The Secretary said tile figures, 49,
10000, 900, mentioned in Ills report
as tile value Of farm products last

wealth Of the farms Of the country,
including stock, cattle, grain, etc., and
had nothing to do with the cost Of
making the crops. he added that
the department had not reached the
point where it was able to give the
net profits Of the American farms.
"I know, vie said ,".that some FAR
mers claim that the corn and grain
should not be counted in, along with
the stock, as the grain is fed to- the,
stock. But doesn't that make the
stock more valuable?''
The grange complained that the fig
ures were misleading and represented
the farmer rolling In wealth, giving
NO data as to tile comparatively small
profit ne made after the hardest sort
Of work.

Harvest weather has been ideal and threshS

that by the end Of this week the largest
part Of the crop Will be threshed or safely
in stack.
Clay county Is producing one of the best
wheat crops ever rHsed for the number of
acres sown, while the oat crop is also one
of the best The general average of wheat
yield is around twenty to twenty-five BUSH
els to the acre, but there are some exceed
ingly large yields, worthy OF rotice as
showing what the land is capable, of pro-
dvci2g v'Aen in its best condition.
one farmer had a ten-acre field that had
been seeded and in pasture, this being the
first crop since breaking UP anew, that
went fifty-one bushels to the acre. An
other farmer had field of eight acres
where tame grass had been grown for sew
eral years, that went forty-Iive bushels to
the acre, while another OF his fields went
thirtyon bushels for fifteen acres, and
on forty acres continuously in wheat the
yield was twenty-five bushels per acre.
Corn is holding well and has good growth.
but rains are desired soon to save it from
harm, though the cool weather helps out
materially considering the dry conditions.
Wheat sold on the market yesterday at
80 cents. so the value OF the crop is easily
seen. Labor is high $3.50 TO 800 per day,
with IS for stackers In some instances.
