The farm lands o. the east and
of the humid regions of ihe world
generally, besides being more or
lrss exhausted by constant cult
vation. have for ages been washed
by copious rainfalls. Here in the
west, where freshets have not rob-
bed the soil of its mineral salts,
fertility has for centuries been
accumulating, with the result that
today under proper irrigation
three or four acres of land, pro-
ducing a good crop every year
can be made to support family.
In fact we know of one acre
which this year brought 50, 800.
In the other farm lands of the
world a hundred acres is o ften
insufficient to provide the needs
of family. A small piece of
our arid land. devoted to fruits,
vegetables and forage plants. un-
der irrigation produce wonderful
results. Irrigation is regarded as
the pre-eminent meth cd of sue
cessful agriculture and the man
who has once followed it will
never again care to depend upon
the caprice of the rainfall to make
crop for him. The time has
passed when people pretend to
speak disparagingly of irrigation
for everybody has now come to
regard it as the proper thing and
so it is Field and Farm.

POTOMAC FISH SCARCE.
Nets May Be Cut Out Unless the
prospect Improves.

At the 18th street wharf fish market
II is said that never before in the his
tory of the fish ng industry on the Po-
tomac have fresh fish been SO scarce
as they have been this fall and winter.
Ordinarily at this season the river steam
ers bring up forty or fifty barrels OF
perch. bass. carp, catfish and other varie-
ties of river fish, but this season If they
have a half dozen barrels a trip, they
are doing we'll. Receipts from the fish
cries on the Virginia coast near Norfolk
and from the New Jersey coast fisheries
are also very light, and to meet the de-
mand frozen trout and bluefish have been
put on the market, and are commanding
good prices The fishermen operating nets
along the lower river are becoming great
~ discouraged, and unless the catch i'm
pro, es they will cut out and return
home. Fish have been becoming fewer
and fewer each year the Potomac. un-
til now. judging from the Ill success
the fishermen are having, there are but
few left.

as high-priced beef. In other words. 1t is
safe inference that the poorer classes
of people pay twice as much profit to thei'
market men meat that they buy than
the richer classes. 1t is also true that
the percentage of profit is lower on all
the good cuts than it is upon the least
desirable. 1t will be noticed also that as
a rule the prices are lower in large
towns than in the small towns, which is
probably due to competition
Secretary Wilson says a word in defense
of the retailer. and reminds us that city
customers insist upon the prompt deliv-
cry of their purchases, and this requires
a man. horse and wagon. They often
want the market man to send one OF his
clerks to their dwellings to take their or

he retail business is overdone.
The multiplication of small shops, the
report says, is burden to consumers and
no source of riches to the small shopkeep-
ers. When twenty or more small SHOPS

excess of what would be sufficient for

Range Herds Broken Up.

There has been breaking up Of range
herds" Secretary Wilson says, "conse-
quent upon the enforcement Of thu no
fence law of the national government
and by the encroachment Of the settlers
upon the ranges. made possible by the
practice Of dry farming. Not all of the
cattle have gone directly from the ranges
to the slaughter houses. A great portion
of them have gone to farms for maturing
and finishing. largely upon corn This
extra demand on the corn crop is re-
flected in corn prices. which are now
higher than they have been since the rec
ords OF the Department of Agriculture
began. in 1866 except for 1881.
Summing UP the results OF the inquiry,
it appears that the causes for the IN
crease of the price of meat are: ID The

the retailer: (2) the scarcity of cattle. due
to the breaking up of the ranges; I'D the

written for The Star and the Chicago Record
Herald.
Secretary Wilson has been making
unique investigation into the reasons for
the advance in the prices of meats, which,
he says, is of vital interest to nineteen
million families in the United States. and
he finds that the retailers are chiefly re-
sponsible, although other causes have
contributed more or less.
He is making further inquiry into the
reasons for the increase in the prices OF
butter, eggs, groceries and all sorts OF
food products, the results of which will
be ready for publication soon.
Secretary Wilson asserts that two
ffths of the expenditures of the families
of medium incomes are devoted to food
and that one-third of the national diet
airy Is composed of meat. fact which is
keenly appreciated by everybody
The investigation into the increase of
retail prices for meat has been made
through employees of the Agricultural De-
partment in fifty different cities and
towns, large, medium and sma !, In dif-
ferent parts of the country. lhey were
selected at random and represent com

was prepared to record the actual eN-
periences of retailers in buying and sell
ing carcass or a half carcass or pee1;
the weight and who eSale cost in bulk
and the weight and retail price for every
cut for which a uniform price is charged.
Thus 1t became possible not only to COM
pare high-priced and low-priced cuts. but
also to compute accurately the total re-
tail price per pound and the consumers
cost of the piece for which the wholesale
price had been recorded.
Average Gross Profit.
For the fifty places throughout the
United States from which the reports
we're received the mean gross profit in
selling beef--that is, the retail price
charged consumers above the wholesale
price paid by the retailers-averages 30
per cent. In five cities 1t is p per cent
or under; in ten cities between Il ana 80
per cent; in twelve cities between 81 and
40 per cent; i'm twelve cities between Al
and 30 per cent, and in eleven cities more
than 50 per cent profit is enjoyed by the
retailer.
The average profit enjoyed by the re-
taller in the north Atlantic states is 81. 4

states, - per cent; in the northwestern
states, 80 per cent in the southwestern

charged by retailers of meats over and
above the wholesale prices in the various
towns named:

Increased Cost Of Corn.

Secretary Wilson calls attention to the
rapid advance in the price of corn, which
he SAYS should be considered because it
makes Ii so much the more costly for the
farmer to fatten a steer than formerly.
And I'm comparing prices during the last
ten years he comes to the conclusion that
the increase in the cost of beef has been
much smaller in proportion than the In
crease in the cost of corn and other ma
terials of which beef is made. The
general fact Isl Secretary Wilson says,
that in the upward movement OF prices
since 1896 the products of the farm have
Jared better than those Of any other class
of commodities, the only large item that

begun to rise above the price level of

For the purpose of making comparison

1900 when everything was low, is adopted
as the standard or base line represented
by 100 and compared with that the
Wholesale price OF the best native steers
at the Chicago stockyards in 1908 was
1854 and in 1900 1t was 1899 Beef
carcasses in Chicago are 1887 and in New
York 1891. While corn on the farm was
2126 in the great cattle-feeding state Of
Iowa the price of two-year-old steers
reached as high point on the farm as
1888 in 1900, dropped to ST. In 1905. rose
to 1905 In 1907. again fell to 91.6 in 1908.
and in the following year it touched 1887.

In Regard to Hogs.

Secretary Wilson explains that THE
farmers situation in regard to hogs is
more fair than that of cattle, but 1t Is
still apparent that during the last three
years the price of corn has been too high
for the price of hogs. The relative price
OF hogs on the farm January l. 1909. was
lab. as compared with 100 for the mean
price for 1896 1900, and the average cost
of all hogs slaughtered at principal mar
kets in the year before was 14S.1, or about
the same as the farm price. The price OF
dressed hogs OF 100 pounds in New York
in 1903 stands at 1857 and the carcasses
of market pigs at Chicago at 1854 which
is approximately the number representing
the relative retail price of fresh pork.
I'm the case of hogs, therefore, the
farmer has fully participated in the rls-
ing prices, whereas in the case of the
farmers cattle the unfed animals are
barely as valuable as they were nine to
fourteen years ago. and had not the price
of corn asce nded to a high figure perhaps
he would not have shared in the higher
beef prices.
The foregoing conclusions are for fresh
meat The prices Of cured and prepared
meats have increased in much greater
degree than the prices of other meats
have Increased, both for beef and pork:
These cured meats include bacon, picked
beef, picked pork and lard
