Prosperity on the Farm.

New York Tribune: One Of tho
most interesting disclosures OF the
census Of 1910 Is the great gain IN
farm values made in the last decade
That gain has been distributed over
the whole country. extending into
states where agriculture has been sup
posed to be declining and abandoned
farms were much in evidence. as well
as into states where agriculture haa
long been the chief source Of wealth.
Thus in Massachusetts an increase %
81 per cent is reported In the value
OF farm land and buildings, Of 80 per
cent in the value Of implements and!
machinery and 80 per cen In the value
Of farm land an acre. The figures for
cent respectively, while in he middle
west the increases have ranged we'll
up to 100 per cent. Kansas has much
moro than doubled the value OF land
and buildings and the average value
to the acre. while In Colorado the
gains are 2s3 per cent for the land!
and buildings and ITO per cent for the|
average acre price.
The last decade was. In fact, thel
most prosperous in the whole history
OF American agriculture. It saw tho;
