WILSON IS HOPEFUL
Secretary of Agriculture Declares Pros
poets are Good.


Washington-''A About the only
trouble that I know of in this con-
nection is that Wall street is unable
to sell stocks, said James Wilson,
secretary Of agriculture recently.
when asked if danger of crop failure
threatened the United States.
For this season of the year, the
general crop prospect is good. There
is no reason from present indications
for fear of crop failure and higher
prices for good products in con-
sequence. We have had long dry
periods before this year with no fail
ure Of crops. 1t is too early to tell
how large or how small the crops will
be, but there is no cause for alarm.
In some localities the crops have
been damaged by the hot weather,
but throughout the country the con-
ditions are good for this time of the
year.
Our official reports on conditions
of wheat. cotton and other crops in
dictate that when these reports were
made there was no trouble ahead for
the country. =

All Of these disagreeable and dan

Increast in Farm Values.
In striking contrast with tire slow
growth and the number and acreage
of farms and the area of improved
land during the 10 wears is TIE en-
ormous rise which has occurred in
the value of farm property. Farm
land, exclusive of buildings. which
was valued at $13.05S.00S.000 In
1900. had more than doubled before
1918, being then returned as having
d value of $2S, 1886. 10000. The en-
ormous increase here recorded of
SO, 32S, 10000 represents au adj
vance of 111.4 per cent In the value
of all land In farms.
1t is Immediately evident that the
relatively small increase in the
total acreage of farm land. Al per
cent. was one OF the least important
of the factors causing the great in
crease in aggregate value. The aver
age value Of farm land per acre in
creased from 1857 in 1900 to $50 40
in 1910. a gain of 1862 per acre, or
1857 per cent.
OF the factors contributing to this
increase In the average value of land
the most important is doubtless that
of advancing farm prices of agricuI-
tural products. This has increased
the ineome-producing power of the
farm and eorrespondingly Influenced
the selling price or value of farm
land. tits probable also that in
calculating the value Of farm lands
it has become customary to capita
lie the ineome-produc.ng power at

"a lower rate of interest than form

the fact that interest rates in gen.
eral have probably not fallen, be-
cause of the reduction in the risk or
the farming business.
Another important factor opera
tive in increasing the total AID
average value of farm land through
out the United States has been the
cost of improving what was pre-
viously unimproved land, including
the expenditures for the irritation Of

and constructing surface drains for

stumps, clearing away brush, break

the farmers expended much labor
