The farmers of America have
produced about eight billion dollars
worth of crops this year, the great
est total in the history Of the land.
But the record will not stand. There
are not likely ever again to be the
low prices for cereals, corn and cot
ton which the country has known in
times past, because of Increased
demand at home and abroad. And
in the mere matter of the produc-
tion Of bushels, American agri,ul
ture is far from being fully develop
Ell. Secretary Wilson, while proud
Of this years eight billion dollar
crop, is busy telling the farmers how
they may make it twelve billion
next year, by q little more care and
intelligence in farming. That Is
greater increase than will come. In
fact, the record of 1903 may remain
for several years unbroken, as prices
are apt to be lower, CT the crop
less. But there is no denying that
the farmer is steadily gaining In
several directions More and more
he appreciates the Importance of
selecting good seed; the necessity OF
a rotation Of crops a d the use OF
fertilizers, if his land is to main
tain its fertility, and his crops to
increase. There are no longer any
great areas of new land to open IN
America, but the field for profitable
exploitation Of new agriculture
methods is enormous, alli the iarm
er is finding out. Secretary Wilson
lis not a young man, but he may liv'
| to see America harvests that tweiv
billion dollar crop.
