The sixteen states above referred 10
have a total area In improved farm lands
of la9,326,S76 acres. The increased value
OF the production OF these lands will be
SiGj,So0,OJO annually, an increased annual
earning of S2.33 l-3 per acre. II the mar
ket value Of land depend upon its earning
power. and the ratio Of increase Of value
be taken at four times the increase in
yearly earnings, then the improved farm
lands In these sixteen states will increase
In value 1893 13 per acre, or Sl,S66,cC0.-
600, as the immediate result OF the opening
Of the Maritime Canal of North America.
Vast as this sum appears, II is a par
tial statement OF the gain TO the West re
sulting from deep draft navigation to the
seabosrd, because it is based on the short
crops of 1894, and does not take account Of
truck, fruits, small grains, dairy products,
poultry, eggs, horses and mules, and wood,
timber, bark, etc. neither does it take &C
count of mine products and manufacture,
or the increase in values Ia city and manu-
featuring property"
What ySil the farmers Of the above
mentioned sixteen states do about
this? They can do great things Tor
their W benefit If they will act Wig
orously. They can make such au agi-
