The number of farms sold is less
than for any year since these statis-
tics have been gathered, but the
prices are probably about the same
as we're received in 1895. 1t seems
hardly possible that prices for farms
can 90 much lower. Good farms can
be purchased in almost any part of
the state for a small price in compar-
ison with what these same farms
would have cost a few years ago.
The year 1895 was a hard year for
farmers, but the one just passed has
brought lower prices for farm pro-
ducts than any year for long time.
And, while crops have been abundant,
the revenue of the farm has been
SMALL still there is much less COM
planning than might be expected
under such conditions and the aver
age farmer takes a hopeful view of
the future, and, when comparing the
condition of his business with other
industries, he finds many reasons for
being contented with his prospects.
NEW INDUSTRIES.
The reports received show that
during the year 1857, 100 have been
invested in new manufacturing en-
terprises and that they are furnishing
employment for 353 persons. This
is but 500, 900 more than one half as
much as was invested in 1898, which
was the least of any of the six years
in which these statistics have been
collected. These enterprises are dis
tributed among the counties as fol-
