annual agricultural products is
around $I2,000,0GO,00O, and it is
safe to estimate that 95 cents on
every dollar goes to meet the
expenses of subsidiary industries.

than thirty minutes per day for

as the manufacturer, railroad,

The Farmers Payroll and How
He Meets 1t.
The annual payroll Of agri-
culture approximates $l2,000,0O0,-
700. A portion of the amount =
shifted to foreign countries in ex-
ports, but the total payroll of in
dustrles working for the farmer
divides substantially as follows:
Railroads, $l,2520000O0; manu-
facturers, &,365, 100000; mining,
S655, 100000; banks, $2OO,00O,OO0;
mercantile, $3,500,000,000, and a
heavy miscellaneous payroll con-
StltuteS the remainder.
1t takes the corn crop, the
most valuable in agriculture,
which sold last year for $780,
100000, to pay off the employees
of the railroads; the money de

crop, valued at S020,0OO,O0O; the
wheat crop, which is worth SOLO,
100000, and the Dat crop, that
is worth $440,0O0,000, are re-
quired to meet the annual pay
roll of the manufacturers. The
