GREAT PROSPERITY
Big Demand For Surplus Farms and
Factory Products
CROPS WERE POOR IN EUROPE
Due to Wet SeaSOn-Hi IN Standard of Factory
Output Gives America Lead In Markets

A Boston dispatch under date Of
August 2, contained the following
opinions as expressed by the editor Of
the Orange Judd Farmer:
An active demand at good prices for
all the surplus food products of the
United States and Canada is insured
from the consuming millions OF the
United Kingdom and on northern and
central Europe"
This declaration of such far reaching
import to American economies, industry
and finance, was made in an interview
by Herbert Myrick, editor in chief Of
He arrived at Boston on the Ivernia di-
rect from Liverpool, after three months
close observation of agricultural in.
dustrial, financial, political and social
conditions, art and education in Europe
and England.
"Owing largely to unprecedented wet
the crops of France, Germany, Austria
Hungary and the lowlands of northern
Europe will be very considerably below
the average. The same is true of Eng
land, Scotland and Ireland Reserve
stocks of grain are very low-in these
counties-hardly any old grain is left
in farmers hands. Russia crop pros
poets were better up to July 10, but
even if nothing unfavorable occurs in
the Russian wheat belt-aud disaster
may overtake crops there until threashed
Russia will not have more than fair
average surplus for export"
"What does this m9an to the United
States?"
"It spells prosperity in big capitals"
Editor Myrick replied with all the
earnestness and conviction of the ex.
pert trained TO accurately judge world
wide conditions. at means not alone
good prices for Americas S surplus crops,
but this condition insures industrial
activity and good business throughout
the United States. For the nearly
35,000,000 people on our 100000
AlutTlSdu IdIulS, Will dssSbS VI SOLuc
30 billions of dollars and productions
that this year will be worth 10 billions,
afford a practically unlimited home
market FIR domestic manufacturers.
How about the European market for
American factory products"
1T is improving. due to the higher
standard of quality. For instance.
American shoe stores now extist in the
principal cities, and our shoes are every
where the recognized standard of quail
ity. They command quite es good
prices there as herein some places as
much more as the import duty
"The true policy for almost every
American manufacturer who seeks an
outlet in Europe is to make his goods
up to sample, and to have them better
in every way than the native product
he competes with. Consumers over there
can buy cheap stuff from their own
factories---it is new. modern. up-to-date
goods of better quality that most inter-
est them"

DAS1 1ARDLY ACT
ThreShing Machine Wrecked by
Dynamite or Other Explosive

Henry Macarthur had just bought q
new threshing outfit and this week put
the machine to work north and east of
St. Louis. Two loads of grain were put
through the machine Monday and
everything worked like charm. Early
next morning the machine was started,
two or three bundels had passed through
when an explosion took place, wrecking
the machine and setting fire to the
straw stack. The fire was luckily ex-
tingnished, but the machine was a
wreck. The explosion is said to have
taken downward tendency thereby
saving the lives of three men who were
at work on the machine at the time.
The loss to the owner of the machine
is heavy one but we are told he i'm
mediately ordered new outfit and will
soon be ready to 60 ahead once more.
No cause for the dastardly act is
known.

exchange value The real worth of
farm products is measured by their
value when compared with the value
of articles which the farmer desires
TO purchase. No compilation of retail
prices for 1910 and 1896 are available
but the retail price of any commodity
follows in general way, the whole
sale price. Without retail prices it is
impossible TO measure the exact pur
chasing power of farm products, but
the proportionate change in pur-
chasing power is practically the same
