GREAT WEALTH
OF THE FARMER
History of the World Shows
Nothing Like Progress
of This Country.
Report of the Secretary OF Agrlcul-
ture Shows That "The Man With
the Hoe" in the United States
Produces Billions of Dollars"
Yearly.

Washington. d. C.-The wealth pro-
iuction on the farms of the United
States in 1905 reached the highest
amount ever attained in this or any
other country-$6, 415,0O0,000.
In the first annual report of his
third term Secretary Of Agriculture
Wilson presents an array OF figures
and statement representing the pro-
ducts and profits Of the farmers OF
the country which he admits dreams
Of wealth production could hardly
equal"
Four crops make new high records
as to value-corn, hay, wheat and
rice, although in amount OF produc-
ton the corn crop is the only one
that exceeds previous yields. In
every crop the general level OF pro-
duction was high, and that Of prices
still higher.
Besides the enormous yield OF
wealth the secretary estimates that
the farms of the country have in
creased in value during the past fve
years to present aggregate OF So
l3S,Oo0,OOO.
Every sunset during the past five
years." he says, has registered an
increase of $3,400,0O0 in the value of
the farms of this country"
This increased value, the secretary
suggests, is invested better than IN
bank deposits or even in the gilt
edged bonds of private corporations.
Analysing the principal crops for
the year, the secretary says that corn
reached its highest production at
2,708, 600, 900 bushels, a gain of 42,OOO,-
900 over the lowest year, 1899; hay IS
second in order of value, although cot
ton held second place during the two
preceding years. The hay crop this
year is valued at $605, 100000. Cotton
comes third, with a valuation OF $685.
600 900; wheat, $525, 100000; oats,
1882, 100000; potatoes, $13S,OOO,oOo;
barley, $58,000,0O0; tobacco, $4,000
900; sugar cane and sugar beets, $50
O0O,OOO; rice, $13,S92,000; dairy pro-
ducts, $665,00O,O0O, an increase Of
$54 100000 over last year.
Although milk cows are increasing
in number and value. the report
states that other cattle and sheep
have for several years been decreas-
ing. There are 17,570,000 milk cows,
valued at $4S2,OOOOOO. Other cattle
are numbered at 43,669,000, with a
value of $462,OOO,OOO. Swine number
1881 900, valued at $2S3,255. 1000. In
the aggregate the value of farm an
lmals has increased few million dol
lars within the year, and since the
census of 1900 have increased 9 per
cent

RUSSIANS ARE inclined
TO Be OPTIMISTIC
Zemstvo Leaders Express Hopeful
Views Upon Situation In Russia,
Expecting Much Of Count Witte.

st. Petersburg.-The interesting
views of number of leaders Of the
zemstvo congress regarding the pres
ent situation, are generally optimistic
in tone as to the future of Russia, pro.
vided Count Witte follows the policy
outlined in the resolutions of the con-
gress. Some of them contain sugges'
lions for the formation of coalition
ministry.
Prince Paul Dolgoroukoff, whose
palace at Moscow was the meeting
place of this and the previous zem'
stvo congresses, is one of the most
eminent liberals in Russia. He tele.
graphed:
IF WHITE Is sincere he will adopt
our programme, and if he does not
haggle over the bargain his position
will be greatly strengthened. He will
receive support throughout the coun-
try and will scatter the agrarian ana
labor disorders and rowdyism,l and
perhaps worse, which have been in
evitable for some time, owing to the
belateness of the reforms, wrested by
the low and not voluntarily given
from above. But in spite of revolution,
with it's terrors of bloodshed and the
accompanying economic and financial
crisis, we are passing through an
emancipation epoch from which Rus
STA will emerge strengthened and re-
generated.
1.-THE zemstvo workers, tempered in
the long struggle against arbitrary
power, must exercise steadying in
f1uence, both against reaction and IL
cense."
Alexander Stakovich of Orel, an
other of Russia's coming men, takes
even more optimistic view.

Warning Against Foreigners.

Constantinople.-Th trial has be-
gun of Belgian subject and fifteen
Armenians on the charge Of COM
plicity in the attempt on the life of

other Armenians are being tried ST.
multaneously for the recent discovery
of bombs and explosives. The pub.
licity given to the trials and refer.
ence made in court to alleged foreign
support received by the revolutionary
Armenians lent color to the report
that the authorities are trying to stir
up public opinion against foreigners.

There was regular meeting " the
School Board on Tuesday with Mcssrs
Stanley and Blandford present. The fol-
lowing orders were passed:
Delegations appeared before the School
Board in reference to the appointment OF
trustees for the Riverdale school and af
ter hearing both sides the Commissioners
passed the following order:
Ordered, That the School Board. in
view of the contentious in Riverdale,
decline at this time to appoint trustees and
will take charge of the Riverdale school
through the County Superintendent until
such time as the Board feels it can, in the
appointment of trustees, act in the best
interests of the school.
Ordered, That the sum Of $500 be ap
propriated out of the Manual Training
Fund to furnish facilities for manual
training at the Laurel High School upon
condition that the new arrangements con
templated be made satisfactory to the
High School teachers and the Advisory
Board.
Ordered, That the Board does not
think the Manual. Training which is a pail
of the High School, should be turned out
of its own building to make room for
School No. 1, believing the true solution
would be to remove at least two classes
of the primary school to its own building;
as it would be asking TOO much to require
high school children to go from one build
ing to another for different Rotations,
and as the teachers of the High School al
oppose the proposition.
