WARRINGTON. Nov. 26.-Secretary of
Agriculture Wilson has sent his annual re-
port to the president. In Its opening pages
the secretary sets forth at length the rea-
sons the American farmer has for thanks
giving. He says:
Another year OF unsurpassed prosperity
to the farmers Of this country has been
added to the most remarkable series of
similar years that has come to the farmers
of any country In the annals of the world s

the farmer lends his strong shoulder to the
support of the manufactures OF the coun-
try by furnishing raw materials Computa-
lions based upon census information dis
close the fact that farm products, TO some
extent obtained from other countries, con-
sttute 56.4 per cent Of the total products,
and SOS per cent OF the total materials. and

influence on Banking.
The farmer has also become a banker,
says the secretary, and he proceeds to
demonstrate his position by giving figures
on the growth of national banks in the
strictly agricultural sections of the country
On the matter of deposits the report says:
In the north central states farmers have
been depositing money in the banks until
the rate of interest on deposits has fallen
so low that they have diverted a large por-
ton of their savings to permanent Invest
ments In spite Of the fact that the banks
do not receive and keep all or most of the
farmers savings, the increase of bank de-
posits in agricultural states and larger re-
gions is most extraordinary. The following
are some examples of the increase of the
deposits in all banks in the agricultural
states during the year ending June 80, 1906:
In Iowa and South Dakota the increase
was 1913 per cent; in Nebraska, 1875; in
Kansas, 81; in North Dakota, o. During
the same time bank deposits in the great
capital state of Massachusetts increased
81 per cent.
II a comparison is made with 1896, within
the latest prolonged financial depression,
the comparisons are still more striking.
During the ten years from that year to
June 30, 1905, the bank deposits of the
United States, all banks included, increased
1892 per cent. In comparison with this is
the increase Of the South Atlantic states,

transcends the census figures for 1899
by 80 per cent, and this after a lapse
of only six years.
II there is no relapse from this high
position that the farmer now holds as
a wealth producer, three years hence
he may look back over the preceding
decade, and, il he will add the annual
figures of his wealth production, he
will find that the farming element, or
about 35 per cent of the population,
has produced an amount of wealth
within these ten years equal to one-
half of the entire national wealth pro-
duced by toll and composed of the
surpluses and savings of three CEN
turtles.
Balance of Trade.
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1905
the exports OF domestic farm products were
valued at $s27OOO,OOO, a loss of kS2,OOOOO0 as
compared with 1904 and s51, 100000 behind
the fve-year average; although it was $780,
100000 above the average of the 1--WE years
from 1895 to 1899 and 1857, OOO, 900 above the
1S9O-1S94 average. Here the secretary says:
During the last sixteen years the
domestic exports of farm products
have amounted to $4,000, 600, 900, or
81 900, 100000 more than enough to
buy all the railroads of the country at
their commercial valuation. and this
with mere surplus for which there
was no demand at home"
Imports of agricultural products, which
were mostly noncompetitive, for the fiscal
year ended June 30 1905, were 1854, 1000, or
$125, 100000 more than the annual average
for the preceding FIVE years The net bal
ance in favor of the farmer for the year
is $685. 100000 During the sixteen years
past the farmer has secured a balance of
$5.6S5, 100000 to himself in his international
bookkeeping, and out of this he has Offset
an adverse balance of $543, 100000 in the
foreign trade in products other than agri-
cultural, and turned over to the nation
from his account with other nations the
sum of IS, 092, 100000
support to other Industries.
How the farmer figures in other lines of
industry is set out in the report in the fol-
lowing language:

1874 per cent; Of the western or Rocky
mountain and Pacific states, 1898 per cent;
of the north central states, 1856 per cent,
and still more striking is the percentage OF
the south central states, &5.T per cent;
while during the same time the deposits in
the North Atlantic states Increased only
1923 per cent.
For Individual states there are such in
creases during the ten years 1909 per
cent for Iowa. 2s9.s per cent for Kansas. 294
per cent for North Dakota and 1851 Der
cent for South Dakota.
The foregoing remarkable increases In
bank deposits in agricultural states, as
well as the increase in the number of small
country banks. are directly and indirectly
because of the profits that have come to
the farmers from the operation of their
farms. The man with the hoe has become
the man with the harvester and the de-
positor and shareholder OF the bank.
Increase In Land Values.
The change in farm values since
the census of 1900 is summed up In
the following terms, detailed figures
being given:
With this understanding IL is found
the cotton farms have increased in
value $500, 100000, the most promi-
nent increase among the states being
Texas, with $115,OOO,O 900, while
Georgia stands second with $77, OOO,-
900 and Mississippi third with $62,-
600, 900. Therefore, it may be said
that during the last five years the cot
ton plantations have had six crops of
cotton, one of these crops being a per-
manent investment and promising to
pay a good return year by year.
Sugar farms have increased i'm value
$50, 900, 900, more than half of which
is found in Louisiana and One-siXth in
California.
Hay and grain farms have such an
immense acreage that the increase for
them amounts to $4,000, ZOO, 900,
three-fourths of which is in the north
central states, and an even greater
gain, or $2,263, 900, 900, was made by
the live stock farms, nearly three
fOurths of this also being i'm the north
central states. In the case of farms
having dairying as a speciality the in
creased value was $500, 100000 to-
baccO farms increased $57, 900, 900;
rice farms, $3,3OO,OOO fruit, $07,-
100000; vegetable farms, $113,OOO,-

Economic Position of Farmers.
II the farmers economic position in the
United states is to be condensed to a shotI
paragraph. IL may be said that their farms
produced this year wealth valued at S. 4i5,-
100000; that farm products are yearly ex-
ported with port value OF $S160O0O00; that
farmers have reversed In adverse interna-
tional balance of trade, and have been

cultural. amounting to S54S0 600, 900. has been
Offset. The manufacturing industries thatN
depend upon farm products for raw ma
terials employed 2,154OOO persons in 1900 and
used a capital of A132, 10000. Within a
decade farmers have become prominent as
bankers and as money lenders throughout
large areas; and during the last 1--WE years

rected efforts of the farmers themselves

equal to $613S, 100000.

While 1t may be observed that only one

The general level of production was high
