FARM WEALTH IN THE UNITED
STATES.

While most people will accept as q
general proposition the statement that
the farming industry lies at the founda-
ton of the prosperity of tho nation, many
readers really have very slight conccp-
ton OF the real extent of our agricultural
interests. Some very interesting and i'll
structive figures, which will furnish an
idea OF the comparative Importance Of
this industry, have just been compiled
by a committee of the produce exchange
In Boston. 1t appears from this author
ity that according to careful estimate
the value of the farm products for the
year 1901 aggregated me enormous sum
Of $500 ooo,oVo, after excluding the valuo
of farm crops fed to live stock.
In other words .he farms OF The rnitod
states during the past two Years have
produced wealth exceeding the output
OF all the gold mines IN the world since
Columbus discovered America. Tho

the amount OF the capital stock Of all
the national banks: is three times the
gross earnings of all the railroads; is
four times the value Of all tho mineral
products of the United States combined
It is worthy OF note in Thu; connection
also that the increase in farm capita
during the year is placed at the enormous

NO FUND FOR MAINTENANCE:

Under the present conditions there is no
pr".s whatever for maintaining the
good roads that arc built at State cx-
penSe. In towns whore the road sont-
inent is low these good roads are ne

towns last year the selectmcn wanted the
state work done on roads that arc built
ut State expense. In towns where the
road sentiment Is low these good roads
are neglected left to run down and get
