BANNER CROP VALUES.

Despite the drouth that hit many
of the farmers in the central western
section of the country so hard, this
has really been a banner year for the
aericulturists of the nation. taken
as whole. Although the total guam
tity of agricultural products is as
much as % per cent. less than was the
case in 1912, the gross revenue for
the farmers will be fully per cent
more than last year. This estimate is
made in a bulletin that has just been
issued by the Orange Judd company,
the publisher of a number of agricul-
tural journals. According to this bull
letin the total value of the agricul-
tural products of this year will be APP
proximately $1,000, 100000, or an IN
crease of S269,OOO,000 over the figure
for last year.
This rather extraordinary and al
most anomalous condition is due to
the high prices prevailing per unit
for several of the big cereal crops,
For example, corn will show a total
volume of 20 per cent less than the
volume of 1912. But with an in
creased value of AZ per cent. over last
year, it will produce for the farmers,
who were lucky enough to raise any,
500, 100000 more than a year ago.
The wealth the farmers will re-
ceive for their decreased tonnage,
says this Orange Judd company bull
letin, ''also has these two decided ad-
vantages. Less labor and expense will
be required for harvesting and mar
keting the crops this year, at a time
when farm help is scarce and high.
only the decrease of about $4,000
tons in the weight of these staples will
enable American railways to move the
crops of 1913 without a veritabJe
breakdown of the transportation sys-
tenn, in view of the heavy tonnage OF
other freight and of passenger traf-
fc caused by the resumption of good
times.
