JANUARY 2C, IJKJ6 PJaOHASJlfG POWSE OF FAEMEBS The value of .American fnrni products tills year is more than three billion dolors, or, ac cording to the latest Hoverntnem report. $3,300,000,000. V e Imve become accustomed to reckon -wealth in sixain d e'ghi iigures; but this vast sum s be--ond the "power of the average mind to comprehend Com menting on the government re- port the Chicago Inter-Ocean s3si "Based on the figaxes of the last report made by the govern inent, the value of the-corn crop; to die farmers of the country at ; thaprevailing prices will be thi, vear about S085.000.OX). Thi is to be compared with 952, 800,000 vakie to the farmers lasi y ear- from their crn.$l J017,000.-. 000 19Q2, and $921,500,000, in 190L This year's ctxvp is th second best corn crop on record in value to the farmers. 4iluch has been said and I printed about the failure of the wheat crop this y ear. The yirlL was under that iirst expected, and under the yields of recent highpices for wheat prevail- ingtliis fail haxe Blade the crop pmbablv the most vahlitble in the history of the ormatry to the . 1 larmers. It is ectimated thai the wheat yield this J'ear V a worth to the farmers about S551.C00.OC9. as compared -with a value of $443,000,000 last year, 422.200.0(0 in 1002, and -467,300.000 itt.l 901 "The cotton crop of the pres ent year is close to the best in ; Size and qualin" ever produced ! , in lit? imi 1 111 . i : pitrri:ii-i I a s- A-. 4 ' I ll v 1 lation in cotton last tjver. made an extreni range of pnees for the stap and probably put the toatal value of last-veats crop to thei., , ...fcJt.. planters at a higherfigure than vc'v be realized for the crop this season. The estimated figures are $000,000,000 for this year's crop,as compared with $617,500. 000 for last year's cnp.iSOJOO, 000 in 1902 and 438,000,000 in 1901. "The hay crop in one of the most valuable that the farmers of the country raise, although little is heard of it and its vicissitudes during the growing eeason. This year the hay crop is very large, but the price is not up to the average of former years Tiie total value of the crop is estimated at $550,000, 000, as compared with $56,300, 000 in 1.903, 542,000.000 in 1902, and $506,100,000 in 1901. "The potato crop this year is one of the best, if not the best in the history of the countrj', and although the price pr -bushel is considerabl3r less than that prevailing last year, the remuneration to the farmers will be larger. There is indi cated a total value of the potato crop of $158 000,000, as com pared with $151,000,000 last year, $134,100,000 in 1902, and 143,000,000 in 1901. . "The oat, rye, barley and huclovheat crops are excellent this year and prices are good, i'he yield to the farmers this fall are figured at -a total of $350,000,000 for the four crops, compared with $352,200,000 t :ist year, $300,000ii00 in 1002, and $308,700,000 in 1001. 'Combined, the crops Of tilt' country this 3 ear represent a valuu to the farmers, nt the prevailing .prices, larger than ever beforw in the history of the country. The grand total of the yield of the harvests this fall is estimated at 3,200,000,000 Last year records were $3,073,000,000. n 1802 the harvest was worth $2,9S7,OOQ.O0O. In 3001 the yield to the farmeis was $2 S45, 000.000." "Willi the money from the sale nf t hese crops our farmers could pay (ill the national debts oi America ajid JEngland, build a new .navy twice as large as the lone we now have, Hien buy for cash every railroad in the United . , . . ' , e more conn re 1 11 left than a hundred men could couut in an arerwge lifetime. No other class of people on earth has a purchasing power so great as that of ibe American fkrmer. Farmers are building more new homes and are en joying greater prosperity and happiness than any other class of people. Our fanners, by co-operating to btnr their food, ...j.:.. f ' ; "einer)ts and 0jer necessities. coud vyipe alJ of jhe mon0ptist'icand criminal truls out of existence. By working together our farmers could positively bi.13 evei-thing they need at very nearlv their own prices, and by operating their own .stores, mills and fcatories ould save the enoim- ous profits that go to enrich the jobber, the wholesale and retail dealer.
