Fifty Million a Day for the Farmer

Last spring the farmer was in trou-
BILE almost in despair. Cold weather
continued so long that planting was de-
iayed until it almost seemed as though
crop failures in many lines must result.
Under such circumstances only the pro-
= longation of warm weather in the fall
permitted the splendid crops of this
year and made the farmers Thanks
giving the most cheerful one in the
country.
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson has
saken the trouble to estimate what each
day of good weather was worth to the
farmers of the land this year In his
annual report he calculates the mum
Dor Of bushels of corn and wheat
and potatoes and pounds of cotton, to-
bacco and sugar to be assigned to each
6ne day. Turning it all into cash, it
means $50, 600. 900 day.
In 1907 every crop except hops, says

gTesent indications, considerably ex.
Good in value the average for the past
ave years. In some cases the gain is
very heavy. Corn, oats. barley, rye,
hay. potatoes, rice and cotton seed show
tho most striking gains, while for
wheat, cotton lint and buckwheat the
rate Of gain would be notable in any
ordinary year. The oat crop was light
in volume. 10 per cent below the five
year average. but even for it values
were 80 high as to put it 20 per cent
above the average in the dollars it will
sall for.
The grand total of value of farm pro-
auce for the year is $7,4t2, 600, OOO
Tho nine last years have been all fat
yaars for the farmer, with grand total
Of $50, 600. 900, 600 of products, but 1907

~ basis and ranking the value of its
farm produce at 100. 1903 gave a value
Of 125, 1904 Of 131. 1905 of 1874, 1906 of
if5. and now 1907 gives value Of 157.

The Dead Leaves.

BY BYRON S. FosKET
The wind was blowing gale one day.
And the maple leaves lay so STILL
TIL the wind arose, when up and away
They went at the winds sweet Will.
They bounded and danced and fitted aroun
BY window and lattice and door;
When tho wind had ceased they lay on the
ground
AS still as they were before.
All snuglv piled in corner they lay,
AS tho by the hand OF man
They'd been gathered and piled away
In accordance with plan.
AS unused on the work OF the wind that
day
thot twas symbol OF life;
We are tossed about in many a way
BY cares. temptations and strife.
Ard after the scenes of life are done,
Wen all be gathered homo,
Our earthly dust in o heap, alone
AS the leaves l saw In the CLONE.
