come was due only in part Of the
quick increase of population 1t was
due also to greater individual pros
perity. Helferich shows that in IS
years the income of the average Ger
man rose by 80 per cent.
A Germans average income, count
ing men, women and children, is $3.50.
This is a large sum for Europe. In
France, which counts as a rich coun-
try, the average income is only S12S.
England is still ahead of Germany in
average individual income, but Ger
manys' much bigger population leaves
England as well as France, behind in
total income.
Against Germany's total of $10,-
000,000,000 stands a French national
income of $8,750,000,0 and an Eng
lish national income of about the same
amount This comparison shows Ger
many with an income of 81 100000, 900
more than her chief rivals, and if she
liked to pinch her population she
could spend every year an extra
S1,250,000 on ornaments without re-
ducing herself to penury.
In total capital wealth Germany's
superiority is still more marked. Ger
many owes this altogether to her big
ger population. In per capita wealth
she is still behind France and there
fore behind England. France, after
all her trials, remains the European
state i'm which the individual has the
largest accumulated wealth, Helffe-
rich, after sitting the best authorities
of the three countries, puts the indi-
vidual's capital wealth, counting money
investments and real and personal
property, at: France, $1480; England,
S1275 to $1450; Germany, Slips to
$l225. But as Germany has a popu-,
lation which is about 20,000,000
stronger than Great Britain's and
about 26,000,000 stronger than
Frances her total national wealth ex-
ceeds theirs. Helffrich'5 estimate,
which takes as correct the calculations
of the best French and English
works out as follows:
Germany-Between S72,500,0 900, 900
$50, 900 100000.
ngland-Between S57, 800, 100000
and sos 000,000,O00.
France-$33 00000,000.
Germany is worth between $1,000
100000 and $22, 800, 100000 more than
England and between $14,500 100000
and $4,000, 900 more than France.

Crimson Clover And Hairy
VetCh Seed Prices

Washington, ID. C.-Prices for inn
ported crimson clover and hairy vetch
seed have recently shown such a
marked upward tendency that special
lists of the department of agriculture
fear that the cost of these seeds, of
which Europe is the chief source, will
interfere with the increasing use of
these leguminous cover crops. In
fact, it is feared that the prices of the
seed of these legumes may go so high
as to make it inadvisable to plant
them this year.
Before the present European condi-
tons arose, crimson clover seed was
selling at from 81 to So per bushel.
Up to August Is there was a scarcity
of this seed in the United States, ow-
ing to the fact that the receipts from
Europe were smaller than usual. The
prices then advanced to from $3.50 to
SO per bushel Since that date impor-
tations have continued to arrive, until
there is now more imported seed
available for fall seeding than there
was in this country a year ago at
this time. This seed, according to the
departments information, was all i'm
ported at approximately the same
price as that sold for $4 to $3.50 per
bushel in the early part of the season.
The present high price, therefore, is
regarded by the department as unwar-
ranted from the standpoint of the sup
ply and the import price of the seed.
Some dealers are continuing to sell at
the former price, but these are ex-
ceptions.
