MEASURE WEALTH BY BILLIONS
PRODUCTS OF FARMERS OF OUR
COUNTRY.
Not EquaIIed by Dreams" Says Sec
Rotary WfIsOn-COrn and Wheat
ExceIled-

Washington. Dec wealth pro
ductiOn on the farms Of the United
States in 1905 reached the highest
amount ever attained in this or any
other country-S6,4 AIS, 600, 900"
In the first annual report Of his
third term, Secretary OF Agriculture
Wilson presents an array OF figures
and statements representing the pro-
ducts and profits OF the farmers Of
the country
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 production was
high and that Of prices still higher.
Besides the enormous yield OF wealth,
the secretary estimates that the farms
Of the country have increased in value
during the past five years to a present
aggregate OF $5,133, OOO,O 600.
Every sunset during the past five
years" he says, has registered an in
crease Of S3,4OO,OOO in the value Of
the farms Of this country" This in
creased value, the secretary suggests,
is invested better than in the bank de-
posts, or even the gilt edged bonds
Of private corporations.
EAAAGLAN 1A5 u TIC @LOE0-
Analysing the principal crops for
the year, the secretary says that corn
reached its highest production with
2,TOS, 100000 bushels, a gain Of 49,
OOO,OO over the next lowest year,
1899; hay is second in order or value,
although cotton held second place
during the two preceding years. The
hay crop this year is valued at $685.
100000. Cotton comes third, with a
valuation OF 5,OOO,OOO; wheat,
1925, 100000; oats, 1882, 100000; pOta-
toes, S13S, 100000; barIey,$5S, 900, 900;
tobacco, $50, 900, 900; sugar, cane and
sugar beets, S5O,OOO,OOO; rice, 3d.
$4,000; dairy products, 1865, 600, GOO,
an increase on S54,OOO,OOO over last
year.
The farmers hen" the secretary
says, els becoming a worthy cOmpan-
ion to his COW. The annual produc-
ton Of eggs is now a score Of billions.
Poultry products have climbed 20 a
place Of more than a half billion dol
lars in value, so the farmers hen
completes with wheat for precedence %
There are more horses and with a
larger aggregate value than ever be-
fore, Notwithstanding, as the secretary
says, they were first threatened by
the bicycle and later by the suburban
trolley and the automobile He esti-
mates their value at $1,2OO,OOO or
nearly as much as the corn crop.
Although mich cows are increas-
ing in number and value, the report
states that other cattle and sheep have
for several years been decreasing.
There are 17,57O,OOO mich cows,
valued at S4S2,OOO,OOO. Other cattle
are numbered at 1860, 900, with a
value Of $622,OOO,OOO. Swine num-
bered 47,321,O valued at $3.50, 255,-
OOO- In the aggregate the value Of
farm animals has increased a few
million dollars within the year and
since the census Of 1900 has increased

WHAT WILL CONGRESS DO?

The Fifty-ninth congress Of this
great country opened for business
Monday The attendance at the open

introduced. If this can be interpret

a determination on the part of the
peoples representative tqOuit them
selves like men, statesmen and ser
wants Of the sovereign citizens at

Thomas n. Patterson OF Colorado
Punished fort COnfempt.

Denver, Dec. United States Sen
ator Thomas McDOugal Patterson,
proprietor OF the Rocky Mountain
News and the Denver Times, was fined
81, 900 today for alleged contempt OF
court, and ordered to stand commit
ted until the fine was paid Subse-
quently an appeal to the United States
supreme court brought about the sus-
pension Of the fine Just before the
penalty was announced Senator Pat
tersOn, when asked IL he had anything
to say, shook an accusing finger at
Chief Justice Gabbert and told the
court the article complained Of was
true There was a sensation at Pat
tersOn's stand and an angry flush
mounted Judge Gabbert's cheek when
he commanded the baliffs TO stop any
demonstration
When the Rush bill, merging the
city and county OF Denver, was de-
clared unconstitutional by the supre-
me court, that tribunal unseated all
democratic county officers, replacing
them with republican officials. At that
time Senator Patterson printed q car
tOon showing Chief Justice Gabbert
as the chief high executiOner, decap-
itating the county officers. Prior to
this time the Denver News had criti-
cised Judge Gabbert for his decision
in the Meyer case
