FARMERS MATERIALS.

The agricultural interests of for.
eign countries buy nearly 100000
900 worth of American manufactures
and other products for use in cult
waiting the soil, while about $4,000.
900 worth of foreign products are an
nually imported into the United
States for use upon American farms.
OF the exports from the United
States of articules required in farm
ing, by far the larger portion are com.
posed of manufactures, such as agri.
cultural implements, binding twine,
barbed wire, and oil cake; while
phosphate rock, to be ground up and
used as a fertilizer, and clover, tim
othey and other grass seeds are
among the articles exported in the
natural state.
Taking up the principal exports OF
the class under discussion, agricul.
tural implements head the list, with
a probable total OF S4O,O00,0O0 in the
year about to end, comprised of near
ly $2O,O00,0O0 worth of mowers and
reapers, sS,O00,OO0 worth of plows
and cultivators, s2,50O,OOO worth OF
chreshers, and the remainder miscel.
laneous farming tools and nipple
ments. These agricultural nipple.
ments are exported to practically all
parts of the world where man has
adopted modern methods of cultiva-
ting the soil.
Binding twine is another article of
| importance in wheat-growing cOun'
tries. or that article the years ex-

goes chiefly to Canada, Australia, Ar.

articles, there are others largely if
not exclusively required by farmers,
such as wind mills, with exports near
ing S2,O00,000 per annum; and clover
and other grass seeds, over 1900, 900.
On the other hand, American farm
ers draw upon other countries for
certain of their requirements, most OF
the imports, however, being articles
in their natural state. The largest
item shown in the ports of last year
were fertilizers, including nitrate Of
