Cotton is king. For years this was undisputcd. America raises five-sixths of the cotton of the world. Of the l2, $50. 900 bales re- ported in the last statistics the United States supplied 10,7OO, 900. The percentage does not grow less with the years. This country sup plies the material for mankind. and, so far as proportion goes, cot ton IS more king than ever.
 Wheat is king. There came a time when the production of wheat became more important than our production of cotton. Today we raise nearly twice as much as any other country on the globe, and with the coming of irrigation the totals will be vastly increased. in spite of the floods and the tempests and the misfortunes of the wea ther, the crops this year are so large that they can scarcely De garnered. Cut West fancy prices are being offered for farm hands, and the waving fields are rich with wealth, and the bankers are calling for d more elastic currency, so that the crops may be moved. Wheat, too, Is more king than ever
 Corn Is king. There IS d dignity about wheat which has been denied to the more humble maize. but when 1t comes to totals and to dol lars and cents, corn triumphs. Now it is upward of two billion bushels a year and it is still increasing. Not only that, but it IS making its way to the tables of Europe, and the exports grow as its good qualities are appreciated. This year the corn fields are finer than they have ever been, and millions of dollars will go to the growers.
 The hog is king. We think of beef as our best meat product, but the proportion of beef to hog is something like the proportion of wheat to corn. The number of hogs packed and marketed in this country every year now exceeds thirty millions, and the time is rap idly coming when the United States will supply a million hogs a week for the appetite of mankind. So, we must remember that 1t is a great year for hogs.

counterparts in the worlds pro- duction. But the most interesting fact is, that the crops this year will be worth from S3OO,000.000 to $400,000,0O0 more than they were in 1902.
 We have great storms. Floods wash out thousands of square miles of land. Millions in crops are de- stroyed. The losses seem stagger- ing. Noah's flood grows small in its financial damages.
 And vet so great is the country, so vast are its interests. and sp universally distributed its crops, that the years figures are in creased.
 On top of it all, the American farmer stands. HE is king. After all we read about transac- tions in Wall Street, the wonder ful revenues of the Government. the tremendous statistics of trans portation, and the great totals that make up our unparalleled prosper ity, we see that the basis of it all is the farm, and the chief factor of our wealth and well-being IS the farmer. He is the sovereign in the nation of sovereigns.
 The farmers of America are large ly feeding and clothing the nations of the civilized world. It is to them that IS due the new fact in history which makes the United States the creditor nation of the earth.
 We can scarcely realize the changes that have taken place in farming life until we investigate the facts. The American farmer of this generation is an educated man, with a broad grasp of condi- tions and a knowledge of details which enable him to get the largest results from his crops.
 1 At first, the agricultural colleges met with little favor, but as soon as they showed their practical value they began to increase. and now we have them in practically every state, making experiments, cdu- eating young men and contributing to the profit and practicability Of agriculture. So far has this gone that the farmer of today IS able to get his regular crops without i'm poverishing his soil. The produc- ton more than .lecrs pace with l,c demand. and however nrHch Inc

he meets, his home and his bank account both bear evidence to his advancement.
 It IS no small fact which was re- gently stated at the Farmers Ma tional Congress in these words:
 ''The application of scientific methods has enabled the American farmer not only to prevent the de- terioration of the virgin soil which made this country the worlds greatest producer, but an intelli- gent understanding of that soil and its capabilities, coupled with the use of new machinery and new methods, enables him to make its products of more value to him than ever before. The man who in 1867 gave up one bushel out of every six of his wheat to pay transportation from Chicago to New York, now gets the same transportation for one bushel out of every sixteen" There are numerous problems that confront the farmer today. He is solving most of them by more active interest n.pOlitics. He wants ship canal across the Isthmus in order that the market for his pro- auctions may be extended. He would like to see American prod ucts that go abroad carried on American ships, so that the money he pays on freight may come to his own country.
 Doubtless, his greatest difficulty is reliable and intelligent labor. This he seeks in every section of the land. Sometimes he advertises for it. as was recently seen in Kan sas, where cry was sent to the East for more men to gather in the haryests. He looks to the future, when the farm will be more at tractive to healthy workers than the crowded streets of the cities, and he is improving conditions so rapidly that he may see this come to pass before many years.
 Lastly, the farmer is thorough going patriot. He feeds and clothes us, he wins our wars, he supports our churches and schoolhouses, and he supplies the men who shape i the destinies of our country.
 Search the biographies of the na- ton. and you will find that most Of the men who have achieved great ness were either f:ir'' 'rs or sons ok

wonderful figures of our lumber supply and added arguments for the preservation of our forests in order to prevent timber famine. Still, with all the exhaustion of the woods, the production and use of lumber were never greater than than they are this year. The produce of American agri- culture, including farm animals and their products, has an aggre- gate value annually of nearly S5,- 100000, ,000. Five billions of dol lars, please note. Corn has an annual value of be- tween $500, 100000 and S90O,000,- 900.
 Wheat has an annual value of nearly $4OO,OOO,OOO.
 Oats are worth more than S200,- coo, 900 year.
 Cotton runs from S3OO,OOO,0O0 up towards $4OO,OOO,000.
 Animals reach above S9O0,O00,- 900 towards billion annually. The dairy yields almost half billion.
 Poultry and eggs go close to $3O0, 100000.
 Products of agriculture form about two-thirds of our entire ex- ] port trade. Last year the exports from the farm amounted to S6C millions of dollars" says Secretary Wilson.
 There are no figures of the past with which to make comparisons The prosperity of the United States has simply distanced the arithmetic of wealth. We have given the figures that may be found in the latest collec- tions of statistics. They are suffi- ciently extraordinary, but it hap pens that the returns for the pres ent year exceed them. According to the Government estimate, re gently issued, there will be a corr crop of 2,2s9, ,90O, 900 bushels, anc there Is an increase in the other crops, so that their value for 190; has recently been estimated as fol
