Washington, November 1S.-tSpec1al) The annual report of the Secretary or Agriculture will show a record-break- ing year for the farmer. The value or his crop will be in round numbers sS GOO 900 .0O0 an increase of about $500. .oOo,O over the preceding year.
 Even at the rate at which Congress is now appropriating money. it would take that body eight years to dispose of it. In other words. enough money is' now being extracted out of the farms of the country in year to pay for running the government for eight years. Last year the total value of crops was under $7, 7,500,000. .444. Secre- tarv Wilson now has experts engaged in figuring out the value of the farm crop. He k getting ready to incor porate the tacts in his annual report. In recent years Secretary Wilson's an nual reports have attracted wide notice because of the peans they have sung to the prosperity of the farmer; of the almost fabulous presentations they have made of the output of corn and hay and cotton and other crops.
 This year will not be an exception. In fact the secretary will be able to tell a story of prosperity, of wealth and riches in the lands of the United States that will read like chapter from the Arabian Nights. Not only will 1t overshadow
