not affected by such changes. The cen sus shows that we had in 1900 something like 5,700,0G0 farms, and that Just taken shows that we now have 6O00O0 and the increase is little more than 10 per cent. The figures also show that the size of the farms is decreasing. The average holding of 1900 was 146 acres, whereas the average farm of today contains only 13S acres. This is affected somewhat by the market gar dens about the cities, where the holdings are very small. They are increasing Tn number, and they cut down the average size of the farm.
 Use More Machines
 Notwithstanding the rush to the cities and the difficulty of getting farm labor the crops are as great or greater than ever before, and they are bringing more money. The increase in the quantity of food produced, notwithstanding the loss of the labor, comes from the greater use of farm machinery. This is increasing enor- mously. Sixty-eght per cent more farm tools were employed in 1910 than in 1900, and that notwithstanding the increase in the number of farms was only 10 per cent The value of the additional machinery was more than half billion dollars. The pumped from s7O0,0C0,oO0 to $1,2O0, ,0O0, ,0OO within the past decade.
 Increase in Farm Values
 The census shows that the value of the farms per acre has greatly increased, and this, strange to say, Is largely the case in those states from where there has been most emigration to the city. It is so in Illinois. Indiana and Iowa., states which
The Birmingham age-herald., 1911-11-26

Do you wonder that the farmers are at tracted by them? The wages of the fac- tories are paid without regard to whether it rains or shines and they exceed in value the wages paid upon the farms. The in- creased cost of living is not taken into account until after the man has become settled in the city. And so the rush goes on. The increase in the number of fac tory employees over 1900 is already more than million, and we have now working in manufacturing establishments between six and seven million men and women. This is an increase of 40 per cent over the number employed ten years ago.
 Our Prosperous Farmers
 Nevertheless. farming is paying better than it has ever paid and, strange to say notwithstanding this loss of labor, the crops seem to be as large or larger than ever before. Our biggest crops of all time were in 19l0 MT. Durand rightly says, however, that the census figures of crops cannot be relied upon as indicative of the exact growth of our agricultural empire, for the reason that each census repre- sents but one year. For instance the census of 1910 shows the crops of the year in which the census enumerator col lected the material and that only. If it be a fat year the figures will be very large, but on the other hand, if a lean one, they may be considerably smaller. The census of 1900 might have recorded a year which had bumper crops, and that of 1910 one when famine was abroad in the land. Nevertheless such figures are approxi- mately correct.
 AS to the number of farms, these are
The Birmingham age-herald., 1911-11-26

smaller cities have grown as well as the larger ones, and the rush seems to be going on all over the union. This is so notwithstanding the popularity which farming seems to be having, and to the increased profits which are coming there from.
 Uncle Sam, Manufacturer
 We are, in fact, rapidly changing from an agricultural nation to q manufacturihg one. This is shown by the figures whlcn the census employees are now tabulatlng. Our industrial growth is such that cen sus of such matters is taken every hve years, and it would, perhaps, pay 10 take it oftener Within the five years rom 1904 to 1900 the increase in the capital em- pIoyed by our factories was 45 per cent and the cost of the materials used 43 per cent.
 The salaries and wages paid for manu- featuring now amounts to more than TOUT thousand million dollars a year. sum which, if it could be divided, would be enough to give more than $2OO to every family in the United States.
 Our manufactures sell for something like twenty billion dollars per annum, which would equal 5000 per family. and this means an increase in such sales of six billion dollars within five years. The in- crease has been S1 per cent in ten years and 40 per cent in five. Tt represents growth in manufacturing of more than a thousand million dollars year for the past five years. These figures are impos- sible to comprehend, but they indicate something of the progress of this great billion dollar nation.
