Status OF the Farming Industry

There are l0, 43S, 922 persons engaged
in agricultural pursuits in the United
States, while all other industries en-
gage Is, $4,000 persons. One-third of
the entire area of this country is devot-
ed to tilling of the soil. There are to-
day 5,739657 farms in the United
States, and the value of farm property,
including improvements, stock and inn
plements, Is $40 ,5l4,00l 1913. The num-
Der of farms has quadrupled in the past
fifty years, while the value of the farm
ing land to-day is five times as great as
the selling price of fifty years ago.
More than 100000 farms have been
laid out and fenced in by settlers,
principally in the West, in the past ten
years. Fifteen thousand farms were
given away by the Government during
1901. When the Indian Territory is
opened for settlement, about 1904,
5000, 900 acres of fine farming land will
be offered for sale at low price, and
farming will receive another valuable
acquisition to its ranks. There are
06000,000 acres of unsettled land in
the United States ready for immediate
occupancy. The total acreage used for
farming purposes is S4l, 100000 acres
an area which would contain England,
Scotland, Ireland, Wales, France, Ger
many, Austria, Spain, Japan, and the
Transvaal, leaving sufficient room for
several smaller countries to go in
around the edges. None of these coun-
tries, or all of them combined, would
make respectable showing with our
agricultural products. The value of
farm exports in 1901 was 1851 ,62S, 3d.

WILL CELEBRATE
KEEL OF BATTLESHIP NEBRASKA
TO BIZ: LAID JULY 4
At the Shipyards Of Moran Bros, Seattle
Event to Be Made the Occasion Of a
Big Celebration-Chamber Of Commerce
Takes acknowledgements Savage Of Ne
beaska and Staff Will Be Guests of II ono

Seattle, April 25.-A big celebration is
to be held in Seattle July Fourth, when
the keel of the United States battleship
Nebraska, now being built by Moran
Brothers, is to be laid. Action to that
effect has been taken by the, chamber of
commerce.
A committee of three was appointed
by President elise to confer with the
city council as to plans for the celebra-
ton and to report back to the chamber
at the meeting to be held next Wednes-
day.
The chamber of commerce committee,
as named by President elise, is j. F.
Trowbridge, chairman of the committee
on celebrations Jacob Furth, chairman
OF the committee on naval affairs, and
Josiah Collins, chairman of the commit
tee on entertainments, and G. r. Collins.
The question of celebration on the
date the keel of the battleship is to be
laid was brought up by A. j. Blethen.
Jr., just before the adjournment of the
chamber. Mr.. Blethen stated that it
had been publicly announced that
Morans would be ready by July to lay
the keel of the battleship, and that they
udu ulauc arrangements tndC the laying
should be done on that date. Acting on
the strength of the information, Mr..
Blethen stated that the Times had tele-
graphed to Governor Savage of Nebraska,
asking if the governor could be present.
A reply was received from the governor s
private secretary stating that Governor
Savage would be in position to attend a
celebration on that date, and that, if an
invitation was extended, he would en-
deavor to have his entire staff appear.
The Times Immediately conferred
with Robert Moran, telling him the
contents of the message from the
governor of Nebraska. Mr.. Moran
assured The Times that his company
would be ready by July to lay the keel
and that he favored a big celebration of
some kind. He thought, however, that
the celebration should not have the air
of private affair, but should be taken
up by the city council or the chamber of
commerce and that celebration in keep
ing with the important event be ar
ranged. Mr.. Blethen suggested that the
chamber take some action and thoreupon
the action above indicated was taken.
