The Defeat of u. S. Agriculture >, . PRsERa'

Kapital" K Marx. III VOL II part,
page 1903
This is true for the present crisis
of agriculture OF the United States
too, but only for the years after the
wartime boom.
Turing the first is years Of the
- decline of U. S. agriculture on the
worlds market some very essential
features of the European crisis were
absent here Instead of Oppressive
prices we had here just the contrary.
This was a time Of growing prices Of
agricultural products and of growing
costs of living. The best blessings
Europe had from her agricultural
crisis were the decreased land rents
and subsequent absolute and relative
of economic power and in
.fiuence Of the most reactionary class
of landowners. Here was nothing of
that kind: land values" we're rising
here at tremendous speed.
THE indexes Of land values" as pub
] Iished by the U. S. Department of
Agriculture ("Yearbook 1920" page
825), show that from 1899 to 1914
these ''valnes" increased 21k times
(147 per cent?.
The start Of agricultural crisis in
the United States had specific forms
and expressions. Unusual growth of
LAND values" is the most character
istic and fundamental economic factor
in the troubles during these years.
FINAL disappearance Of suitable
free lands" about the end of last
century made the rapid rise of land

only after many years of increased
agricultural production. But we have
to deal not with possibilities under
unexisting circumstances, but with
realities of present society. This reali-
ty shows fierce competition on every
market Of agricultural products. In
this competition food products of u.
S. agriculture are failing to find pur-
chasers not only to the extent Of de-
crease Of purchasing power Of masses
of people here and in other countries,
but from the decreased markets, big
ger parts than before are taken by
agricultural products of other coun-
tries.
TO foreign wheat markets, United
States supplied from July, 1922, to
January 1923, about 162, 100000 mil
lion bushels. but from July, 1923, to
January, 1924, only Ill 100000 million
bushels. But during this same time
when wheat exports from United
States decreased by over 100000
bushels, Canada increased wheat ex-
ports by over 20,00O,0OO bushels. Brit
ish India and Australia more than
doubled their exports. Wheat from
Russia appeared On many European
markets On the domestic market Of
United States. disregarding high i'm
port tariff duties and great surplus
of this product, imports of wheat in
creased during this period by about
three million bushels.
THESE facts show that agriculture

ent in a similar position as was agri-

values" possible. But this fact alone
does not explain anything about dyna-
mical forces which brought this rise
into existence.
NNIE CAN find many parallels in
wv history when similar sudden in
creases of "land values" occurred. In
every country where that happened in
large extent there was class of large
landowners whose united efforts on
the base Of their centralized land mo-
nopoly, as in Ireland from about 1910
to 1869, were necessary for creation
of such rise.
DIG landholders were operating
ID here, too. Once Tin 1900 the
United States census bureau made an
Investigation about ownership of all
tenant farms. This investigation dis
CLOSED that "s1 per cent of the own
ers of rented farms have holdings
representing 43y8 per cent OF the ag-
gregate value Of such land, thus show
ing a large relative concentration not
only of values, but also of acreage in
the hands of comparatively few indi-
viduals." ("Twelfth Census Of u. S.
1900. Agriculture" Vol. v. Page
XCIII)

widespread permanent agricultural
crisis. Present agricultural crisis in
United States appears similar to that
European crisis not only in its ex-
spressions on market, but even in its
reflections on mental processes Of the
scientists" In Europe, some so to
go years ago the theory" of Nautilus
that increase of population is limited
by means of existence, was suddenly
taken out from its wide circulation
and substituted by an "Agrarierjam-
mer," which tried to convince that not
only agriculture, but all the society
in Europe must go down if the i'm
mense supplies. of food will not be
kept away from the people by violent
means. This same at present here
'sfarsighted" discussions about "natur-
al limits of food supplies" are silenced
by cries for limitation Of agricultural
production, restrictions of imports,
subsidies for exports.

~ INCE the beginning Of this cen
fury agriculture Of the United
States was in period Of decline
on worlds market, except only the
years of war when its domination was
there secured by temporary violent
exclusion of some of its important
competitors. This decline is expressed
in the foreign trade Of foodstuffs.
TIP to the year 1900 growth Of ex-
~ ports Of foodstuffs (crude and
manufactured from the United States
was on the increase. 'fValue" of these
exports grew from 266 million dollars
in average in 1S75-1S79 to 519 million
dollars in average in 190O-1904. Dur
ing all this time exports Of foodstuffs
constituted about "A per cent cent of
total values" Of domestic exports.
CONTRARY movement was started
~ here from the first year Of this
century. The exports of foodstuffs
started now to decrease absolutely
and still more relatively in the total
values" of exports. During the first
Is years of this century they showed
the following changes:
