AGRICULTURE
A CREATIVE POWER
'
The secretary of agriculture in a
recent speech had tho following to
say regarding the creative power of
agricultures
"Agriculture is a creative force
among our Industries. The result of
thiq farmer's work of 190G was ?6,
T.GoO.OOO', an increase of 44 per
cent over the last census year. We
exported In 190G, ?1,71&,Q00,000
worth of goods of all kinds, and of
this 72 per cent was grown from
farms and forest. Animals and their
products yielded $323,000,000, or
19 per cent, for export after supply
ing the home demand. Cotton and
cotton products exported were $481,-
000,000, or 28 per cent; grain and
products sold abroad were $19 7,000,
000, or 11.5 per cent; and $113,000,
000, or 6.5 per cent, was miscellane
ous farm products. Forest products
are 7.5 per cent of our exports. We
use tobacco extensively and pay
around $30,000,000 for Importations
from Cuba and Sumatra, Porto Rico,
Mediterranean countries, and Bra
zilian ports. We raised Sumatra
wrappers last year to the extent of
$7,000,000 worth. The department,
after discovering principles, conducts
object lessons on the farms of the
people to help them to better things.
Wo found In the Connecticut valley
and In Florida the same soil that
grows the wrapper tobacco In Sum
atra, after visiting that country and
studying their methods and soils.
We found in Alabama and Texas the
same soil that produces the filler to
bacco in Cuba, after learning what
soil is suitable, and last year raised
400 acres of It in that state. We
hope in time to grow all tho tobacco
now imported from Cuba and Sum
atra Into the United States."
