Crops Prospects Bright
Over Entire Country


Associate ed Picss Dispatch.
Washington, d. c., July "a
The crops throughout the United
States this year, according tol
the estimates of the department
of agriculture, will without doubt
be record.breakers, and they
will prove a very important item
in lessening the continued hard
ships brought on by the financial
troubles of last year Taking
the yearly increase in crop values
as a basis for an estimate, 1t Is
likely that the 1908 values will be
beyond the $1,000, 100000 mark.
Six years ago it was little less
Than $6, 600, 100000.
| The following fig1res, based
on official calculations. will indi'
cate the growth in the value OF the
country's crops in the last Jew
years, and are signs Of the times
which should do away with tht
feeling of calamity felt by many
at thi. time:
1907 values, 81 ,412, 900, 900; 190
I, values, $6.?55, 900, 900; 1905 val
ues, So 309.0 100000; 1904 values
Sc, ,l59 900, 900, and 1908 values
$780,, 900, 900.
