This Year.
Prices They Received as Compared

Convincing Argument in Favor OF the

Farm products in the United States
in 1900 are worth $1,212,0 100000 more
than the same products were in 1896.
These figures are official, and are
from the United States department OF
agriculture.
The increase comes in more crops
and in the aggregate value of live stock
on the farms. The gain in farm wealth
is shown in the following table:
