CHANGES 0F A NEN YEAR.
The Notable Improvement on the
Agricultural Conditions
Within Four Years.
The PUBLIC HARDLY APPRECIATES IT.
The Farm Products of Last Year
were Worth One billion SIX Hun
dred Millions More than In Either
of the Preceding Two Years of
Depression-OtherF Figures.

New York, March 15.-"The in,-
provement in agricultural conditions
now, contrasting with the depth of de-
preston in 1s94-6, is as little appre-
ciated by the outside public as was
the farmers condition during the
hard times. 1t Is conservative, how
ever, to say that the produce OF the
United States farms for the past year
was worth to the farmers over S1,6o0,-
100000 more than in either Of the de-
pressed years noted This is an aver
age advance of 81 per cent. in values
compared with the low point"
These statements are made by the
American Agriculturalist for March,
which contains an elaborate review Of
the agricultural situation from
financial and industrial standpoint.
The live stock of the country is said
to be worth $7OO,OOo,O0O more than
during the hard times, or gain of 3S
per cent. Staple crops are worth
S4OO, 10000 more than then, while
other crops show an increase of $780,
100000 in value, or a gain of 25 per
cent compared with the depression Of
'94-05-96. The product of live stock,
such as meats, dairy products, calves,
mutton, sheep and lambs, hides and
pelts, colts, mules, etc, are said to
show a gain of $370,OOO,Oo or 40 per
cent. above the low point.

Mr.. L. o. Popence, one of the owners,

that the subscriptions would net the
