The question of planting broom
corn and peanuts will also be given
attention at this meeting and an
agreement will probably be entered

age of these products. 1t has been
proved beyond doubt that both
broomcorn and peanuts can be made
a leading commercial crop OF this
section, but heretofore a systematic
method of growing these products
has not been attempted and for that
reason the market for them has not
been satisfactory.

Value of Farm Products.

Washington, Feb. 24.-Adyance
reports of the secretary of agricul-
ture show that the total value of
farm products of the United States
in 1911 is below that of 1910. The
estimate for 1911 is based on tie
returns of the thirteenth federal
census and is $S,417,000,000 while
the total value of farm products IL
I1910 was 1864, 100000 or $277,
900, 900 more than 1911. This loss Is
accounted for by the decrease in
prices of animal products and ami
mails sold and slaughtered. Dairy
cows are the only farm animals
that show an increase in price IN
l1911 over 1910 and eggs, wool, but
ter and poultry have likewise suf-
fered in farm prices during the
year,
On the other hand, the crops of
E1911 are worth more than those of
1910. the estimate of farm value of
all crops in 1911 was $5,504, o00,-
O0o a gain over 1910 of $4,000
coo.
Farm prices of all crops are high
err in 1911 than in 1910 with the ex-
| ception of cotton, cotton seed and
| flax seed. With the exception of
these crops the farm products of the
United States are the most valuable
ever produced
