WILSON AN oPTNnsT.
Secretary Of Agriculture Sees Good
Times Ahead.

asked Secretary Wilson what his
friends, the farmers, have added to
the wealth OF the country this year,
says W. E. Curtis of the Recoed-
Herald.
I'VE are at work just now getting
at the figures, and the total is prob
ably far beyond that OF last year,
which was ,44O,oOO.oOO, and
that is real money" answered the
secretary. at is not fictitious, but
an actual value. 1t has all como
out OF the ground, and in compen-
sation for the labor of the year. 1t
Is wealth that did not exist before.
IL is all clear gain, and consists Of
tangible property-corn, hay, wheat,
cotton and other things that are
needed by everybody ad are counted
among the necessaries OF life
nearly seven and half billions OF
dollars-probably the largest sum
that was ever added to the wealth OF
the world by any nation in a single
year" ,na. no ..
What Is the biggest crop this
year," rI.
The greatest crop of America is
grass. and then corn. Next after
corn is probably cotton; then come
wheat and poultry running neck and
neck, The product of the hen crop
Is now nearly as valuable as that
Of the wheat field.
Then why are eggs 40 cents n
dozen?"
I'm the first place, the American
people eat great many eggs, and
in the second place there are not
enough people keeping chickens and
producing eggs. The price is due to
the law OF supply and demand. II
twice as many eggs were produced
In the United States they would
be cheaper in the market"
what is the corn crop this year?"
The primary estimate Of the crop
reporting board of the department
is 2,642,6S7,0O0 bushels of corn, as
compared with 2.592,320, 900 bush
els, the final estimate for 1907. The
average yield per acre is 26.2 BUSH
els, which compares with 25.9, the
final estimate for 1907, and 25.6.
the average for the past ten years.
The quality is better than ever as
we'll as the quality, and, is $50,
compared with 1928 in 1907, $40
the average for the past ten years.
"All the principal crops OF the
country for this year are better than
they ever were and the estimate OF
the crop reporting board of the de-
partment shows that the volume is 3
per cent greater than in 1907, and
"a per cent greater than the aver
age OF the preceding five years,
while values are higher in almost
every case. The average for the last
five years in volume is exceeded in
everything except oats, flaxseed, po-
tatoes and tobacco; and the quality
OF every crop is better, except that oil
tobacco. Here are some figures:
Crop OF 1908,
Corn, bushels .....2,642,6S7,O 900

We had since the beginning OF the
Mckinley administration" / asked
mot one There has not been
failure Of crops in this country foG
twelve years, at least. We do nOS
anticipate crop failures nowadays in
this country. Every year there is
some locality where some crop is not
as good as usual. Corn and grass
suffered on account OF the drouth
in good many localities this year,
but there will never again be any
general failure Of crops. They may
be short here and yonder, but science
has taught our farmers how TO defy
the weather as far as crop growing
Is concerned"
do you attribute these great crops
to Republican administration"
asked.
well, we don't quite claim that,
but we do claim that the Republi-
can administration, with liberal ap-
preparations, made by Republican
congress. has been able to encourage
and instruct the farmers in produc-
ing new crops and better crops, and
to make the most OF their labor;
and the Republican party since Nc
Kinely came in has protected labor
and kept labor at work so that the
working people of the country have
had money to buy the products of the

Now when you como to inquire
whether those who deal in meats

call something that occurred between
me and a city butcher here. l was
asked that question once, and replied
that thought the retailer added
considerably to the cost of meat.
The next day a butcher In the city

meats to the consumer and that was

he is making his preparations to 90
