While there was no meeting of the
house committee the senate commit

Banker Clews Is throwing boquets
TO the farmer now. In his annual re-
view Mr. Clews says the most striking
fact in the situation has been the far
mers remarkable prosperity. He is
pre-eminently the principal factor in
the national business activity of to-
day. The country has been favored by
series of successful harvests, but
that of 1905 surpassed all. Secretary
Wilson of the department Of agricul-
ture, estimated the wealth produced on
American farms this year at SG,415.-
100000. which is $256,O00,000 greater
than in 1904 and s49S,O0O,0OO in ex-
cess of 1903. Com reached the high
est production and value on record.
The cotton crop. though short, is un-
usually profitable, and our wheat crop
surpasses the record in value. In 9th.
er respects the ear has been a profit
able one to our agricultural classes,
and Secretary Wilson estimates that
as a result of five years continuous
good crops, and also to more intelli-
gent methods of agriculture, the value
of farms has increased 1875 per cent.
an amount approximately equal to
$G133, 100000.
