A careful estimate indicates that
since the foundation of Tuskegee in
stitute, two years of training have
been given to approximately 5000
persons. The average length of time
that these 5000 persons have been
out is fourteen years, during which
time their estimated earnings have
been SSS,20O.0O0. If they had not re-
ceived an industrial training, they
would have earned during the fourteen
years only $12.600.000. That is, by
receiving an industrial training, they
have been able to earn s75.6OO.OOO
more than they would have earned
had they not received this training.

Little is being said about the APP

Board of Assessors to succeed Theodore
Strong, whose term expires next month.
1t is said certain influences are begin

state house, thus renewing his hold on
state politics.
Those who remember the hard strug-
gle Strong had to get a reappointment
when Governor Stokes, q Republican,
was in Office will wonder why it is that
his reappointment is even thought pos
sibly by a governor of the opposite par
Ity. Strong had to fairly. get on his
knees and beg Governor Stokes to name
him, even going SO far as to sign a
written promise that he would retire
from politics IL given his position

The Personal Prosperity of
the Farmer, Especially
the Irrigation Farmer


that conservative growth which counts
as the years 80 by.
Deming As An Example.
Deming, n. II, is an excellent exam
pie OF a town which passed through
trials and viCissitudes until IT was dis
covered that the lands surrounding
were capable Of agricultural develop
ment. In the old days Deming was
first a railroad town, and experienced
that fugitive prosperity always present
In town with a large, but temporary,
payroll When the railroad cons tructiOn
was finished, business declined. For a
number Of yeaEs 1t was considered a
mining and stock raising town. A few
seasonab1e years, and a few lucky
strikes, and Deming was on the boom,
but when drOuths came the cattle in
dustry languished, and when fortune
no longer favored the miner, the miner
drlfted into other localities. So the
town went on Tor years. now busy. now
dull with very little TO encourage sub
stantial improvements, and few induce
ments being offered to outside capital
for investment
It IS far otherwise with Deming at
the present time. a little over two
years ago, II was discovered that Dem
Ing was in the center Of an agricultural
region unsurpassed in the sOuthWes
The reason that these fertile acres had
lain fallOw so long, was that the rain
fall was insufficient for the raising Of
crops, and there was no actual demon
SUra ton In the valley that water could
be pumped for irrigation. The discovery
that water could be pumped here for
irrigation was Uantamouut to the dis
covery that the Mimbres valley was an
agricultural section.
An Agricultural Center.
Since 1t has been demonstrated that
Deming is IN the center of a great ag-
Hlcultural valley, where there is an
abundance Of the purest water in the
world for irrigation, and that this wa
ter can be produced for a moderate cost
the town has shown q most remark
able and substantial growth. The char
acter Of this growth is evidenced by
the substantial nature Of the improve
ments. Brick and concrete business
buildings have been built by the block,
ranging in price from $4,000 up TO 500
600. A new courthouse costing in the
neighbOrhood OF $4,000 has been erect
ed, a high school building almost as
expensive. a So 900 hospital, a sanitary
sewer system costing about $4,000
has been installed, miles Of cement
sidewalk laid and any number OF pri-
vate cottages ranging in price from
$1,000 to $4,000
All Of which goes to show that per-
manent improvements follow when It

The secretary OF agriculture begins
hsi annual report for 1910 thus cheer
ingly,
lege to record another most prosperous
year in agriculture
Sometimes the increased prosperity
has been due to weather unusually Ia
v0rabIe to agriculture, sometimes to
higher values caused either by greater
Weld or demand. or by great ter money
returns due to scant productloni DuI
usually the advance in farmers pros
perity has been in spite Of various
drawbacks 1t would seem that this
country Is so large in extent and has
such a varied climate, soil and crops
that no nationwide calamity can berau
its farmers. Com bined with this strong
position in agriculture, the nation may
now begin to derive increased conf
dence in its agriculture because OF i'm
prOvementS that are permeaung the
whole country In consequence OF
grand movement sustained by the ma
tional department Of agriculture and the
various state agencies"
It IS thus that the secretary Of agri-
culture gives expression TO his conf-
dence in the stability Of farming and
farm lands in the United States. Other
Industries wax and W7ane but the farm
ers' prosperity is ever on the increase.
The farmer stands IN the position Of
mOnOpOlisL, so to speak He can pro
duce upon his farm nearly everything
that he requires, and also things which
other people must have. IN addition to
this. as the population Of the country
increases, the demand for the plot OF
ground he owns becomes greater and
and greater and hence he derives an
added profit from the rise in the value
of his land, due solely to the fact that
more people desire It.
The Mother Of Industries.
Agriculture may well be called the
mother Of all industries" for all in
dustries are more or less dependent
upon her When she thrives, all other
industries thrive, when she fails. it is a
general calamity. Towns which are
dependent upon agriculture have the
surest growth, and are generally recog-
niz-- to be upon a most substantial
basis. Contrast the town supported by
agriculture with the one supported by
mining, for instance. When ore Is
found I'm paying quantities IN any To-
Cality, the mining camp springs up. as
II by magic. 1t thriTes as long as the
ore lasts, and then disappears as sud
denly as It came. An agricultural com
munity, on the other hand, has steady
substantial growth, and the towns Of
an agricultural community, while they
rarely Doom" have nearly always
