AMERICAN PRODUCTS
Are Demanded by the Farmers of
Other Parts of the World.

consumed by agriculturists of other
parts of the world. This estimate of
the demands which agriculturists of
other countries make upon the manu-
manufacturers of the United States,
while necessarily somewhat general,
seems to be quite within the limits of
fact judging from a statement Just
prepared by the Bureau OF Statistics of
Commerce and Labor, which shows the
exDortations of principal articles pro-
duced in the United States and passing
direct to the agriculturlsts of other
countries.
This list includes mowers and reap
ers, plows and ~cultivators, other agri-
cultural implements, fertilizers, binder
Irvine, barbed wire, sugar mill ma
chinery, windmills, traction engines,
harness and saddles, carriages and wag-
ons, oil cake, seeds and nursery stock,
as articles of which practically all of
the exports are for ag~riculturists. In
addition to this, it may be assumed
that a considerable percentage of the
wire other than barbed. and nails.
stoves, furniture, cutlery, pumps and
pumping machinery, sewing machines,
tobacco, and mineral oil are finally util-
lied by the agricultural sections of the
various countries to which the mer-
chandise is exported.
Agricultural implements form the
largest single item of the exports dis
tinctly intended for the use of farmers
and planters of the world, and the to-
tai exports Of this single group during
| the fiscal year which ends with June
will approximate 40 million dol
lars in value. For the ten months for
which the statistics are now available,
the total is 81 million dollars worth,
and should the figures for the two re-
naming months for which data are not
yet in hand average as much per month
as April SIS, 416, $40, the total for the
fiscal year would cross the 40 million
dollar mark. while a decade ago the
value of agricultural implements ex-
ported was but Is 1-3 million dollars.
Of the % - million dollars worth of
agricultural implements exported in the
nine months ending with March, 1911.
which by the way is an increase of 25
per cent over the corresponding months
of 1910, ten million dollars worth was
represented by and reapers and
parts of; 6 - million, plows and cult
vators and parts thereof; and prac-
tically nine million AL other agricul-
tural implements. OF this grand total
of % - million dollars worth of agri-
cultural implements exported in the 9
months ending with March, 6 - mill
ion dollars worth went to Argentina. 5

Europe, 3 l-2 million dollars worth to

to Germany, and 3-4 of a million dol
lars worth to the United Kingdom.
