FARM VALUE $7,77S, 100000.
Wealth Produced by Farmers Last
Year Was Four Times That From
Mines and Mineral Oils.

Secretary Wilson Of the agricultural
department In his twelfth annual re-
port says that the farm value of all
farm products of 1908 reaches the
most extraordinary total in the ma.
tion's history--$7.77S,O 900, 900. This is
about four times the value of the pro.
ducts of the mines, including minrral
oils and precious metals.
The farmer contributes 81 per cent
Of the raw materials used in these
manufacturing industries wAicn depend
mostly or considerably upon agricul-
tural materials, and these industries
use AZ per cent of materials used in all
Industries.
The gain in value Of farm products
in 1908 over 1907 is s29O,0OO,0OO and
would have been much larger had not
the prices of cotton and hay been low.
The value of products in 1899, the cen
sus year, being taken at 100, the value
for 1903 stands at 1875, for 1904 at 131,
for 1905 at 1874, for 1906 at 143, for 1907
at 159, and for 1908 at 165. During
the last ten years the wealth produc-
tions on the farms of this country has
exceeded the fabulous sum Of $50, 0,000,-
100000.

Big POULTRY SHOW OPENS.
Chicago Exhibition, With Thousands
of Specimens, Begins Today.

Chicago, Dec. 15.-The Chicago poul-
try show, one of the three big events
of the year for the fowl fancier open
ed here today with a splendid exhibit
ton of chickens, pigeons, turkeys,
duck geese and other feathered speci-
mems. The two other big shows OF the
year are those in New York and Bos-
ton. This year the Chicago show is
the first of the three.
The poultry show has attracted to
the city persons interested in poultry
from all parts of the country. More
than 1,OOG chickens Of all known
breeds are entered. Prizes amounting
to more than 100000 are offered
Many comparisons have been insti-
tuted between the present show and
the cattle exposition. While the total
value of the exhibits in the poultry
show is far short Of the live stock ex-
hibition, there are many individual
birds more costly than the finest cattle
and horses. There is one hen in the
show which is valued at $4,000 and
many others ranging from $4,000 to
800.
