Among the Fifty Reasons why

Richer in 1915" the following are
grouped under the head of ''Agri-
culture" by the writer, b. Z,
Forbes, financial editor OF the
Hearst newspapers:
"Amerlcan farmers, very tardi.

value of crop rotation
tThe South has increased its
Winter WHEAT acreage 90 per cent
and corn average promises TO be
similarity extended.
GA proper system of credit for
our farmers is 10 be established,
probably before 1915 ends. This
is a consldera iOn of great impor-

"Heavy immigration from rural

throughout the country.
"Our total farm products in
1914 are estimated by the govern
ment at almost $40, 900, 100000 in
value, figure never before at

High prices for all food pro
ducts will enrich our farmers dur
ing 1915.
"Prosperlty is enabling farmers
to buy more labor-savlng machln' .
~, purchase better grades of
breeding cattle and improve tnelE
homes, thus making their daily
life more comfortable.

of any general failure of crops
