The Farmer in the Saddle

The American farmer, the hard
working, ill-paid American farmer,
has at last come into his own, and
this American farmer has just COM
pleted the most prosperous business
year in history.
This is the statement of the United
States Department of Agriculture,
and those in touch with the agricul-
tural situation will readily agree
moreover, the farmer, himself, is will
ing to concede that fact. The aggre-
gate of crops, animals and animal
products raised and prepared for mar
ket last year brought $24,982,00O,-
600. The figures are staggering, and
they work out at about $4,000 for
everyone of our 100000 farmers.
The farmer deserves this success,
and no one will begrudge him his
showing. 1t is to be hoped it may
continue to make the same satisfac-
tory advancement during the present
year. One case is known where a
small trucker made $4,000 off his
lettuce alone. But he had to work
for it. For years this trucker had
plodded along; it had been hard
scratching, but gradually he forged to
the front. He worked intelligently
He put in complete system of ir-
rigation; he studied and he worked
Up early and to bed late. Taking
advantage of the latest improvements
that his capital would permit him to
install, he gradually was able to grow
the hardest heads of lettuce at the
season when the NewY ork market was
willing to pay top-notch prices for
it. He used business as we'll as agri-
cultural judgement, and now he is
making money.
This is only one case, and the case
of a small trucker, but it may be
multiplied by the thousand. The
American farmer has come into his
own, and no one will begrudge him
his well-deserved success.
The wheat farmer, the corn farmer
the potato grower, the orchardist, are
all enjoying unprecedented prosper,
ity. The cotton farmer is enjoying
the greatest of prosperity that he has
ever known, and the prospects are
bright for good high price for cot.

south's increase in the production of
corn, wheat and oats was 335, 100000
bushels, it was shown, which more
than overcame the decrease shown by
other sections of the country. This
decrease, however, amounted to 1885,
100000 bushels.
The value Of all southern crops last
year was $7,022,OOO,OO0 compared
with $8,768, 100000 for the rest of
the country. Thus the south produ-
ced "A per cent of the country's en-
tire crop values. It is striking fact,
showing the diversity of southern
farming, that the value of the cotton
crop, seed included, was little more
than $2,300,O0O,OOO, leaving nearly
$5,000,000,000 as the value of other
crops.
The estimated southern output of
livestock is estimated at $4,000, OOO,-
600 making the total of all farm pro-
ducts $10,000,00O,0OO. This is $780,
100000 more than the value of all
farm products in the United States
as late as 1915, which was the best
year up to that time, and little less
than one-half of the value of the en-.
tire country's farm proucts in 1918.

Our "Sweet Tooth"

Most of the other nations would be
puzzled by what Americans have
called a sugar famine Most of
them would not find anything very
critical in the recent shortage in this
country. Italy, which uses habitually
only one-tenth as much sugar per
capita as the United States, would
regard our supply as luxurious ex-
cess. So would France.
Our sugar consumption is not only
lavish compared with the rest of the
present-day world, but also compared
with our own past record. Even in
years of war scarity we have used
over 80 pounds of sugar per capita.
In 1880 we used less than 40 pounds.
In pioneer days there was very little
sugar. For thousands of years civ
ilized men got along very we'll with
out it, consuming no sugar except
what he obtained naturally from
sweet fruits and vegetables and other
foodstuff.
Most people nowadays seem toima-
CINE that sugar is an imperatively
necessary food. 1t is so only because
they have formed the sugar habit.
Sugar is an excellent food, when not
abused, and there is no good reason,
generally speaking, why people should
not have all they want. But they
could get along without it, if they
had to, just as their ancestors did
for countless OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
