 Will Become Traditional
 I Among several strange coincidences of he year 1914 is one which will be tradi- |icraI. In the last half of the year the European war was in progress. It was in his half of the year that much the great |' part of the farm products of the United Btates was harvested and a good deal of hem brought to the markets. So it has happened that at a time when Europe |vas in desperate struggle and when pro- tuction had greatly decreased in the hel- fgerent nations the United States har- rested crops which make a new record tstimated in dollars and cents The best previous record was in 1899 and the fig |lres for that year are less by little un- ] Ter $100, 900 than those for the year 1914. with a record of this kind it is no wonder that the leading men of finance in Lon bon and continental Europe look to the

The statistics of recent years suggest that the United States exports only about per cent of its products. That is to say, of the $40.000000.00o money value, of the products of the farms, of manufactures, mines and forests, about s37 000, ,O00,oo0 are absorbed in the domestic life of the United States Some of the experts think there is no better way of illustrating the magnitude of our domestic markets than by these figures and those who are of this opinion are persuaded that it is to our advantage still further to cultivate the home market and not to devote too much attention to foreign trade.

Will Maintain Surplus

of farm products, the United States is
 likely to raise food and cotton sufficient
 to meet the necessaries of life even after
 we reach a population of 150, 00o, 600, as we
 are likely to do within the next genera
 ton. We should still have a large amount
 of farm products in the form of surplus
 available for exports.
 Our manufacturers have discovered that
 they can increase their market in foreign
 lands and still maintain their domestic
 markets because the American manufac-
 turing plants on the whole are capable of
 producing large surpluses of manufac-
 tured commodities. The most serious
 outlook for industry which is dependent
 directly upon the soil is occasioned by the rapid using up of our forests. Unless
 there is conservation of the forests we
 shall by and by be compelled to rely chiefly upon Canada for forest commod'- 1 ties. But there can be no depreciation of our agricultural products in amount and in quality unless our farmers become careless, and there never was a time when manufacturing energy and eff ciency were as great as they are today How great that efficiency is is illustrated by a remark recently made by one of the great intellectual forces in American business life who said that to such high degree of efficiency has much of Amer ican manufacturing been brought that you could do no more than pass sheet of paper between the cost of production and the returns received for marketing the products. He used that term alle- gorically, meaning that it is upon very large sales that our manufacturers rely
 for reasonable return upon their invest rent. these sales being made at prices 1 which are slightly above the cost of pro- | duction.
