Secretary Morton Says the Necessity
is for More Markets.
COMPETITION BECOMING INTENSE
Still the intelligent AgrcuIturist
Has a Happy Future Predicted.
AN NTERES TING TALK

Yes. there is no question of greater i'm
portance to the American people than the
question of our agriculture, because it af-
fects not only the happiness of the farming
community. but the general prosperity of
the nation" said Julius Sterling Morton
Secretary of Agriculture. in response to an
interrogatory from Star reporter.
1t was 1:D o'clock in the morning, the
hour when most government officials are
wrapped in the arms of Morpheus, that the
reporter called upon the Secretary by ap-
pointment to obtain an interview with him
upon the subject of agriculture in the
United States, and its future prospects.
The Secretary evidently has inherited some
of the qualities Of his Mayflower ancestors,
fer already had he been at his desk at
tending to his mail for some time, having
dictated more than twenty letters to his
steE osrapher before the reporters arrival.
Having finished his morning mail he but
toned his tightly fitting black Prince Albert
around his rather rotund figure straigiten-
ed himself up in his arm chair, and said in
reply to the question as to what he con-
sidered the most pressing need Of the Amer
lean farmer:
I'm my Judgment the most pronounced
necessity of the American farmer today is
more markets for his crops rather than
more crops for the market. The demand

A Large Customer.


During that year the wheat. flour and
rye alone, which was exported aggre-
gated nearly $11OOO0,OOO in excess of the
export values during the six years from
1890 to 1895. inclusive. During the year
ending June 80, 1894, the United States i'm
ported from the United Kingdom of Great
Britain $107. 100000 worth; that is to say,
In that time the American people bought
16 4-1O per cent of all their imports in
Great Britain. But during the same pc
riod, if we include the possessions of the
United Kingdom of Great Britain, the
cent of the total value of all imports into
this country from English speaking people.
During the same period of time Ameri-
cans exported to the EngliSh-speaking peo-
pie of Europe $431 100000 worth of pro-
ducts and commodities out of an entire
total of $S92, 100000 worth. Nearly one
half of the total expert output of the
United States therefore has been to En-
gish markets. If we take all the British
one customer We find that they take $523,-
100000 worth of our products, or nearly
60 per cent of the whole during the years
1873 and 1894.
The foregoing figures teach the import
ance of encouraging by legitimate indi-

for American farm products in foreign
countries is. to be sure, already large and
encouraging, but it may be doubled trebled
and intensified by analyZing it carefully
and then skillfully catering to it. To illus
trate: My report for 1894 shows that Danish
bacon brought $l4 per hundred weight in
the United Kingdom of Great Britain, while
American bacon during the same year
brought only 50 per hundred weight. The
reason that the first named meat brought
the United States was that the former was
mildly cured, not oversmoked, and was not
overwhelmed. That is to say, it was
streaked with lean and fat. 1t was fat
tened, killed and cured to meet the British
taste and demand That from the United
States was fattened in our own way and
cured to suit ourselves rather than our Gus
toners, so that 1t brought s19,357376, while
if it had been cured as the Danes cure their
meat it would have brought SIS, 1S2, ,300.''

Mrs. Margaret Treadwell
of Milburn, Long Island, in
an interview had with her
on the 24th day of May,
1895, said: 1.-TWO years ago

different kinds OF herb
teas, but they didn't seem
to do mitch good-Catnip

kind OF set against that.
One day a lady asked me if
l would try some of her
medicine-Ripans Tabules
she called them. They

we'll in years. We work

what is considered the finest bacon of
Europe, Mr.. Secretary?'
THE standard bacon of Europe is the
Wiltshire. The packers of Calme in Wilt
shire, England, pay the highest price for
porkers which weigh from 13O to 100
pounds and have a thickness of fat on the
back not exceeding two and one-quarter
inches. They pay the lowest price for
swine weighing 240 pounds and upwards,
with fat on the back three inches in thick
ness. The former. that is to say, the light
pigs, bring in our money 9 cents a pound
dive weighD at packing houses. Just as
soon as our packers study the tastes and
demands of foreign customers they will
create a broader market for American
bacon throughout the world, and thus our
own pork producers will be enlightened
to that quality and size of pigs which find
the readiest and most profitable market
DO you believe, Mr.. Secretary, that the
United States will ever become so densely
populated that We will consume our en-
tire agricultural output?"
Ne he replied thoughtfully. THE
general belief Is that the United
States cannot be SO densely populated
as to consume all of it's own farm
products. when its arabic lands are
put to their utmost capability of fru-
number 4.564,G46 They average 13I acres
each. Their aggregate valuation is $13,-
279,252, $40 The average value of each
farm is $2,9O9, and according to the CEN
are mortgaged for about 16 per cent of
their valuation. Now, what other line of
investment is capable of giving such sat
isfactory results as the $500 invested in
the average farm of 1871 acres in the United
States provided the said farm is managed
with the same skilled industry and vigi-
lance that is required in the management
of manufacturing, mercantile and transpor
ia ation business?
Some time since circular No. 3 was is
sued by the United States Department of
Agriculture. from the section of foreign
markets. That circular contains but four
pages and yet it gives the imports and ex-
ports of the United States for the years
1893 and 1894. 1t has been criticised by
partisan newspapers because 1t did not
compare the years 1894 and 1892 as to the
agricultural exports. The fiscal year 1892
was the year which included the exports
of the phenomenal or bumper wheat crop
of 1891, when there was a pronounced fail
ure of wheat throughout the greater part
of Europe. That year our export values
were swollen to phenomenally high figures
and because of the abnormal conditions
then existing was already made unaval-
able as a comparative year. 1t is safe to
say that the extraordinary value of ex-
ports for 1892 was wholly due to the in
crease of the foreign demand for our agri-
cultural products.
