"The total cut of national forest "timber during the year was nearly 400,000,000 board feet, of which over .00,000,000 feet were given away un der free-use permits," says the sec retary of acilcrlturo In his latrt annu aal report which has jnst been made. Tho timber acquired under free-use permits was used by cottiers, schools -and churches with tho forests. The secretary says that tho receipts from 'timber sales were about $700,000, and .continues: "Freo use of timber was heaviest ln Idaho, with over 18,000,000 board feet, followed by Montana, Colorado, Utah and Now Mexico, with amounts ranging from nearly 17,000,000 to less than 10,000,000 feet California, Wyoming and Oregon had each a free uso cat of between 6,000,000 and 7, 000,000 feet.

Four hundred and four million dollars Is tho valuo ot th0 products of 211,000 farms In Washington, Orocon, Idaho and Montana in 1909, n gain ot 7C per cont sinco 1900. Tho assets ot tho farmers aro practically doublo thoso ot 1904, tholr debts are con siderably less, wlillo tho surplus Is larger than over beforo in tho history ot tho country? Tho number ot farms I and tho wealth production In tho four states aro approximately as follows . Washington, 66,000 farms; $104,- 000.000 production. Oregon, 75,000 farms; $114,000,000 production. Ida ho, 40,000 farms; $72,000,000 pro duction. Montana, 30,000 farms; $114,000,000 production. Total number of farms In the four states number 211,000 and their to tal $404,000,000. Tho foregoing figures show there lb need for moro farmers In tho north westorn states and that millions of acres ot land, now Idle, could bo put under cultivation on a substantial rev enue-paying basis. Thero ar0 many who bellovo that tho days of tho bo nanza farms aro numbered, which moans that with smaller holdings thero will be more Intensive farming, and, as a consequuaco, larger acre crops. Tho farm products-of 1909 fn tho I Inland omplro, taklirg la eastern i Washington and Oregon,,, north and contral Idaho and wesrern Montana,) aro valued at IllO.OO'OOO'. A nor-( mal applo crop at present prices In stead of a yield ranging- from 35 to 40 por cent, would have placed tho figures at approximately $117,000",- 000 as'agalnst about $90',00u,,00(r fa 1908. Wheat, of courso, was tEo big fac tor, tho four states producing morot than 75,000,000 bushels,, or whfcfi t 35,780,000 bushels is credited to! Washington. 16.377,000 bushels for Oregon, 14,465,000 bushels for Id-' aho and the rest for Montana. Tho other farm products entering into tho computation are fruit, oats,, bar-, ley, ryo, hay, sugar beets, potatoes,, garden products, llvo stock, dairy products and poultry and eggs. Tho foregoing figures becom0 Im portant In tho development of the western country when It Is known that In many instances tho products of tbo older farming states aro not as valuablo as thoso In tho quartot I mentioned, which, less thnm a quar ter of a contury ago, were consid ered to bo largely wortUltma lands. It means, too, that with tho Influx i . .. .... ' oi popuu-.iion and outsider capital tor development purposss there will bo moro farms and a greater welath production. There aro 6,741,000 farms, or about 1,000,000 moro than in 1899,. In tho United Statos today, nnd the value of tho products for 1909 Is placed at $9,600,000,000, with farm assets of $35,000,000,000. This shows that fully one-third ot tho population of tho country Is engaged In tho various forms, of agriculture. It Is bollovod by many that the re sult of tho country llfo and back-to-tho-land movemonta will bo to ralso tho per centago of farms to 4:9 In a fow yars, thua placing tho nation In tho position of an exporter and raising tho wealth production to tho 11-flguro notch.
