Washington, May 25.-The depart
ment of agriculture Las issued report
on the "Nation's Farm Surplus" pre-
pared by George K. Holmes, chief OF
the division of foreign markets. 1t
gives 81 SOC, ,0OO, 900 as a conservative
estimate of the value of the farm pro-
ducts of this country not fed to live
stock. in 1908, on the basis of the CEN
sus valuation. The value of the ex-
ported farm products of this country
was, in 1908, $s7s, AIS, 9,451, and the
highest value reached during the last
IL years was $951 1928 331 in 1901, due
chiefly to cotton.
The value of the exported farm pro-
ducts of this country is concentrated
mostly in few principal products. OF
it in 1908, cotton constituted 36 per
cent, grain and grain products 25 per
cent, meat and meat products and live
animals 24 per cent, these products
equating over 85 per cent of the exports
of farm products last year.
Adding tobacco, whose exports were
valued at over $35, 900 900; oil cake
and oil cake meal, $40, 1885, ,279; fruits
and nuts over SIS, 200 900, and vege-
table oils, over $16.OO0,0 900 gives a
total of eight classes of products, each
with an export value of over $4,000,
900, that comprise almost 96 per cent
of the farm exports of 1908.
! The fraction of the wheat crop ex-
ported in the last dozen years has been
. about 81 to Al per cent, and the ex-
ported wheat and wheat -four have
yearly averaged somewhat more than
200, 900, 900 bushels since 1897.
Only small portion of the corn crop
is exported as corn, the highest per-
centage, II per cent, being for 1898.
Notwithstanding tue small percentage,
the exported bushels reach 100, ,000,-
600 to 200, 100000.
The beef exports weighed 385. .000,-
900, pork exports 551, ,OO0, 900, lard
exports weighed 400, 100000 oleo oil
exports 1875, 900, 900 pounds and tobac.
co 36S, 600, 900. Putter and cheese ex.
ports have decidedly declined within
two or three years.
The report says that within few
years the results of an enormous exten-
sion of orchard planting will Deign to
be shown, and some of these results
may be in much increased fruit sur
plus for export. The exports of ami
nal matter are losing ground relatively
with corresponding gain by vegetable
matter.
