PRO- fY OF The FARMER

THAT farmers have shared in the
National prosperity of the past
decade is evident from the facts
gathered by the department of
agriculture from 45, 900 oorrespon
dents and lately published. These
show that the increase in the value
of farm lands in the last five years,
taking the country over, has been
something over 80 per cent.
But these figures are far from
telling the whole story.
A notable advance has taken
place in the economic condition of
the farmer since the days of the
populist movement. Not only have
his lands increased in value. but
the prices of his products have
been better, his income has been
enlarged and the methods of
agriculture SO improved as to
bring larger returns from given
outlay.
A notable example of this is
found in the South, where a series
of profitable crops has led to the
abolition of the crop-lien system
by which the farmer was per-
petually in debt. He is now able
to furnish his own capital out of
his bettered income.
There is no reason to anticipate
any immediate change for the
worse in these happy conditions.
Mr.. Holmes, who compiled the
facts for the department, remarks
that "farmers now occupy a strong
economic position, founded upon
the tendency of the consumption
of some important products to in
crease faster than population does,
and upon the tendency of the de-
sires for these products to increase
faster than production does"
With respect to these products
consumption is close upon the
heels Of production. Among such
products Mr.. Holmes mentions
poultry, fruit, butter, meat and
animals.
