Farmers Are Prosperous

However much we may realize the
disadvantages under which the farm
ers of the country have to labor and
the obstacles in their road to pros
perity, we must admit that as a class
they are as prosperous as at any
time in the past, and in proportion to
the capital and skill employed as
prosperous as any other class of in
dustrial workers.
There are in round numbers about
5000, 600 farm families in the country
representing population of about
80, 600, 900 people, the largest number
of people engaged in any single in
dustry and representing the largest
capital of any industry. According to
the latest returns, the farmers of
the country in the aggregate pro-
duced about S., 900, 900, 900 Of wealth
this year. This is about 81, 900 apiece
on the average for every farmer.
The average income in the United
States is about $500 a year, placing
the farmer, without regard to cap
ital invested in his or other indust-

AMERICAN AGRICULTURE

Some of the Wonders of Our Great.
est National Industry
The cotton crop of single year is
worth nearly $40 for every family II
the United States.
The corn crop is even greater
The value of the corn raised in a
single year could pay the nationa
debt, with interest for one year, anc
leaveP enough to helplresident Roose
velt on governmental expenses sc
that there need be no deficit for foul
or five years.
The American hens lay enough
eggs in one month to pay the inter-
est on the national debt. The one
and two-thirds billion of eggs laid in
one year would reach 80, 600 miles, or
ten times across the continent, il
placed side by side in continuous line.
The automobile is all very well, but
horses and mules are still worth a
trihe of a billion and third of dollars.
That is an average of $65 worth Of
horsefesh for every family in the land.
The total products of the farm in
1904 are $4,000, 100000. That is
nearly equal to the total capital
stock of all American railroads before
the "boom" of 1900.
This sum is more than six times
the capital stock of all the national
banks. It is three times the gross
earnings of all the railroads. 1t is
nearly as great as the value of the
manufactures in 1900, less cost OF
raw material.
In two years the farmers have
produced wealth exceeding the out
put of all the gold mines of the world
since Columbus discovered America
In six years the deposits in all the
banks of three farming states have
increased as follows: Iowa, 164 per
cent; Kansas, 219 per cent; Miss
issippi, 3O1 per cent.
Even rice, which few families make
much use of, is grown to the extent
o, $50, 900 pounds. Macaroni wheat
is a novelty in this country, yet the
years crop of it would fill a bin 100
feet high and completely covering a
city s'long block. The increase
alone of farming capital in four years,
aside from the appreciation in the
value in the land, would build sixty
subways like that of New York city.

Socialist Daily For Chicago

Chicago Socialists are to have a
daily newspaper of their own, it is
said. They hope to begin publishing
it before the spring election. While
the daily newspaper will advocate
Socialism and the cooperative COM
monwealth, it will be run strictly on
a capitalistic plan. The company
will be Incorporated under the laws
of New Jersey, just like any ordinary
trust. One speaker who timidly
suggested that there was some in
consistency in starting paper on a
capitalistic plan and said he believed
it should be run on q cooperative
basis, was severely taken to task.

The Person -Gunderson wrestling
match Friday evening the 23rd inst.
was the best exhibition of the kind
ever witnessed in this county and
local "sports" who have witnessed
similar exhibitions elsewhere say it
was one of the best they have ever
seen. There was quite good crowd
present, including quite number of
ladies and the "main event" was
preceded by two local contests in
which much interest was manifested.
The first was wrestling match be
tween Johnny Sweeney and Arthur
Mckay. Sweeney has had more
practice in wrestling than Mckay
and most of his friends and acquaint-
ances shared his own evident belief
that he would be an easy winner.
He was mot in it," however, with
Mckay, who threw him the first
round in one minute and three quart
ers and the second time in seven
seconds.
The next preliminary was boxing
contest between DR.. Garratt, of Bell
ingham, and 1. d. Nordyke, of Friday
Harbor, which was also something of
a surprise. The doctor is much the
larger man and has quite a repu-
tation among his friends as an anna
teur athlete. Nordyke showed him
self to be astonishingly quick on his
feet and expert with the gloves. The
two men jumped about the mat dur
ing four rounds in the liveliest man.
ner and each got in few good punch
es in exposed places on the others
anatomy in the most good natured
way. 1t had been agreed that if
both were on their feet at the end of
the fourth round the contest should
be considered draw, and it was so
declared.
1t was little past o'clock when
Gunderson and Person stepped on
the mat and shook hands and began
the hardest contest that either of
them has ever had. DR.. Garratt had
been advertised as the referee but as
he had privately expressed his opin-
ion that Person would win the match
Gunderson objected to his serving
and with Persons consent Will Sar-
lund, of Bellingham, personal friend
of Gunderson, was named as referee.
It was evident at the outset that the
match was going to be a close one
and that it would test the skill and
endurance of both men TO the ut
most. Gunderson is number of
years younger than Person and has
considerable advantage of him in
height and weight, while Person has
the advantage of longer experience
as wrestler, cooler head and more
even temper. The only evidence of
anger that he manifested during all
the long contest was when the referee
made an unfair decision against him
in the second round. Gunderson, on
the contrary, manifested consider
able temper and made number OF
rushes at Person that had much of
the appearance of vindictiveness.
The young man is splendidly proper
toned and has great strength. He
won the first fall after hard contest
of forty minutes. The second round
lasted fifty minutes and was won by
Person. During this round Gunder-
son was thrown from the stage and
received quite bruise in the back,
though nothing serious. The third
round was won by Person in seven
teen minutes, he having been fortun-
ate enough to secure hammer
lock" hold which Gunderson was
powerless to shake.

ries, well at the head of the list in
the income account.
The great problem for the Ameri-
can farmer in the future is not how
to produce larger crops but how to
produce crops cheaper. While there
are immense areas of fertile land
still unproductive and vast areas of
arid lands that need only irrigation
to bring into profitable cultivation,
the successful farmer of the future
will be the one who lessons the cost
OF production rather than the one
who extends his operations.
