VAsINCHES INTHIS YEARS CROPS
Farmers GeI More Dollars For All They Have SELL and lheTeore AT
in Better Condition Than Any Other Class Of Consumers

early summer that the long, cold
spring would bring disaster to the
crops, it is now assured that nature
..once more will bless this country
with abundant harvests. 1t Is true
that the phenomenal yield of corn and
wheat last year may not be quite
>euualled, but it is also true that the
output will exceed the average OF re-
cent years, and at the same time the
|: increase in the value OF farm products
lis likely to far more than onset the
decline in the aggregate yield.
There may be decrease in wheat
of possibly 75,000,000 bushels, but
with the price more than twenty cents
q bushel above the corresponding
time last year there ought to be a
net increase of 75,000,000 to $780,
100000 in the value Of the wheat
crop over that of 1906. With an in
crease In the price of corn and cotton,
the falling off in these crops likewise
doubtless will be Offset by their hfgn-
CIR values. Thus the farmers Of the
country are once more blessed with
vast income-an income SO great as
compared with five or six years ago
that it is difficult to comprehend the
magnitude of the gain. The value of
farm products in different years has
been as follows:

1907 (estimate1 ............. 1,UuO,U5o,0Ju
The increase in the last seven years
of $685. 100000 is gain Of nearly
fifty per cent in that time. This
gain in seven years is almost equal
to the total value of the farm pro-
ducts of the country in 1890. IN the
latter year the per capita production
of all engaged in agriculture was
S287, almost exactly the same as In
1880, while at the present time the
per capita OF all engaged in agricul-
ture is about $500.
The prosperity Of the farmers is
seen not only in the paying off Of
hundreds OF millions Of farm mort
cages and in the building Of better
homes, but also in the heavy deposits
| In the country banks throughout the
West and South. Every banker In all
the agricultural regions of helcoun-
TRY has been impressed during the
last few years with the great increase
In the deposits of farmers, and In
many portions of the South large
proportion of the deposits in country
| banks is made up of surplus accumu-
illations Of the agricultural classes.
With such fundamentally sound con-
Editions it is scarcely possible for the
| country again to sink into the depths
of panicky times such as we have had
in the past. :.
So far as the South is concerned, it
| Is quite safe to count that this section
| will receive for its cotton and cotton
seed an aggregate of sS0o,ooe,Ooo.
