in Vermont, are most of those
to which the tide of emigration has been
flowing
The value of all farm productions has
been taken but twice-in 1870 and 1880.
The census of 1870 agrees substantially
with that of 1880 in showing the high rank
of Vermont in the value of the agricultural
products of the state. Computing be
fore from the table of occupations and the
table of products, it is found that the value
of all farm productions averaged to each
person engaged in agriculture, according to
the census of 1870, as follows

ELIZABETH ZANE.

This dauntless pioneer rnaiden's name
Is inscribed In gold on the scroll Of Fame;
She was the lassie who knew no fear
When the tomahawk CLEANED on the far frontier.
II deeds Of daring should VIII renown,
Let US honor this daInSel OF Wheeling town,
Who braved the savage with deep disdain-
Bright eyed, buxom Elizabeth Zane.
Twas more than hundred years ago,
They were close beset by the dusky foe;
They had spent of powder their scanty store,
And who the gauntlet should run for moreg
She sprang 20 the portal and shouted, Il
IT'S better girl than man should diel
ny loss would be but the garrison's gain
Cnbar the CATER said Elizabeth Zane,
The powder was sixty yards away
Around her the foeu1en IN ambush lay;
As she darted from shelter they gazed with awe,
Then wildly shouted, "A s9uawr' "a squAw!"
She neither sverved to the left or right,
Swift as al antelope's was her fight
"Quick! Open the door," she cried, amain,
--For hope forlorn! It's Elizabeth Zaner'
No time had she TO waver or wait
Back she must go ere it be too late;
She snatched from the table its cloth IL haste
And knotted it deity about her waist
Then filed it with powder-never, ween,
Had powder SO lovely q magazine;
Then, scoring the bullets a deadly rain,
Like startled fawn, fed Elizabeth Zane
She gained the fort with her precious freight;
Strong hands fastened the oaken gate;
Brave mems eyes were suffused with tears
That had there been strangers for many years
From flint lock rifles again there sped
'Gainst the skulking redskins storm Of lead,
And the war whoop sounded that day in vain,
Thanks TO the deed Of Elizabeth Zane.
