UNCLE SANS FARM.

Year after year Mr.. Wilson, secretary
of agriculture, has been recording IAN
other most prosperous year. The fiscal
year 1910 has proved no exception. A
twelve month ago we spoke of a total
crop valued at eight billion dollars and
over; this year we speak of a crop of
almost nine billions. Moreover. the value
of farm products from 1899 to the present
year has been progressive without inter-
ruption. OF our cereal crops, corn is chief
both in value and quantity; aside from
the normal increase the years distinctive
feature is the emphasis on the South's
growing Importance in producing corn;
decade ago the South produced hardly
more than a fifth of the national crop;
now it produces a third. The South's
agricultural fortune has been advanced
during the year because, in lint and seed,
the cotton crop is no less than 10 per
cent above the average of the last five
years. After cotton, the next crop In
value is hay. Then come in order wheat,
| oats and potatoes. The prevailing high
| prices deservedly receive attention in Mr.
| Wilson'S report and we would call atten-
| ton to his conclusions. OF course the
farmer receives various percentages Of
the prices paid by the consumer for farm
| products In milk, for example, the re-
| ports from many cities where conditions
| have been investigated by the department
| show that the farmer receives about half
! the price paid by the consumer, and that
for transportation the railways receive
| about per cent. The retailer absorbs
the remaining AZ per cent In case Of
poultry the farmers proportion Is about
| the same, but with eggs and other COM
modities the proportion is higher. Mr..
| Wilson'S conclusion from all the investi-
| cations is that the consumer in protest
! ing against the high prices, has really no
we'll grounded complaint against the
farmer. Consumers want lower prices
Why, then, queries the secretary, do they
not save the dealers profit and buy di-
rectly from the farmers? There are many
farmers cooperative selling associations
but as he says, there are few co-opera'
tive buying associations among the peo-
pie Of our cities and towns; indeed, aside
from the buying associations maintained
by farmers hardly any exist in this coun
| try The consumer thus has something
to do in working out his own economic
salvation. AS Mr. Wilson points out, las
spring in some places where there had beer
! overproduction, potatoes were selling 10
20 cents a bushel, and in some places ever
for cents a bushel at the farm. At tn
same time city consumers in the Eas
were paying from 80 to 10 cents bushel
though nothing prevented them from
; combining to buy carload or more o
potatoes directly from the grower an
for delivery directly to themselves.-tTh

Lower Prices Coming.

A gradual lowering of prices seems to
be in sight For the first time since 1899
the gold output showed a falling off. The
decrease from 1909 was about $3,0Oo,O 600,
but it may nevertheless be properly
deemed economically significant. In 16
years, from 1898 to 1910 the output of the
worlds gold literally grew by leaps and
bounds. In 1909 it reached the enormous
aggregate of $454 200, 900 or more than
five times the record of 1898. Now econ
omists maintain that the existing fields
have reached their capacity and as new
ones are not apt to be located, we may
witness a decline of commodity prices. 1t
may be hazardous to predict the limlta =
ton of gold production, but the steadi-
ness with which all around the world,
commodity prices have kept upward with
the growing volume of the precious
metal, has been more coincidence, II
has been evidence of cause and effect
| The economists are therefore on safer
ground, when 1t comes to forecasting.

Previous to 1902 Mr.. Cabot was treas
urer of the Vermont Savings bank 20
years and the public generally has iden-
titled him with that position, but he had
an interesting career before becoming
connected with the bank, with which
comparatively few persons are familiar.
Mr. Cabot was born in Hartand jan
uarY 20, 1921 and is a descendant of
George Cabot, who emigrated from the
island of Jersey to New England about
the year 1870 and became the ancestor
Of the Connecticut river Cabots. The
family is of Norman origin. At the age
of nine he went to Springfield, this state,
where he worked year on a farm.
Later he attended school in Woodstock
and in 1885, when 10 years old, he went
To Elberton, Ca, to work for a mercan-
tile firm. The first year he rode 1000
miles on horseback through the gulf
states, and the firm said he was the best
clerk they ever employed,
In 1899 he went 10 Wetumpka Ala,
where he was in the mercantile business
for himself II years, under several part
nerships, with the exception of a year
which he spent in California. In 1874
Francis w. Brooks, of the Brooks family
of Medford Mass, Chesterfield. n. H.,
and Bratteboro settled in Alabama, and
he ana Mr.. Cabot entered into business
Ielatio rs, which was the beginning of
Mr.. Cabot's long connection with the
Brooks family. The firm dissolved III
1850, and Mr.. Cabot and George J. Brooks
started the next year for California,
crossing the isthmus of Panama on foot
Mr. Cabot spent year in rough mining
and camping in California and then re-
turned to Wetumpka. His marriage to
Lucy T. Brooks took place December 49,,
1853. She was a daughter of William S.
Brooks a retired sea captain Mr.,
Cabot's business went through fire and
flood in Alabama, but he started afresh
with characteristic cheerfulness and de-
termination.
On account of the need of a change
in climate, he returned to Vermont ir
1857 and settled in Brattleboro, building
his present residence at Terrace street
In 1862 he became manager of a whole
sale paper house for his three brothers
in-law in San Francisco. The house wa!
the largest of its kind on the Pacific
coast and had trade as far west as thu
Sandwich islands. Mr.. Cabot returned Il
Brattleboro in 1865, and in the fall o
1872 he became treasurer of the Vernon
savings bank, the oldest savings bank L
the state, resigning that position Januar
/, 1902. During those 80 years he too

carneeie's Substitute for National Hymn.

Andrew Carnegie has not only given
SIC, 900, 900 to advance the interests OF
peace but he has also suggested a sub
stitute for our national hymn which is
also designed to work for closer Citations
of friendliness between the two greai
representatives of the English speaking
people. When we sing America" anc
our brothers across the waters sing Goo
Save the King" Mr. Carnegie would sub
stitute these words:
Two empires by the sea,
Two nations great and free,
One anthem raise,
One race of ancient fame,
One tongue, one faith, we claim.
One God, whose glorious name
We love and praise.
Now may the God above
Guard the dear lands we love,
Both East and West
Let love more ferVent glow,
AS peaceful ages go,
And strength yet stronger grow,
Blessing and blest.
