The annual report Of The Secretary Of
Agriculture. just made public, shows
among other things that may be Of inter-
est our farmers, that the value of all
farm products Of 1898 reaches the most
extraordinary total in the nations history
Fl rs. ooO.ooO. The gain over 1907 is
$2oo, 900, 900. Greatest of all crops is
Indian corn, whose production this year
is 2,643, 900, 900 bushels, worth $r,6r5,-
600. 600. This crop is worth this year
nearly as much as the great crops of
cotton, hay and wheat combined.
The greatest hay crop in history has
been gathered this year, SO, 900, 900 tons,
or IL per cent above the average of the
preceding five years. Its price is Sc per
ton less than il was a year ago, but still
the farm value of the crop is 1921, 900, 600,
or per cent above the five-year average
Wheat is ~ per cent above the FIVE
year average in production and % per
cent above in total value. The GO, ooo,-
600 bushels of this crop are estimated to
be worth $500, 900. 900 to the farmers,
or $66, 900, 900 more than the most val
liable wheat crop heretofore produced.
Although the oat crop suffered from
drouth, the value is $32I, 900, 900, for
7So, ooo, 900 bushels, or 10 per cent above
the FIVE year average value and 9 per cent
below the average product. Rye remains
in the notch that il has, occupied in pro-
duction in recent years, but its value,
$2a, 900. 600, is II per cent above the
average.
All cereals aggregate 4,32e, 900, 900
ushels, total that has been exceeded
three times. but the value reaches
f., 6e4. 900, 900, or more than 5000, ooo,-
600 above that of 1897. and exceeds still
more the totals of former years. Com
pared with the preceding five years, the
number of bushels is higher by OF per
cent and the value higher by 80 per cent.
Unfavorable weather made the potato
crop only a75.ooo,o 900 bushels, or S per
cent below the FIVE year average,
although the value, $Ieo, ooo, 900, is IS
per cent above and was never equaled by
any former crop
Although the farmer gets hardly 20 cts.
pound for his butter, between 3 and q
cents quart for his milk, aud about u
cents for each egg, yet the value of the
farm products of the dairy COW is getting
close to $500 600, 900, aud the value of
the eggs and poultry produced on the
farm is worth as much as the hay crop or
the wheat crop.
In the past few years the value of farm
lands has greatly increased, farm wages
are higher and the production per acre
has been greatly increased in some
sections.

The total popular vote of the Presi-
dental candidates at the last national
election, shows the following votes cast
Tan. Republican, 1857. 676; Bryan. Dem
ocrat. 6.3o3fi82; Debs, Socialist, 44S, 453;
Chain. Prohibitiouist, a4I.a52; Hisgen,
Independence. So. 1856; Watson, Populist,
So. 87I; Gilhaus, Socialist Labor. 15.A2r
Total for all candidates, ID. 8s2, ago
This grand total exceeds by I,34I,ssr
the total number of votes cast In the
Presidential election of 1904. when the
grand total was I3.SIo.7oS.
Compared with that election, the candi.
dates of the Republican, Democratic and
Socialist parties increased their vote this
year. The reverse is true of the caudi.
dates of the Prohibition, Populist and
Socialist Labor parties. The Indepen.
dence party did not figure in the contest
OF four years ago.
The greatest difference in party vote
Is shown in an increase for Bryan Of
I.3I5,2II over the total vote cast in
1904 for Alton B. Parker, the Democratic
candidate. Taft received I4,ioo votes
more than were polled for Presiden,
Roosevelt in 1909, and Debs ran as. ass
ahead of his predecessor on the Socialist
ticket.

How To Avoid Catching Colds.

AS every one is liable to catch cold
and as colds are very dangerous because
they terminate in chronic throat or lung
diseases, every one should be interested
in learning how to avoid colds The
way is simple. Never sleep too cold.
never fall asleep in cold room. or while
sitting in cold draft. No one ever
catches cold while the body and mind
are active, no matter how cold one may
get. If you are suffering from cold or
its effects, Rydale's Cough Elixir is the
quickest and best remedy you can use.
Rydale's Cough Elixir is sold under a
guarantee. 25c and soc bottle. Eli T.

President Roosevelt apparently re-
alizing that Congress does not intend to
do much more than collect salaries during
the present session, has started out to keep
the members supplied with reading mat
ter, and thereby occupy their attention in
a measure. Two special messages have
already been sent to them, in addition TO
the annual message. One of the special
messages concerns the dismissal of the
negro soldiers, and the other is in relation
to the Panama canal scandal

The Delaware State Grange in annual
session at Dover last week put itself on
record on the temperance question, not
being content alone with the passage Of
a resolution favoring Local Option, and
submitting reports showing that crime
and arrests have fallen off in Kent and
Sussex counties since Local Option has
become operative there, and that condi-
tions have greatly improved, but showed
their interest in furthering the cause by
adopting resolutions relative to the ship
ment of liquor from ''wet" into "dry"
districts, and demanding that the Legis-
lature pass law prohibiting this. as well
as the printing of liquor advertisements
in papers in dry districts.

Despite the fact they are jncurring
Presidential wrath, and running the risk
of being elected to the Ananias Club,
some of the members of Congress have
had the tardihood to demand an investi-
cation of the Panama canal scandal,
growing out of the charges that the pur-
chase of the canal from the French COM
pany was engineered by the Presidents
Cabinet advisers; that the money was
paid not to the French government. as
alleged, but to J. P. Morgan & Co., and
that SIS. 900. 900 of the $40, 900, 900 was
paid to the stockholders of New Jersey
syndicate. and $4,000, 900 more is still
lying in the treasury of this New Jersey
corporation; and that SIC. 900 more
was paid by the United States to foster
herevolution that took the strip of land
in the canal zone away from Columbia.
The charges have had the effect Of call
ing forth special message from the
President. which fairly bristles with
strong language and dismisses the whole
matter as tissue of falsehood. The
President goes after the New York World
and its proprietor, laying the blame oil
starting the whole agitation there, and
declaring Joseph Pulitzer. the proprietor
lis libeler and villi6er and should be
brought to justice. IF the reports of the
public press are to be credited the message
Pwas received by Congress more in the
mature of colossal joke than any degree
'of seriousness.

Albert Williamson is now an
ardent admirer of J. Walter
Kehoe, candidate for Congress
in this district. Williamson, as
our readers will recall, is editor
of the Floridiau, published in
Jacksonville. A week or two
ago we published a paragraph
from his paper in which he stat
ed-after having personally
seen and. presumably, talked
with, Mr.. Kehoe--that that
gentleman "could never hope to
measure up to the standard of
a real, live congressman" Mr..
Kehoe evidently saw the para
graph in the New Enterprise and
then he sat himself down and
wrote Mr.. Williamson one of the
very cleverest, kindest, most
courteous apd diplomatic let
tiers it has ever been our pleas
ure to read. Albert, like the
mIn he is, was struck with it,
ana published 1t in full in his
paper and as a postscript added
that "we have thus far express,
ed no choice among the candi-
dates for Congress over in the
Third District. but now we are
unalterably and overwhelming
ly in favor of Walter Kehoe"
Albert is a fine fellow, ruggedly
honest aud as true ds steel, but
he evidently believes now that
written words weigh much
heavier in sizing up mans
capabilities than personal APP
pearance aud spoken converse
ton.

Certain self.styled anti.corpo
ration papers have for some
time applied to other papers,
which, they claim. are corpora
tion-controlled, the ignomini-
GUS term cuckoo" John COL
Inns of the True Democrat, has
come back at them with a
counter term peculiarly apt
and appropriate. proving that
in the coming OF epithets, it is
Greek met Greek. Johns word
is "pee-wee." In our boyhood
days "pee-wee" was a small
marble-the very smallest of
the marble family, if we remem
Der correctly-and ordinarily
made of the cheapest substance
clay, if W. mistake not. John
has fallen upon a good name
it Is a small man indeed, smaller
editor, still, who would try by
innuendo aud insinuation, to
cast reproach upon a brother.
Such conduct only serves to
bring the press itselfinto disre-
pute and make ridiculous those
who are engaged in a lofty and
exalted profession. We wish for
the good OF the cause that such
journalism would cease.
