A Great Year for the Farm rs.

Speaker Cannons description Of the
American farmer as 'just plumb pros
porous" is substantially confirmed by
the eighth annual report Of Secretary
Wilson OF the Department of Agricul-
ture. II was year vi record produc-
tion In nearly all lines, the total farm
products Of the country reaching the
colossal sum of almost five billions.
The only comparison which the joyful
Secretary can make is with the national
debt and what the farmers could do to
that with the value OF their crops, II
they got it all, staggers the imagina-
tion. The corn crop alone would pay
the entire national debt, a years interest
besides and have enough left to make a
good start toward improving the Ohio
river. The great American hen lays
enough eggs in month to pay years
interest on the public debt The farm
products for two years, says the Secre-
tary, equal the output of all the gold
mines Of all the world since Columbus
discovered America. They amount to
more than six times the capital stock OF
all the national banks and lack but a
miserly three-quarters of billion Of
the value Of all the manufactures, ex-
elusive OF raw material. They are
three times the gross earnings OF all
the railroads and four times the value
of all the materials. AS II this were
not enough, Mr.. Wilson points to the
banks in the farming States, showing
heaped-up deposits and evergrowing
lists OF depositors.
1t was certainly great year for the
farmer. II he fell down in supplying
