In the first annua' rapirt of his third term. Secretary of Agriculture Wilson presents an array of figures and state ment representing the product and profits of the farmers of ths country, which he admits "dreams of wealth pro duction could hardly equal." Four crops make new high records as to value corn, hay wheat and rice, air- though in amount of of production the corn crop Is the only one that exceeds previous yields. In every crop the gen eral level of the production was high and that of prices was higher. Beside j the enormous yield of wealth. the secretary estimates that the farms of Uie country . ing the past five years to a point aggre gating $6,135,000,000. . v Every sunset during the past .five .years," he says, "has registered an m- erease of $5,400,000" m the value of farms of this country," This increased value the secretary suggests, is invested better than in bank deposits or even in the gilt edged bonds of private corpor-porations. : corn leaps Analyzing the principal crops for the year, the secretary says that corn reached its highest production at 2.708.000,000 bushels, a gain of 42,000,000 over' the next lowest year, 1899. Hay is second in order of -value, although . cotton held second place during the two proceeding years. The hay crop this year is valued at $605,000,000. Cotton comes third, with a valuation of $575,000,000; wheat, $525,000,000; oats $282,000,000 pota toes 13,800.000 ; sugar cane and 'sugar beets. $50,000,000; rice $13,892,000; dairy products. $665, 000,000. an increase of $54,000,000 over last year. POULTRY AND WHEAT "The farmer's hen," the secretary says. is becoming a worthy companion of his cow. The annual production of eggs is now a score of billions. Poultry products have climbed to a place of more than a half million dollars in value, so the farm er's hen competes with wheat for preced ence. , horses on increase I here are more, horses and with a larger aggregate value than ever before. notwithstanding, as the secretary says. they were "threatened by the bicycle and later by the suburban trolleys and the automobile." He estimates their value at $1,200,000,000, or nearly as much as the corn crop. . - MILCH COWS INCREASINO Although milch cows are increasing in number and value, the report states that other cattle and sheep have for several vears been decreasing. There are' 17,' 670.000 milch cows vatuM J-iC-, 000,000. Other cattle are numbered at 43.669.000, with a value of $462,000, 000. Swine number 47,321,000, valued at $282,255,000. V MORE THAN EHOUOH ' -: '';'' In the aggregate the value of farm animals has .increased a few million dol lar within the year, and since the cen sus of 1900 have increased 9 percent. Withjtiis enormous production the secre tary says the wants of 85.0OO.OC0 peo ple have been supplied, with a remaining surplus constituting a generous contricu tion to other nations, .,. , SOUTH PROSPEROUS. ; For the first time in the financial his tory of the south, deposit! in the banks of that region now exceed $1,000,000,000. : . . WONDERFUL CONDITION. 1 , Should there be no relapse from his present' position as a wealth producer, three years hence the farmer will find that the farming element, about 35 per cent of the population, has produced an amount of wealth within 1 0 years equa to one half of the entire national wealth produced in three centuries. Disfigured for Life Moscow, Idaho. Nov 27. As the re sult of a battle between freshmen and sophomores at the State University it is believed Jay Jellick of Idaho Falls, a Freshman, has been disfigured . for life. Nitrate of silver , solution was used to brand the face and hands of the victim. In a jrush Wednesday night last Roy Barto, president and leader of the fresh men, was captured and handcuffed. The Freshmen attempted his release and Jellick was left captive among the sopho mores after Barto was liberated. The sophomores applied a solution of nitrate of silver - to their victim's face and hands and upon his cheeks, forehead and the back of one hand inserted the brand of their class number, "08" Jellick refuses to discuss the affair and is keeping to his room. Dr. Thompson of the University hospital attended him but the peysician also refuses to talk about the matter, and there is an effort by the college authorities and Sophomore to suppress the whole affair.' Witness Quarantined Five student of the state university at Eugene, are under quarantine with small pox, which suddenly and inexplicably ap peared in the institution. .
