Farmers Now Lend Money.


merchant in central Illinois. who said:
within year l have sold over four
hundred fireproof safes to farmers within
a radius Of fifteen miles of my home"
Secretary Wilson's report explains the
reasons for such purposes. 1t also ex-
plains where the farmers got their money
to buy automobiles, which are becoming
as common as buggies. At the time Will
liam Mckinley was running for President
there was an agitation in the west for a
law authorizing the federal government
to loan money from the Treasury to help
the farmers buy seed and tools. Today
the farmers are loaning money to the
business men of the east to carry on
their enterprises. A large proportion of
the money used to carry on the ordinary
transactions i'm New York city and other
financial centers comes from the farmers
deposits in the village banks of the agri-
cultural sections of the country.
Prices OF all kinds of produce from the
field, from the pasture, from the garden.
from the barnyard and poultry house are
advancing steadily. The more the farm
err produces the higher the price he re-
ceives for it. which Is reversal Of the
ordinary laws that have hitherto governed
trade and industry.
No country in the world, no period in
the history of mankind ever saw such a
prolonged or remarkable prosperity as the
farmers Of the United States have en-
joyed. They are the only class of the
population whose advance in wealth has
thirteen years.
The census of the United States for
1900 reports ), 1895 farms, which have
undoubtedly increased 10 per cent in
number during the interval of nine years.
and today there are probably $500, OOO
productive farms in the country. On this
basis the average production last year
was about 81 400 per farm.

vious five years, Secretary Wilson says
that every crop is worth more to the
farmer.
Compared with 1908 this years gains
for wheat: $1O5. 100000 for corn: $4,000,
OOO for hay; $4,000, 900 for tobacco and
$15. 100000 for potatoes.
There were substantial gains in value
of dairy and country products and or
animals sold and slaughtered. The price
of butter has not been SO high in many
years, and the same is true for eggs and
dressed poultry and, except for the high
er price of last year, it Is also true Tor
milk.

1908 by $685. 10000. or by enough to buy
a new equinnent of farm machinery for
over 5000 % farms
"All the cereal crops of 1909 are worth
S. 200, 600 coo to the farmer-an amount
that would pay for all the machinery,
tools and implements Of the entire manu-
featuring industries in this country
"All crops are worth $5,7OO.OOO.O0O

In eleven years of application or mlho'

try of mankind the wealth produced by
farmers, estimated as previously describ-
ed, is valued at $4,000 100000
Eggs and Poultry.
One could wish that Secretary Wilson
had given us more information about
some Of the other sources of agricultural
wealth, but he recently published spe-
cial report concerning eggs and poultry
in which it was asserted that the pro-
ceeds of that industry were equal to the
value of the wheat and cotton crops.
which you have seen estimated at $780,
100000 and $725 coo. 600 for this year.
The income derived by the farmers
from their henhouses ranks fourth or
fifth among the sources Of wealth of this
nation. The value of the egg crop in
Kansas alone is about $4,000, 900

Tiller of the Soil Now a Lender of

BUYER OF IRON SAFES
Secretary Wilson Tells in His An
nual Report of the Prosperity
of the Agriculturist.
BY WILLIAM E. CURTIS.

BY WILLIAM E. CURTIS.
Written for The Star and the Chicago Record
Herald.
Secretary Wilson's thirteenth annual
report concerning the work Of the De-
,,artment of Agriculture and the condi-
ton of that industry throughout the
United States contains figures that are
almost fabulous.
Most prosperous of all years is the
place to which 1909 is entitled in agricul-
ture,'' he says. The yield has been
bountiful with most crops, and prices
have been high. Advantageously situated
as he is in most respects, the farmer Is
less and less generally compelled to dump
his crops on the market at the time OF
harvest. He does not need to work for
his board and clothes as he did often in
the former times, when prices were SO
low as to be Improbable.
THE agricultural production of 1909
must add much to the prosperity of the
farmers. The record is uneXampled in
wealth produced, and tells of abundance
in quantity. Year by year the farmer Is
better and better prepared to provide the
capital and make the expenditures need
ed to improve his agriculture and to edu-
cate his children for farm life and work"
In those mild phrases Secretary Wilson
restraints his enthusiasm over unprece-
dented conditions of volume and price,
which have brought the farmers of the
United States a revenue of $S.760,OOO,OOO
for the current year. 1t is true, as the
Secretary says, that the value Of farm
products is SO incomprehensibly large
that it has become merely row of
figures.
Ten years ago the total value of all
the farm crops produced in the United
States was a little more than one-half of
their value this year. The compensation
of the farmers for their labor has more
than doubled since James Wilson began
to make these reports. This year 1t is
100000 and during the last eleven years
the total has been seventy billions of
dollars
No wonder Secretary Wilson says: at
has paid off mortgages: 1T has establish
ed banks: it has helped to make the farm
err citizen of the world; it has provided
him with means for improving the soil
and making it more productive.
