ANALYSIS OF THE CROPS.

T Analysing the principal crops
for the year, the secretary says
that corn reached its highest pro-
duction with 100000, bush
els, a gain of 42,O0O.OOO over the
next lowest year, 1899; hay is
second in order of 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 S576, 100000; wheat
S525, 900, 900; oats, S2S2,OOO,OOO
potatoes S13S, 900, 900; barley, S5S,-
100000; tobacco, S62,OOO,OOO;
sugar cane and sugar beets, $50
.OOO' 900; rice, S13, 1872, 900; dairy
products, $685., 600, 900, an increase
of S54, 900, 900 over last year.
The farmers hen." the secre-
tary says, is becoming a worthy
companion to his COW. The an
nual. production of eggs is now a
score of billions. Poultry products
have climbed to a place of more
than a half billion dollars in value,
so the farmers hen completes with
wheat for precedence"
There are more horses and with
a larger aggregate value, than
ever before, Notwithstanding, as
she secretary says, they were first
threatened by the bicycle and later
by the suburban trolley and the
automobile. He estimates their
value at $1,000, 100000 or nearly
as much as the corn crop.

GOOD DOCTRINE.
Literature Being Sent Ont That Boosts
Great Bend the Right Way.

Great Bend people are asked to
stand by the town to boost for
Home Industries, to push all along
the line for the bringing of new
industries, new businesses, new
people to this city. If we all
push together, each give the other
a chance to make all the profit we
can then we will each have a little
nest egg to invest in Great Bend.
When you are going to pay out
money that has profit attached to
it you should prefer to pay it to a
Great Bend man to paying it to a
Kansas City, Wichita or Chicago
man. Wichita Kansas City and
Chicago men spend their money
at home they are not looking for
chance to help Great Bend.
A general movement to stand by
home industries would be a good
thing for the city. Some of the
Great Bend firms are sending out
a little folder showing the things
that Great Bend possesses and sug-
costing that it would be a good
thing for the man who receives it
to line up for Great Bend. 1t
contains the following, which is
good reading:
When Kansas people purchase
merchandise from Missouri, that
can be purchased in Kansas, they
are paying Missouri a tax they
owe to Kansas.
If Kansas people do not patron
ize home merchants and home mer-
chants do not patronize home job
bers and Kansas jobbers do not use
Kansas finished products, so far
as possible (evreything being
equaD they are not giving Home
or Kansas a square DEAL"

FARMS As WEALTH :.
g , PRODUCERS.
Statistics From the Report Of the
Secretary Of Agriculture.
FOUNDATION OF PROSPERITY.

Washington, Dec. o. Wealth
production on the. farms of the
o United States in 1905 reached the
highest amount ever attained in
this or any other country-e$6,
10000
In the first annual report of his
third term, Secretary of Agricul-
ture Wilson presents an array of
figures and statements represent
ing the products and profits of the
farmers of the country.
-Four crops make new high rec
ords as TO value-corn, hay, wheat
and rice, although in amount of
production 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 estill higher. Be-
sides 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 Sc, 1885,
100000. .
Every sunset during the past
five years., y he says, ''has regis
tered an increase of $3,4OO, 900 in
the value of the farms of this coun-
try" This increased value, the
secretary suggests, is invested
better than in bank deposits, or
even in the gilt-edged bonds of
sprivate corporations.
THE CROP REPORT "LEAK."
In dealing with the crop. report
leak" Secretary Wilson, after re-
fering to the gross breach of trust
on the part of one of the employees
of the bureau of statistics, says:
This department acted whit vigor
and dispatch when it got evidence
of wrong doing on the part of its
own officials, but we have no evil
dence of disciplinary or preventive
action at the traders end of the

the aggregate the value of farm
animals has increased a few mil
lion dollars within the year and
since the census of 1900 has in.
creased nine per cent.
WHAT THE SURPLUS SHOWS.
With this enormous production,
the secretary says, the wants of 50
million people have been supplied,
with a remaining surplus cOnsti-
tuting generous contribution to
other nations. The exported farm
products during the fiscal year end
ing June 80, 1905, had a value OF
81, S27, 100000, which was less by
S5l. 600, 900 than the average ex-
ports for the five preceding years.
In accounting for this the secretary
says: Owing to the short wheat
crop, there was a decreased export
of that cereal amounting to S4l,-
600, 900; of 100000 in the ex-
ports of packing house products,
and another S5,000,000 in fruits
and other minor items. The in
crease included So, 350,000 in cot
ton; 81, 700, 900 in oil cake and oil
cake meal; S4, 0O0,0 in vegetable
oils, and 100000 in rice and
various minor products. During
the last sixteen years ?" the Secre-
tary says, the domestic exports
of farm products have amounted
to S12,0OO,OOO, 900 or 81, 600, OOO,-
600 more than enough to buy all
the railroads of this country at
their commercial value, and this
with mere surplus for which
there was no demand at home"
THE FARMER AS A BANKER.
Secretary Wilson points out that
the farmer is taking an important
part in developing the manufac-
turing interests of the country by
furnishing raw material, and that
he has also become a banker. The
farm contributions to manufac-
turers during the year were g, $40
100000. Under the recent amend
ment to the national banking act
allowing the establishment of
banks with a capitalization of less.
than $4,000, there have been |, 754
such banks established in the last
year, nearly every one of which is
.Ocated in a rural community and
5he capital furnished by farmers.
Speaking of the increase in de-
pOsits in banks by farmers, the
'ecretar ESTATES: In the north
central states farmers have been
lepOsiting money in the banks un-
i'll the rate of interest on deposits
las fallen so low that they have
diverted a large portion of their
savings to permanent investments.
In spite of the fact that banks do
lot receive and keep all or most of
he farmers savings, the increase
If bank deposits in agricultural
districts is most extraordinary.
Still more remarkable is the
