YEAR ABANNER ONE FOR the
FARMER; PRODUCTS So, ,76O, 100000

Washington, Dec. 1.-The banner
year for agricultural prosperity is
the distinction given 1909 in the an
nual report of Secretary of Agricul-
ture Wilson, which was made public
last night. The value of fasun prod
ucts is so incomprehensibly large
that it has become merely row of
figures. For this year the total is
sS,76O, 100000, a gain of $3.50. .0OO,-
900 over 1908. The value of the
products has nearly doubled in ten
years. The report says: Eleven
years of agriculture. beginning with
a production of 81, 100000 and
ending with SS,76O,OOO,OOO A sum
of s7O,OOO,O60.00O for the period!
1t has paid off mortgages, it has es-
tablished banks, it has made better
homes, it has helped to make the
farmer a citizen of the world, and
it has provided him with means for
improving his soil. and making it
more productive"
Busy Year for Department.
1t also has been a busy year for
the agricultural department In ad-
dition to increased activity in the
enforcement of the pure foods law.
the secretary found time to complete
a unique investigation into the sell
ing of beef in which he figured out
that the consumer pays 3S per cent
above the wholesale price-this be-
ing the average profit of the retail
meat dealer. In Chicago the figure
is as per cent

tional $1O,OOO,OOO collectibIe for the

The most striking fact in the
worlds agriculture is the value of
the corn crop for 1909, which is
about $1.72O, 100000 according to
the report. 1t nearly equals the
value of the clothing and personal
adorpments of 100000 people, ac-
cording to the census of 1900. The
gold and silver coin and bullion of
the United States are not of greater
value. 1t has grown up from the
soil and out of the air in 120 days
SIS. 100000 day for one crop, near
ly enough for two Dreadnoughts
daily for peace or war. This crop
exceeds in value the average of the
crops of the five preceding years by
3G per cent.
Wheat Sets New 5iark.
Third in value is wheat, worth
about 25,0OO,O00 at the Farm and
this largely exceeds all previous
value. The November farm price
was almost an even dollar a bushel,
a price which has not been equaled
since 1881. This is the third wheat
crop in point of size, with 725, 5,0OO,-
600 bushels.
The hay crop is valued at $685.
100000; oats at s4O0,00O.O00; po-
tatoes at s212.OOO.OnO; and tobac-
co at nearly 500, o,0OeAO0. Beet and
and sugar cane and molasses and
syrup, frozn farm and factory. will
reach the total of about s95.0O0,000.
The barley crop is worth SSS.0o0, 600
