Bought s1ee,O ,OOO,OOO Worth of stufr from
 U. S. Last Year.

Washington, Nov. 25.-The United States sold Canada last year exports to the value of $l66,OOO,OOO. This amount constituted more than sixty per cent of the whole Canadian im- ports, but was only eleven per cent. of the foreign exports of the United States.

 Besides selling goods to, Canada, MT. Pepper says that 25,O00 settlers went from the United States to its northern neighbor from January to October, 1905, and that the value of their ef- fleets was $10,00O000. This number is less than for the two preceding years, The new wheat fields of the Dominion's S great northwest are the attraction to those seeking new homes in Canada, and it is to that section the report says that the United States should look to the development of existing, and the creation of, new markets

FARMERS ARE IN IT, TOO
WEALTH PRODUCTION REACHES
 OYER SIX BILLION

Secretary of Agriculture Wilson Re-
 ports for the, Last Year-Highest
 Amount Ever Attained in This or Any
 Other COuntry-Great Increase fin the
 Value of Farms - Reference to
 Breach of Trust Regarding Crop Re-
 port.
 Washington, Nov. 26.-"Wealth pro- duction on the farms of the United States in 1905 reached the highest amount ever attained in this city or any other country-$6, ,415,O0O,O00." This is one of the statements in the first annual report of his third term made by Secretary of Agriculture Will son. He presents an array of figures and statements representing the prod uts and profits of the farmers of the country which he admits dreams of wealth production could hardly equal"
 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 $613S, 100000 "Every sum- set during the past five years" inc says, "has registered an increase of $3,40O0O0 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 corpora tions.
 Tn dealing with the crop report Teak" Secretary Wilson after referring to the gross breach of trust on the part of one of the employees of the bureau of statistics" says:
 "This department acted with vigor and dispatch when it got evidence of wrong doing on the part of its own officials, but we have no evidence of disciplinary or preventive action at the traders end of the line, where gamblers interested neither in the pro- duction nor consumption disturb values to the injury of both, and make loud outcry when creatures of their own kind corrupt officials to betray conti~ dence efor the love of money. The re- sponsibllity for this leak is shared by every one who, to get money without work, gambles in farm products. When this form of industry ceases these par asites who tempt department officials will have to work for their bread"
