manufacturing establishments. rail-

In 1919 is conservatively estimated AT
more than $51,O00,0 100000.
With the increase IN the value of
farm property there has come re-
markable growth in the value OF the
farm output. In 1879 this output was
valued at S1,500,0000o0. BY 1917 1t

$4,000 100000. While 10 per cent OF

Influences are at work to reduce these
Interest rates. Modern bankers, see-
Ing the Importance OF farming, have
made more liberal loans, have shown
the farmer how to finance his purchase
and sales more economically, and, In
general, have come TO better under
standing with the farmer. The Farm
Loan Act and the formation of farm
loan associations under 1t have made
for better borrowing conditions and
thus have speeded the process of
getting out of debt
1t has been estimated that a reduc-
ton of interest rates on farm loans to
an average of five per cent would
mean net saving Of more than $780,
100000 on interest charges to the farm
ers OF this country. But more IS In
yolved In improved farm financing than
the mere saving in interest charges.
Thousands OF farms should have more
and better stock and equipment. Thou
sands of acres can be made more
productive by drainage or Irrigation.
The farm income Is steadily being
increased by the more efficient mar
keting of farm crops and the more ad-
yantugeous purchase OF farm supplies.

drift Of population toward the cities.
Two main currents of development
have arisen from this phenomenon.
In the first place, 1t has brought TO

now used by many lines of farmers.
Several Of the great organizations OF
farmers have been instrumental In or
ganizing large number Of local mar
keting and buying organizations OF
farmers. In the aggregate the number
of farmers cooperative marketing "a.

Quite the most important means.
however. Is the increased use of me-
chanical equipment on the farm. The
use Of motor-driven machinery and ve-
hicles has enabled the farmer to save
uncalculated amounts Of time, energy
and charges for maintenance. The
telephone and the electrical plant have
given the farmer advantages In produc-
ton comparable with those derived by
other Industries.
AS these mechanical contrivances
have reduced the size Of the farm and
saved labor, they have made possible
the extension OF area Of cultivation.
The overhead charges are usually
greater on smaller farm. The
tendency, therefore, is toward the larg-
er farm. There are about l,loU,OOO
farms Of more than IT'S acres In this
country.
The trend of population toward the
city has had reheyive effect upoa
those who remain on the farms. They
have not only sought 10 obtain for
themselves the things which make liv-
ing in the city attractive. but have al
so assumed a different attitude toward
the country. They have become less
Isolated.
Among the things the modern farm.
Ter has learned is the value Of keep
ing accounts. Day-to-day and week.
| to-week records have contributed to
greater efficiency. During the war
many farmers paid OFF their debts
and Accumulated money 1t Is q fact
| familiar to many bankers that farmers
who had always been credit borrowers
before the war now have comfortable
bank balances.
The result Is that the farmer Is now
able to make the farm pay him q larger
net income. The basic economic
forces affecting agriculture seem to as
sure the maintenance Of relatively high
prices for farm products and the main
tenance Of a larger margin OF pront In
farming.
Governmental agencies - national,
state and local--are doing a vast
amount to promote progress in agri-
culture Agricultural colleges every
where are the backbone Of agricultural
progress. The aggregate amount voted
to support the agricultural colleges In
1917 was nearly four times what II was
In 1904. Even more important. ex-
perts are now employed to take the
improved methods In agriculture work
ed out by the State Cole 5 Of AgrI-t
culture and the United ST. IS Depart
ment OF Agriculture to the farmer.
A study OF all the farm homes In
one township in Iowa was made by
the Iowa Agricultural College. Half
Of all the farm homes In this township
had furnaces, while the proportion
having water. baths and electric or
gus lights was somewhat less. Nearly
half Of the homes had such labor-sav-
| Ing conveniences as vacuum cleaners,
power washers and electric irons
Nearly all these homes had telephones,
more than half had pianos. and aboun
half Of them had automobiles.
