Great Is the United States.

The final census figures we're given
out last Saturday and makes remark
able showing. The United States
has under it's flag 101, 100, 600 people.
Of this vast sum, 81, 972, 228 live in
the states and the remainder on the.
islands acquired from Spain. The
most remarkable showing of all the
states was made in the state of Wash
ington, which has increased in the
past ten years more than 12O per
cent. Its nearest competitor is Okla
homa. Washington has 1, 141, 800
people, which entities the state to five
representatives in Congress, two more
than we now have. The state OF
Oregon has but 667, 900 people and
will have one more Congressman.
King County is credited with 284, 638
people, having more than one fourth
of the people in the state. The largest
city in the state, is, of course, Seattle
with 237, 800 people. The second
largest city is Spokane which has
1O4, 800. The third city is Tacoma,
having Ct, 780 people. OF all the
counties of the state, only one showed
a decrease of population, that Vas

Panama-Pacif1c Exposition.

California has appropriated SAL,
the Panama Pacific international Elk
position in 1915. The people Of the
state have given SIT, 800, 600 to build
the exposition itself, and Nov. they
authorized, with a tremendous ma
jority of votes, the assurance Of S18,-
900, 600 in highway bonds that Cali
fornia in 1915 may be good to look
upon when the exposition visitors
crowd toward the Golden Gate. At
the same time $l1, $780, 600 in bonds
was voted to make sure that the har
bors of San Francisco and San Diego
are in condition by 1915 to handle the
increased shipping that must result
from the opening of the Panama canal.
Altogether SAT, 900, 900 has been pro-
vided for improvements and the glory
of the world show.
The sum of SIT, 5000 provided for
the exposition is the largest ever
gathered by any state for any exposi
ton anywhere. The sum of SlS, OOO,
900 in bonds voted for a system OF
state highways assures the greatest
project of it's kind ever attempted
west of New York, which is east of
nearly all the United States. Then
$40, OOO 600 for San Francisco's harbor
and 81, 500, 900 for San Diego's is an
evidence that California will be ready
to take it's part in Americas effort
to gain the commercial supremacy of
the Pacific when Uncle Sam opens the
locks at Panama. Rich and liberal
California has shown her faith in the
canal and her own future.

Life Halls. The object Of this is to
have established in farming COM

gatherings as we'll as an educational
center. These halls could be made OF
immense value to the districts they
serve. They could be used as libra
ries, reading rooms, and in fact be-
come the social center of the neigh
borhood. They can also be used for
experiment stations to teach better
agriculture. Farmers could meet to
discuss problems confronting them.

If the postal department really
wants to make itself self sustaining
and of more benefit to the people let
it urge upon Congress to establish
at once parcel posts system. 1t is
remarkable thing that this nation,
which is first in nearly everything, is
the slowest to make it's postal depart
ment really efficient of any OF the
great nations. The European nations
have had postal savings banks and
parcel post system for many years.
Most of these nations carry through
their postal department packages up
to eleven pounds, and at a rate less
than one fourth of what our Govern
ment would charge. Our rural routes
are all established, and practically
all of them run at loss. Ii parcel
delivery was established, everyone
could be made self sustaining and
the Government would be able within
a year to wipe out the Postal deficit.

Farmers Make New Records

Again Secretary Wilson of the De-
partment of Agriculture has Issued
his annual report of the work done
bv the farmers of the nation and
again the figures, astounding as they
we're in 1909, are far surpassed IN
1910. The entire value of the crops
produced by the American farmers
for the present year is estimated at
So, 926, OO0,OO0 Since l899-in twelve
years. the value of agricultural pro-
ducts has doubled.
AS usual the corn crop leads in
value of farm products, this year
reaching 3, 12l, 381, 900 bushels, the
largest ever gathered and its value IS
placed at 81, 800, 600, OOO
The cotton crop this year is worth
5000. 900, 900. The hay crop is worth
S72O, 900, 900. The wheat crop has
fallen to fourth place and this year IS
valued at 1925, 600, 900. The Oat crop
is fifth in value, reaching the sum OF
1880. OOO.O 900. Potatoes are next in
value and the crop this year is the
largest ever grown save one in 1909,
and valued at 1925, 600, 600.
The entire value of cereal crops
declined over 800, 900, 900 from last
wear, but the value of the animal pro-
ducts gained S425, 900, 900.
One item of more than passing
interest to the farmer is the showing
made Of the amount Of money the
farmer received for his product.
When sold to the consumer the average
in the United States will not go
higher than 40 per cent, that is, the
farmer who produces the crop gets
ONLY 45 per cent of the amount the
consumers pay. The balance OF %
per cent goes to pay freight and the
MANY commissioner who handle
his product before it reaches the table
of the consumer. Seventy six leading
cities in the U. S. show that the
dairymen received less than 90 per
cent for his milk, while the poultry
man received 81 per cent for his
poultry and 60 per cent for his eggs.
The cabbage grower receives only AZ
per cent for his product but the celery
grower receives 60 per cent. The
apple grower receives but DO per cent,
