THE FAT OF THE YEAR.
Wealth the Farms Have Turned Out to
This Nation.


"The farm production for 1907 Is
well I'D to the average In quantity,
while its value Is much above that OF
any preceding year. The farmer VIII
| this year have more money to spend
and more to invest than he ever had
before out OF his years work" That
Is Secretary Wilson's opening state
ment In his eleventh annual report,
and some other pleasant items are as
follows:
"The starch OF corn becomes the fat
Of the hog and the finish OF the steer,
thus becoming a great factor In the
production Of meats and meat prod
ucts for export. While not as large
as that OF 1906, the value Of the corn
crop Of 1907 is greater and is 20 per
cent above the average value OF the
crops OF the preceding five years
The wheat crop Of 1907 is G25,576,-
900 bushels, 8 per cent less than the
average quantity for the five preceding
years. But the value Is about $500
100000, or 51a per cent more than the
average, although the crops OF 1901,
1902 and 1905 had each a slightly
higher value than that OF this year.
The seven cereal crops produced
Abe. 100000 bushels, showing a loss
| Of 214,0O0,OO0 bushels, or 8 per cent
below the FIVE year average. the loss
being chiefly due to oats. The total
value Is s2,37s,000,000. This exceeds
1906 by 5000, O00,00 and is 20 per cent
above the average.
During the fiscal year 1907 the eI'
ports Of farm products exceeded the
imports by $444, 100000 balance that
has been exceeded only four times
in 1898, 1899, 1901 and 1902.
Cotton Crop.
In value the cotton crop OF 1901
estimated TO be from $500, 100000 10
$G75 600 900, takes third place, IL In the
final estimates II does not dlsplace hay
for second rank. The commercial ex-
pectatfons are that the crop viii be
found 10 lie the third one In size ever
raised and perceptlbly larger than the
average crop Of the previous five years.
Though its farm value is probably a
little below that OF last years crop, In
other respects Il Will be the most ysln-
able cotton crop ever raised IN this
country and per cent above the aver.
age farm value OF the crops OF the
previous five years.
Dairy and Poultry.
The dairy products Of the country
alone were worth nearly SsDO,DcOlDvO
In 1907, or much more than any crop
save corn. Prices OF both butter ana
milk have advanced.
The poultry and egg products for
1857 should he estimated al more than
500. Oc0,cD0 In value. In fact, these
products were worth more than the
wheat crop.

Bond of $4,000 to Insure APP
pearance OF Alleged Forger
is Signed
SEEK HIS RELEASE FROM NAVY
Friends of the Young Man Now Work
ing Toward That End, and suppo-
sition is That Weaver Will Be Al
lowed a Leave of Absence When Pa
pers Are Delivered.
Special to Times-Republican.

Special to Times Republican.
Iowa Falls, Dec. 11.-An appearance
bond for $4,000 has just been filed In
the district court of this county. to in
sure the appearance of Walter l..
Weaver, under Indictment on two
counts for uttering forged instruments.
The bond is signed by S. NJ. Weaver,
of this city, A. A. Weaver, of Des
Moines, Representative William We'll
den, OF Iowa Falls, and j. II. Scales,
of Ackley. The bond does not state
the term for appearance for trial, but it
is generally understood that the young
, man will be here for the January term
of court, as witnesses have been sub
poenaed for that term. With the filing
of this bond, Sheriff Walsh, to whom
the credit is due for locating the young
man on the United States steamship
st. Louis, in Puget Sound, has dropped
all matters relative to Weaver's requi-
sition. which were up with the gov
ernor's office in Des Moines
An erroneous impression seems to
have gained credence to the effect that
the county will be saved $500 eX-
pense by Weaver's returning of his own
accord instead of being brought back
by an officer from the Iowa courts. The
expense, in case an officer went after
Weaver, would be borne by the state
and not by the county. The question
has been raised as to just how young
Weaver will return to this county, and
whether he will come alone or under
escort by federal or a state of Wash
ington officer
The young mans friends are now
working for release for him from
the United States navy, and the sup
position is that when the papers are
delivered to the commandant of the st.
Louis, Weaver will be allowed leave
of absence and at once start for Iowa
and stand trial at the January term of
court It is said that some of his rel
atives, presumably his uncle, will go
west to meet the young man enroute.
or at Bremerton, Wash, where the ST.
Louis is now stationed.

ter, it was decided to try the fresh
air treatment. On last Sabbath, the
patient was wrapped in wooden blank
cts, and all of the windows to his room
were taken out. lit will be remembered
curry registered as low as Ia below
zero. Everything in the room, was of
course, as cold as out in the open, but
the young man aWoke apparently re-
freshed and was brighter than he had
been for some time. The experiment.
continues with excellent results, ami
it is thought that it will not be long
until he VIII have gained sufficient
strength to be taken TO climate
where his disease can be successfully
treated without such heroic methods
being used.
