1T seems to be overlooked" the re-

producing enormous SURPRISES for ex-
port to foreign countries. Prices are
high in other countries as well as in

sumers would be any lower says the
report. Retail prices are promptly
raised on a prospect of ucderproduc-
ton, buI are very slow to decline in
there is overproduction.
The numerous distributors and
middlemen between the farmer and
the consumer are in position TO take
advantage of the market, and TO GER
tain extent control the market in both
directions, because they are better or
ganized to keep informed of crop and
market conditions and to act promptly
than either farmers or consumer, who
are not organized and as individuals
are helpless.
The high prices paid by consumers,
ranging from to nearly 500 per cent
more than the farmer receives, indi-
cate that there is plenty of room for
ering the cost OF farm products to
consumers and at the same time large
ly increasing the cash income per
farm without increasing farm produc-
ton.
This condition is undoubtedly
marketing problem which will have to
be solved by better organization OF
farmers and improved methods Of
marketing. When the price Of farm
products can be maintained at
higher level without increasing the
cost TO consumers, farmers will be
justified in increasing the output of
their farms, with a fair prospect Of
realizing reasonable profit on their
investment of time, labor and money,
which in the aggregate is enormous.
The common phenomenon OF rec
ord yield and crop value below the
record, and Of record crop value with
low production, is presented by more
than half dozen of the crops Of 1913.

Year for Farmer.

Washington, Dec. 30.-Ten billion

900 of cash income-a bumper year in
spite of droughts and other setbacks-
Is the 1913 record of 100000 Ameri-
can farms The value of the 1913
crops is twice as great as that of 1899;
more than S1.OOO.0OO. 900 in excess of
1903 and substantially greater than in
1912, although the quantity of produc-
ton has fallen. Fourteen principal
crops average about 2O.2 per cent
higher in price than year ago, and
40 per cent higher than two years ago.
Their totaal values average about 3.8
per cent higher than a year ago, and
10 per cent higher than in 1911.
OF ali the crops, il is estimated that
81 per cent will remain on farms
where they we're produced. and that 20
per cent of the animal production will
remain. On that basis the cash in
come is estimated by the department
of agriculture at S5,S47 900, 900, in a
discussion of the subject made public
yesterday.
But despite a record year OF crop
values and the fact that the number
of farms has increased II per cent
