Prosperity of the Farmers.
Very respectfully yours,
j. p. SMELKER.

Oshkosh Northwestern.
That the farmers Of this country are
more prosperous today than ever be-
fore in the history of the nation is
fact that is generally conceded, al
though it is doubtful if the full extent
of this prosperity is appreciated by the
people generally, or even by the farm
ers themsel, es. Some light on the
question. however, is furnished by a
brief review of government statistics,
which show that the increase in the
value of farm property for the past
seven years has been the stupendous
sum Of IS, 900, 600, 600, or, in round num-
bers $l00 for every man, woman and
child in the United States Averages
are very misleading, for they drag
down the higher, always in the major
| ity, even while they raise the lower.
But in the matter of averages the
farmer has Jared marvelously we'll In
1890 the S,565, 600 people engaged in
agriculture produced farm products
valued at 80, 466, 600, 600, or S2S7 per
capita. In 1907 the II, 99l, 900 farmers
produced to the value of So, 4l2, 600 600.
or $6lS per capita During that period
the number of people engaged in sgri-
culture increased forty per cent, and
from 1900 to 1907 the value of all farm
property increased thirty-nine per
cent, from $50, 439 600, 900 to SOS, O77,-
eco, GOO, a gain of nearly $1,000, 600,
though the number of people engaged
in agriculture increased only fifteen
per cent
Statistics Of this kind are a cause
for congratulation. No one begrudges
the farmer his prosperity, for on the
prosperity of the agricultural interests
largely depends the prosperity Of the
entire country And while prosperity
has ruled in all sections Of the eoun-
try, and has come to practically all
classes of citizens during the past
several years. none have been more
favored in this respect than have the
tillers Of the SOIL Moreover no other
class has been SO little affected by the
occasional business set-backs and
periods of depression that have oc-
Cured during recent years. Prices for
farm products have steadily mounted
until the farmer today gets better
average returns for his labor than ever
before. Nor can the farmer fail to
connect this, to at least some extent,
with the benefcent effects OF Repub-
hcan administration in governmental
affairs. The Republican party may
not have made prosperity, but it has
certainly aided and promoted condi-
ton Of this nature. and is deserving of
some credit therefore

after the ballots have been counted,
and that is the home endorsement, Not

DENATuRED alcohol makes slow prog
ress in this country, but it is officially
reported that $4,000 stills produce the
article in Germany and chiefly from
potatoes, of which the average Ger
man yields PIT bushels an acre, COM
pared with 81 bushels in the United
States. This country, great as it is in
agriculture, has much to learn in in
tensive farming.

CONTRARY to general expectation
Mr. HaJton appears to have the lowest
vote of the four candidates. The near
est friends Of Hatton will be especially
disappointed with the result. They
coaxed and argued a great deal with
men who were friendly with McGovern,
trying to persuade them to concentrate
their votes ON Hatton as there was no
show, as they thought to elect Mccoy
ern and that he ought to withdraw.
They see now that it would have been
more reasonable for Mr.. Hatton to
nave withdrawn.

THE Chicago Tribune recently stated
that rust annually damages the crops
of America to an amount exceeding
$500 600, 0OO. The department of agri-
culture has put on record the amazing
statement that the injury to wheat
and oats from rust, probably exceeds
that caused by any other fungus or in
sect pest, and in some localities is
greater than that caused by all other
enemies Of the crops combined.

The State: One of the most striking
facts of the senatorial contest is the
showing made by Francis Il. McGovern.
That with so little ado and with so
little money spent he should poll such
a large vote shows that he has won the
hearts of great many people who
stand ready to endorse his work The
votes he received were won by person
al merit and not by the work of hired
underlngs.
