Not until there was one sharp re-

Washington, d. c., Dec. .--Most
prosperous of all Years Is the
place to which 1909 is entitled in
agriculture, declares the secretary of
agriculture, James Wilson, in his
thirteenth annual report made pub
lie today. The value OF farm products
is so incomprehensibly larke that it
has become merely row of figures.
For this year it is sS,76O, 100000, a
gain of $S69,O0O.OOO over 1908. The
value of the products has nearly
doubled in ten years. The report
says:
ELEVEN years of agriculture, begin
ming with production of $4,417, ,000,-
600 and ending with $3.50 0OO, ,OO0,-
600! A sum Of $7O,OOO,OOO,OOO for the
period! 1t has paid off mortgages, it
has established 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"
Farm Production of 1909.
The most striking fact in the
worlds agriculture is the value of
the corn crop for 1909, which is
about $1,720, 100000. It nearly equals
the value of clothing and personal
adornments of 76,O0O,00O- 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 daysE$15,-
100000 a day for one crop, nearly
enough for two Dreadnaughts daily for
peace or war. This crop exceeds in
value the average of the crops of the
five preceding years by SO per cent.
Cotton is now the second crop in
value, and this years cotton crop is
easily the most valuable one to the
farmer that has been produced. With
cotton lint selling at 1877 cents on
the farm November 1 and with cotton
seed selling for about $25 per ton,
theN line and seed of this crop are
worth about $3.50, 100000 to the farm
er. No cotton crop since 1887 has been
sold by farmers for as high price
per pound as this one.
Third in value is wheat, worth in
the neighborhood Of $f25, 100000 at
the farm, and this largely exceeds all
previous values. The November farm
price was almost an even dollar a
bushel a price which lbas not been
equaled since 1881. This is the third
wheat crop in point Of size, with 1885,
100000 bushels.
The hay crop is valued at s665000,-
900; oats at $4O0.OOo,OoOE potatoes at
$212, 100000; and tobacco at nearly
$100,000,000. Beet and cane sugar
and molasses and sirupl from farm
and factory, will reach the total OF
about s95,OO0,000. The bbrley crop is
worth $4,000, 900, flaxseeh $4,000 900,
and 1,0OO,OOO,o0O pounds Of rice $685..
