ment has not been reflected in ex-
ports OF American farm products be-
cause of the barriers to international
trade which have been erected during
the past decade and because of small
domestic supplies of some farm pro-
ducts which usually are exported.
Recent developments in connec-
ton with trade agreements and the
indirect effects of devaluation and
tentative sterilization of foreign cur
rencies, however, may mark a turn
ing point in the application of restric-
lions to international trade and have
resulted in some Improvement in the
prospects for larger foreign outlets
for American farm products.
Improved demand and shorter sup
plies of some commodities will result
in higher prices for farm products
during the first half of 1887 compar-
ed with the similar period of 1886.
During the latter part of 1887 the in
creased demand may not be sufficient
to offset increased supplies which
would follow more favorable weather
conditions and the anticipated reac-
lions of producers of some commodi-
ties to current high prices for those
products. Much of the increase in
the level of prices received by farm

MOST Of STATES
AREA FARM LANDS
Two-Thirds to That, Other
Third Being Forests
and Wasteland

College Station, Raleigh, Nov 12.-
Farmlands constitute two-rhirds of
North Carolina's total area. The other
third consists mostly of forests and
abandoned wastelands.
In 1885. the land in farms aggregat-
ed 100000 of the States total area
of 100000 acres, said DR.. r. Y.
Winters, director of the N. c. Agri-
cultural Experiment Station.
Reaching from the tidewater belt
in the east through the piedmont
counties and into the mountains, the
State is surpassed by few if any 9TH
ers in the variety of its soil types,
climatec conditions, geological forma-
tions, and natural vegetation, he adj
ded.
These great varieties -. in physical
conditions mean that in the State agri
culture faces many hazards and has
MANY different opportunities for land
use.
Past usage has depleted much of
the land of it's natural cover and fer
tility The problem now is: How can
depleted lands be reclaimed economi-
cally for profitable use? How can the
better lands be used to advantage
while conserving them for future gen.
erations?
In the solution of this problem, in
it's various aspects, the Experiment
Station has been surveying and
studying land areas of the State, de-
termining uses for which different
land are suited best, developing bet
ter cultural practices, and working
out effective methods of soil conser-
walton.
At present, considerable work re-
mains to be done in classifying the
States land areas and mapping them
according to present use, in mapping
lands suited to agriculture, in map
ping and coming lands unsuited to
farming, in mapping drainage areas,
and in mapping superior lands that
would support more intensive agri-
culture, Dr. Winters pointed out.

1881 900 for January-August in 1886
The value of the products import
ed from Canada during these eight
months amounted to $40 1000 for
items on which the United States
granted duty concessions and to $43,-
100000 for those on which no conces-
sions were granted. During the cor
responding eight months of 1885 i'm
ports of the former were valued at
only $6,306,000 and of the latter at
$31 653 900.
In the case of commodities on which
the United States obtained duty con-
cessions from Canada the outstanding
increases were in the exports of fresh
vegetables, fresh fruit, meat products,
cereal products, lard, fruit juice, dried
and canned fruits, nuts and field and
garden seeds.
The outstanding increases in our
imports from Canada of commodities
on which we granted duty concessions
were in live cattle and horses, ched-
dar cheese, maple sugar, seed pota-
toes, turnips and rutabagas and poul-
try.

INSURANCE PLANS
ON CROPS STUDIED
Wallace Points Out Need of
Protecting Farmers from
Weather

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE Presi-
dents Committee on Crop Insurance
today discussed with representatives
of insurance companies, both stock
companies and mutuals, the possibili-
ties Of working out a program Of crop
insurance.
Secretary Wallace, chairman of the
committee, outlined the need for
making available to farmers a means
of insuring against heavy crop losses
arising out of unfavoraole weather
and other factors beyond their con-
troll
Secretary Wallace said the broad
objective of crop insurance should be
to contribute to greater stability of
supplies and prices of farm products
in the interest of both producers and
consumers.
He said that the committee is anx-
ious to have the cooperation of in
surance companies in developing a
program. Spokesman for the COM
panies said they would cooperate in
every way possible. It was agreed that
stock cmopanies as group and mu-
tua1 companies as a group would each
select two persons to represent them
in further deliberations, particularly
in technical analysis of various pro-
posals.
The Presidents committee will con-
fer Friday with representatives of
the Industry warehousing farm pro-
ducts. On Saturday the committee will
confer with representatives Of far
mers' organizations. The committee
plans to make report to the Presi-
dent in December.

while the conditions which will
affect the demand for farm products
beyond 1887 cannot be definitely in
dictated, it is expected that the inn

Discussing the domestic demand

sion low point of $44 1900 100000 in
1888 to $50, OOO, OOO,0O in 1886.

reau said Industrial production al

AS to the foreign demand outlook,
the bureau said
"Since 1888 world prices have been
rising. 1t may be expected that this
upward trend in prices, especially if
it should continue for some time,
would tend to relax the pressure for
high trade restrictions. Recent re-
auctions in tariffs and removal of
quotas by France and Italy following
the devaluation of the old gold bloc
currencies may foreshadow further
relaxations of trade barriers.
Another influence looking toward
the relaxation of trade barriers has
been the reciprocal trade agreements
program of the United States. Thus
far, this program has reduced speci-
fled trade restrictions in IA completed
agreements and also acted as a check
