OF THE 1916 CROP

~ Y far the largest gross val
~ ue of farm production in
the country was reached
in 1916, according to estimates
made by the Department of
Agriculture. The total of
crops and animal products
was $13, 3,449, 100000, an in
crease of So, 100000 over
the total of 1915. which was
itself a high-water mark. The
mere increase is greater than
the census gross value of farm
production in 1889, and is
nearly as large as the census
crop value in 1899. The in
crease of 1916 over 1914 was
So, ,554, 100000. The gross
value of farm production is the
total of crops and animal pro-
ducts, and takes no account of
the use of a product as a ma
terial for other production;
nor are any costs of production
subtracted. Consequently, the
value of gross production
should be regarded as an in
dex number, and not as so
many net dollars put into the
farmers pocket.
The value of the net product
of wealth on farms has never
been determined, and can not
now be estimated. The items
for the estimated years are ex-
pressed in gross value and are
made to conform to the census
plan so as to be comparable
with those for the census
years.
If the gross value of the |
census farm production Of
1899 is represented by 100, the
value for 1879 was 46.9; for
1889. 52.2; for 1909, 1914; |
for 1914. 2O9.8; for 1915,
228.4; and for 1916, 285.1.
In the subdivision of the
value. of gross production into
its two main elements, crops
and animal products, it ap-
rears that the tCtal esf''l''ied
cron value in 1916 was S9.111,-
900 600, an ar 0unt greater
than the sum of the estimated
of crops and animal
products for any year previous
to 1912, greater than the total
estimated crop value of 1915
by 50, ,204,OOO,000, and of 1914
by $2,999,OO0.0O0.
The total estimated value of
animal products in 1916 was
81, 1888, 100000, or more than
1ouble the value of 1904, /!
which was the highest amount
% that time. 1t was greater |:
han the estimated value of (
animal products in 1915 by
S47O, 900, 900 and of 1914 by {
S555, 100000.
Compared with the value of
iarm crops in 1899, represent
I'd by 100, the crop value for
1909 was 1880; for 1914,
203.9; for 1915, 23O.3s and for
1916, 303.8. A similar com
Darison for animal products
results in a percentage of E
1857 for 1909; 220.2 for
1914; 225.1 for 1915, and E
252.5 for 1916.
The crop value of 1916 in
;reased over that of 1899 by
,O3.S per cent; of 1909, by
IS per cent; Of 1914, by 49
ler cent; and of 1875, by 31.9
Der cent. The value of animal
products increased in 1916
,ver 1899 by 1875 per cent;
'ver 1909 by Alb per cent;

CORNER IN POTATO
 MARKET SUSPECTED
Brokers Offering $2 Per Bushel
 for Future Delivery

New Haven, May 24.-Large pro- duoers Of potatoes about this city and the suburban sections have, it is un- derstood upon excellent k,authority been approached by potato "brokers'' who have offered them $2 bushel for all tho saleable potatoes which they pro- dOOe from this sprinS,A crop of soed- linSs. sInasmuch as $1 bushel is oeasldered g very fair prics and one ooaerally acceptable to farmers they 1ool upon tl1As 100 per cent guaran- tee to them for their product as a de- ct0ed attempt to corner> the potato market, which they must believe will be full this fall with all the pota toes which Amateur and professional gar- Aoners arc planting.
 The brokers have canvassed this oecton. 1t is reported, and conducted their negotiations up into Middlesex county. where they are said to have had good success. Naturally none of tho small producers have been ap- preached with profter to sell at this Aigh price. for their product would not be large enough to make sales worth while. if an attempt to corner the market was made. In many cases. 1t is understood, the agents have even advanced the money for seedlings and have done everything possible to bind tArmers to 8 contract. which would gave them twice as much for their products as they can get in normal times. Several gardeners in Branford were asked to make this deal with the potato men. The negotiations have been conducted rather secretly so that those who have guaranteed their next years crop are not shouting tho fact from the housetops. and the brokers are not openly advertising their method of dealing.
