Washington, May 24.-The depart
ment Of agriculture has issued report
on "The, Nations Farm Surplus" pre-
pared by George X. Holmes, chief OF
the division of foreign markets 1t
gives $4,5OO,OoO,OOO as a conservative
estimate Of the value of farm products
Of this country not fed to live stock in
1908, on the basis Of the census valua-
ton.
The value Of the exported farm prod
ucts was, in 1908, $s7S,470,451, and the
highest value received during the last
eleven years was S95l, 0sS.33l, in 1901
due chiefly to cotton. The value OF
the exported farm products OF this
country is concentrated mostly in a
few principal products OF it in 1908
cotton constituted So per cent; grain
and grain products, 95 per cent; meat
and meat products and live animals,
"a per cent; these products equaling
over IS per cent Of the exports OF farm
products last year. Adding tobacco,
whose exports were valued at over
S35, oOO,OOO; oil cake and oil cake meal,
$40, $780, 70, fruits and nuts over $751;
100000, and vegetable oils over $751;
100000 gives a total Of eight classes of
products, each with an export value of
over $lO,OOO,OoO, that comprise almost
96 per cent of the entire farm products
of 1902.
Within recent years, ending with
1908, the cotton exports have been be-
tween 5000, 100000 and 4,OOO,OOO,OOO
pounds, and the exported fraction of
the crop has been between So and u
per cent for a long series of years, The
fraction of the wheat crop exported IN
the last dozen years has been about 81
to Al per cent, and the exported wheat
and wheat -four have yearly averaged
somewhst more than 100000 900 bush
els since 1897, before which period for
many years the quantity was usually
5O,0OO,OOO to lOO,OOO,00O bushels less
Only small portion of the corn crop
is exported as corn, the highest per-
centage, II per cent, being for 1885,
Notwithstanding the small percentage,
the exported bushels reach 1OO,OOo,OOC
to 2OO,OOO,OOO, The beef exports

olco oil exports 10000, 900 pounds, and
tobacco 6S,0OO,OO0. Butter and cheese

The object Of the Grand Army in Its
relation to civil life, and aside from Its
traditional association and charitable
work, was to organize the victory
which had been won on the field OF
battle. The post rooms become schools
Of loyalty, where reverence for the flag
as the symbol Of the nation has been
persistently inculcated and where the
national idea has been constantly ex-
allied. Then came the work in the
schools of which mention has been
made and whereof all the land knows
1t is not too much to say that owing
to the far.reachlng influence Of the
Grand Army Of the Republic more
than to anything else the flag is now
universally revered, and there is no
longer any question in the land, either
in the North or South, that the Amer
lean people now constitute a nation,
Day after day, as the glory of their
achievements in all the arts Of peace
is finding new acknowledgment n ev'
cry quarter of the globe, there comes
new evidence that they are unit
the world encompassing power Of the
future-great, glorious, invincible'
But what of the men who won this
priceless heritage in the most stupen'
dous struggle Of the modern age!
They are passing, passing, swiftly
passing. More than ever now each
annual encampment brings home the
tragedy of death in life. More than
ever now each annual encampment
emphasizes the grim, solemn fact that
soon-all too soon-the Grand Army
Of the Republic, with all that it SYM
bolizes, will be nothing but a tradi-
ton. Figures that 40 mol lie give
much food for thought-sad, intros'

Of the United States our solemn con
gratulations that God has sustained
his life and health under the unpar'
alleled burdens and sufferings for four
bloody years, and permitted him to
behold this suspicious contamination
of that national unity for which he has
waited with so much patience and for
titude, and for which he has labored
with such disinterested wisdom. TO
the members Of the government asso-
ciated with him in the administration
of perilous affairs in critical times; to
the senators and representatives of
the United States, who have eagerly
fashioned the instruments by which
the popular will might express and en-
force itself, we tender our grateful
thanks.
To the officers and men Of the army
and navy who have so faithfully and
so skillfully and gloriously upheld
their country's authority, by suffering,
labor and sublime courage, we offer a
heart tribute beyond the compass Of
words.
Upon those true and faithful citi.
zens, men and women, who have
borne up with unalnching hope in the
darkest hour, and covered the land
with their labor Of love and charity,
we invoke the divinest blessing Of him
whom they have so truly initiated.
But chiefly to thee, God Of our fathers,
we render thanksgiving and praise for
that wondrops providence that has
brought forth from such a harvest of
war the seed Of 50 much liberty and
peacel
We invoke peace upon the North!
Peace be to the West! Peace be up
on the South!
In the name Of God we lift up our
banner and dedicate 1t to peace, I'M
