A man recently died leaving about

advocate law forbidding any insti-

giving his legal heirs a ratable lien

PAID FOR BONDS.
It Was Farm Products That Pulled
Trade Balance on Right Side.
Secretary Wilson Gives Some Impressive
Figures Showing the Magnitude OF the
Agriculture of the United
ff.R States.

Washington, Nov. 30.-The seventh
annual report of the present secretary
OF agriculture has been submitted to
the president. Secretary Wilson re-
views at length the production and ex-
ports of American agricultural pro-
ducts. The increase in the exports of
farm products for the half century
ended 1901 was from $147,00O,000 to
$685., 900 ,0O0-550 per cent. The exports
Of farm products for the closing decade
of the last century was over 100000
600, and for 1903 over sS7S, 100000, an
amount second only to that Of 1901.
Although the consumption Of cotton
in this country is greater than that
OF any other country in the world, yet,
in addition to supplying the home mar
ket, the south exported last year over
$500 100000 pounds Of cotton, worth
S317 100000.
OF grain and products, the export
exceeded in value 1921, 900 900, and in
the supply of animals. meats and meat
products. the value of expectation was
S211 100000.
Discussing the balance of trade, the
secretary shows that the favorable bal
ance to the credit of this country is
due entirely to the farmers. The bal
aAce of trade in favor of farm products
during the last IA years, no year ex-
cepted, aggregated Sl,S06,0 00,O 900. In
products other than those OF the farm,
during the same period. the balance
of trade was adverse to this country
to the extent of sS65, 10000 Our
farmers not only cancelled this i'm
mense obligation, but placed $780,
100000 to the credit of the nation when
the books of international exchange
were balanced. He concludes that 1T
is the farmers who have paid the for
eign bondholders."
Reviewing the magnitude of agricul-
tural production. after giving the fig
ures of the most important crops, Mr..
Wilson states that the value of all farm
products, not fed TO live stock, for
1903 considerably exceed their value
in the census year, when it was given
as $3,742. 100000.
According to the departments in
ventory of farm animals for January
/, 1903, the value of horses was over
81 100000 900, and of mules nearly
S20O,O00,OOO. The value of cattle of all
kinds considerably exceeded 81 300, 000,-
600, OF sheep $16S,OOO,O00, and Of hogs
$365, 100000. 4
Secretary Wilson reports a satisfac-
tory development Of the beet-sugar in
dustry. In 1896, 1920 tons of sugar
were made and year ago 100000 tons.
Careful estimates put the present crop
at about 100000 tons. The growing OF
seed in the United States of superior
quality is assured. He concludes that
the industry is now we'll established.
An increase of nearly 10000 is shown
in the number of places receiving fore
casts by telephone without expense to
the government, thus securing rapid
extension of weather information
among progressive agriculturists.
