FARMS IN OTHER LANDS.

Interesting comparisons are made with
official estimates in other countries of the
value of products produced by the farms
IN those countries. An estimate of S1.35l, =
$4,000 is quoted for Italy of 1913, 1000 coo
Tor JAPAN of ASi,O000O0 for Australia,
and of s900,000O00 for Canada.
with value more than twice that of
the cotton crop this year and little less
than the combined values of the cotton
wheat and oat crops, corn Is by far the
leading crop as a wealth producer The
estimate of 2,776. 100000 bushels indicates
a production that has been exceeded in
only two years. The farm price of corn
is now higher than II has been since the
records of the department began in 1865.
except in 1883, and this establishes a total
value for the crop that reaches 81, 700 900. :
CO.. and breaks the record
So pre-emnently IS corn the leading
crop of this country that about three
fourths of the worlds crop is grown here
But the exports of corn constitute one
third of the worlds exports Of corn.
That a large crop may be worth less TO
the producers than small one is exem-
plihed by the cotton crop of this year
Commonly supposed to be the largest ono
every grown. this crop has reached a
price that is five cents "A pound of lint
below that of last year. when the crop
was much less in quantity, and for the
same reason the price of seed has de-
clined. Apparently the value of the fibre
and seed of this years crop will not ex-
coed $4,000 0oo-an amount that is below
that Of two former crops. although above
the average of the preceding five years
