FARMERS ENCOURAGED.

Governments OfneiaIs Csrtxin That This
z Years 'nrv-st Will Yield Large Profits.
WASHINGTON, June 37.-There Is new
hope for the farmera The year 1895
promises to bring them rather better
returns for their labor than last year
and better than the year before. The
wheat crop Of the country is sure to be
the largest since 1892, and larger than
the average Of the last l6 years. This
years wheat crop Is unoHicially esti.
mated by the department OF agricul.
ture at 475,CO0, 900 bushels. This has
been exceeded only six times since
$780, The Importance OF the wheat
crop to the farmer Is not so much In
the total yield as in its market value.
According to the present outlook,
the value Of this years wheat
crop will greatly exceed that
OF the last three years. The
department Of agriculture does
not presume to estimate the prices Of
any commodities in advance Of the
market. but unofficial information is
to the effect that the average value Of |
wheat this year is likely to be about
81 cents, aeainst 81 cents last year, 40
cents in 1894 81 cents in 1893 and 90
cents in 1899 II the estimate Of 81
cents for this years crop be borne out
by the market quotations during the
remainder Of the year, the total value
Of the 1896 wheat crop will be $780,
900. QUO

Gates prospective yield that closely

the average for the country being 999
per cent. The average for the year

acreage is 1Ol.7, and the condition Of
Rll wheat Is $40

COUNTY LEYIES.
Grand Total

These amounts are computed on
the total valuation of the county as
eqvalized by the county board OF
equalization, which is $11, O71,O45.
In addition to the aforegoing the
board levies road district tax of 2
mills on all property outside of in
corporated cities.
The total levy for state and coun-
ty purposes is the same as last
year, but the road levy is two mills
less. There is a slight increase in
the total state levy over last year,
and a slight decrease in the total
county levy, but the sum total of
both is the same.
All county funds are now prac.
tically cash except the general fund.
This fund has a warrant indebted
ness of little over 100000 and a
bonded Indebtedness of 100000.
Because Of this Indebtedness, and
not on account ofcurrent expenses,
the levy for this particular fund
must necessarily be for several
years to come as high as the law
will permit.

and paid for the lands upon which they
had lived and labered. Ii WAS impossible
for farmers in the old States to protitably
sell their products in competition with
those of the newer States. grown upon
lands which cost their owners nothing.
Referring to the impression that great
er rates of interest are charged for mon-
ey loaned upon farms than for that loaned
upon other kinds Of real estate, Secretary
Morton states that the rate of Interest
charged on mortgages upon residential
property other than farms averages eigh-
ty-four hundredths of 1 per cent. less
than the rate of interest charged upon
farm loans.
During the isca. year just ended the
exported products of American farms ag
gregated SJ10.00O.O0O, an increase of
S1T.OOO,O00 over the preceding year. In
spite of this there was Il falling off in
the percentage Of agricultural products
exported to the total exports, but this
was due to the unprecedented sale abroad
of American manufactured goods. The
largest market for our products is adj
mitted to he the home market, but the
export trade is the regulator. the balance
for domestic trade. III follows that the
interest of the manufacturer as well as
the farmer is found in the most rapid
possible increase of the export of farm
products. General prosperity depends
absolutely upon agricultural prosperity,
and any commercial system which will
increase with celebrity and extend with
certainty the export of our farm prod
ucts will bc of the utmost advantage 10
agriculture and all those interested in its
profitable expansion.
