Contrary to the assertions of Demo
cratic newspapers the condition Of the
masses has improved within the last
half century and continues to improve,
according to the report Of Carroll ID.
Wright, the government commissioner
of labor. Wages have not only In
creased, but prices of necessities hare
decreased, or remain the same. Mr..
Wright says that wages today are
worth more than fifty years ego, or . t
any continued period during the last
fifty years. The world over, the eco

Growth of our Farm Products.

Nothing could more surely and clear
~ indicate that the prevailing prosper
ity of the country is founded ON a
sound basis than the figures showing
the large increase in the value of
American farm products in recent
years. According to a statement just
issued by the Department of Agricul-
ture, the farmers of the United States
received 1885,, 296,1T2 more for their
products in 1900 than they did in 1899
The greatest advances We're observed
in corn and hay, the advance in the
price of the latter giving the farmers
over $50, 100000 more in 1900 for a
crop of 5o,000,0o0 tons than was receiv-
ed in 1909 for crop of 5G.655,756 tons.

large HAY Crop and Hay Stack.

A farmer near Corvallis, Ore, is re-
ported in the Oregonian as having 2615
acres of what is called beaver dam"
land, a part of which has been in tim
othy for over seven years, last year be-
ing the seventh year of cutting, and
one of the best they ever had. The
Weld was over four tons to the acre,
and they put over one hundred tons in
enc stack. which they sold to Il Govern
ment contractor at 50 per ton, or near
~ 81. coo for the stack. We doubt IL so
much was put in one stack anywhere
else in the United States. Near the
edge of the meadow stood two large fir
trees. and wire was stretched be-
tween them fifty feet from the ground
then by ropes, pulleys and hay fork
the hay was carried to the top of the
stack. 1t is not often that timothy

The greatest atyances were IN corn

ing the farmers over S33,O00,000 more

than was received in the previous year
for the crop of 56,615, 1856 tons, If the
increased value of stock and other
property were added TO the increase In
the value of products, it would proba-
bly, be found that the four years Of

ed to the agricultural interests of the

The revival of trade which followed
Immediately upon the enactment of the
Dingley law in 1897, to take the place
of the Wilson law abomination, was so
remarkable that the free-traders were
hard put to find some argument or ex-
cuse for their discredited policy, They
looked over the field of industry, hunt
ing for one halting enterprise, and at
,ast they were rewarded The cotton
industry, as they almost exultantly
pointed out, was still having hard sled
ding in spite of the restoration of pro-
lection. AT every report of the growing
prosperity along all other lines their
nvariable retort was, "Behold the cot
con industry" But this last support
ST theirs went some time ago, and
every month that goes by only serves
to show what poor and temporary
support it was The facts now avail
able go to show that the FAN River
cotton mills paid. during 1900, an ay-
arage dividend of T.25 per cent on
combined capital Of over S21 ,000, 600,
und that the New Bedford cotton mills
did even better, for. according to fig
ures given in the Textile Manufactur-
ers' Journal, they paid an Iverage diyi-
dent of 9.19 per cent on a combined
capital of S19500,000 1t isn't strange
that during the last campaign the free
traders were driven to the point of
sneering at prosperity altogether. and
TO attributing the liking of the Ameri-
can people for prosperity to an over
weening consideration for their stom-
achs.

When 70 Plant Sugar Beets.

The Michigan station decides that it
is safe and wise to plant beets as early
in the spring as we do any farm crop;
that prolonging the date of planting
gives longer period for thinning and
in ordinary years should lengthen the
season of ripening and harvesting, and
finally that the date of planting seems
to have but little influence on the per-
centage of sugar. DR.. Wiley says.

the Spring as possible

Some one expresses an opinion that
the scab on potatoes is worse where
the ground is packed solid or is allow
ed to crust over If this is true 1t
is true it should be less abundant where
Il strawy manure is used than where
commercial fertilizers are used. which
is not often &;ie case. a soil made Jose
and porous by having green rye or
heavy grass sward plowed under just
before the seed is planted will grow

vegetation kills the fungus that causes
the scab.-Exchange.

II is well enough to keep In mind
that the only time since 1850 that the
