Some Comparisons

The farm value of one year and seven months of similar production would duplicate every mile of steam railroad in this country and pay for all the Eroperty owned and operated by these railroads from the rustiest spike in the rottenest tie on the shortest 1erkwa ter line to the titans of terminals.
 Maybe you've wondered bit at Uncle Sam's courage for daring the deep with so valuable lot of fighting ships as that now steaming to the Pacific---one of the largest fleets ever assembled for an active cruise. It will likely cause you to take several hitches in your wonder to know that with the wealth produced this year by Uncle Hiram the farmer. we could build and equip forty-six fleets exactly like this. and still have enough left to coal 'em for just such a cruise
 Seven billion, four hundred and twelve millions is going some, when you get to thinking about 1t.
 'Tis more than eight times the public debt of this nation nearly one-fourth of the worlds combined national debt; billion more than the whole wealth of Belgium. the eighth richest country on earth; two and a half times the total of all money in circulation in our land today, and 50 times the receipts of our biggest governmental business, the postoffice department, for the year 1906.

Good Weather-S5O, ,0OO a Day

You can harken back to some time ago when some man, of the pen, sald Good weather is worth just now $50000, 900 day This seemed then, enthusiastic hyperbole: but 1t was wise. Maybe you can picture this genius feelings when he sees in Farmer Wilson's reports these words:
 Every necessary day for the develop ment of the corn crop was worth 20, 900 .000 bushels. Cotton needed longer time and offered to pay 30.000,00 pounds of lint for the favor of each day of growth during the full term Wheat offered over 5000. GOO bushels day, tobacco 100000 pounds, po- tatoes 3000,O00 bushels, and beets 6.000, ,0o0 pounds of sugar.
 "The entire wealth production of the farms was at stake and was dependent on and every one of it's days was worth $50,- 900. 900 to the farmer and to the nation
 Think of it, Good weather worth g, ,0S3, ,- 333. 33 an hour,

Other Comparisons

Hens and their offspring and eggs have been worth in the past year more than six hundred millions! Nearly as much as the wheat crop. Both the chick ems and the cattle combined sold and slaughtered from the barns and farms in 1907 brought s1,27O, ,0Oo.000. A great deal more than the assessed valuation of all the real and personal property in the great state of Texas.
 And more than sixty times the valua- ton of all Birmingham properties if they double and treble the taxation two or three more times. and base the raise each time on actual valuation. "All's Well." These words. comforting, assuring, strengthening-never rang more clearly. truly than today.
 And the strength and belief and hope and aim of this institution Is individually and all that, with our country's welfare, as with our own, 1t may be always as to- day

 It at once distances the widest flights of fiction with an array of facts so astoundingly optimistic that Wall street and it's kin will gasp for re- storatives when they read 'em.
 He shows that while our 1907 yield of farm products has been exceeded in quantity in previous years, it's total value reaches the unprecedented and fabulous sum of $7,4120 900. .000.
 This Is s657 100000 above the value for 1906, s1103 100000 above that for 1905, s1,253, ,000,0 900 above 1904, $1.495,- 900 ,000 above 1903. and $2.695. 900 900 above 1899.
 In other words, 1t Is a total 10 per cent greater than that of 1906. 1T per cent over 1905. 20 per cent over 1904, 25 per cent over 1903, and 57 per cent over 1899.
 In still other words, put so you can catch some glimmer of It's monster meaning, this sum Is nearly nine times the capital of all national banks in the United States and Is times their sur plus 10 times the capital of all other banks loan and trust companies in the country; twice the total of all deposits in the savings banks of the nation. and thirds that of all deposits in those of the world, including our own.
