AMERICA'S AMAZING AGRICUIT- URAL ADVANCE. Baltimore, August 18. (Special to Tho Cnpltul Journal.) Under the heading "America's Amazing Agr cultural Advance" tho Mnnufnctttr era' Record In tomorrow's Issue will say: Tho Increase In tho value of farm property of 18,000,000,000 between 1800 nnd 1007 Is nearly nlno tlmoa as great nn tho nggrogalo national banking capital of tho United Slate?. It Is more than one-half ns largo as tho total capitalization, bonds and rtoeks Included, of all tho railroads in the united States. It Is nearly thrco times at largo as tho aggro gato savings-bank deposits of tho wholo country, Think for n mom ent of tho incicaso, simply kovoh years' Incromont, In tho valuo of farm property being nlno times a great as tho total national. bunking capital or tho United States, thro, times as great us all tho savings bank dcpoolta accumulated during all tho past and half as largo as tliu otitlru capttalUatlnn of alt tho rail roads In tho United Btutoi, Into which tho surplus money of tho land has beau pouring for over three quarters of a contury, in all tho records of American do. volopinent nothing Is moro romark ablo than tho advanco made during tho Inst fow years by tho agricultural Interests of this country. Tho story of what tho farmers are doing and of what they havo accomplished within tho last fow years Is un matched oven by tho marvelou'i growth In manufacturing. In 1800 tho 8, BOG, 000 pcoplo augugud hi tin rlcitlturo In this country produced n total of f 2.4 00.000.000, or an nv erago of 287 por capita. In 1007 tho 11.001.000 ongagod tit agrloul turo produced a total of 17,412.000.. 000, or an average of (01 8 per cap- e vas J32C, whllo from that llguro there was a rapid decline to $280 In 1880, and during tho noxt ten years tho por capita wan practically sta tionary, as tho average In 1890 way only 287, If rcllnblo figures woro available, they would show a market!! decline between 1800 and 1800, bo- cause It was during that porlor that tho agricultural Interests reached tholr most ncuto singe of poverty. In tbojo yonrs farm products, not only In tho south, but throughout tho country, woro greatly depressed, soiling In ninny cases below tho cohc of raising. Farm lauds llkowlso sioaauy depreciated In valuo. Dy 1000, Iiowovor, Micro had como n great chnngo, duo to tho ndvanco be tween 1807 and 1000, nnd in tho lat tor year tho valuo of farm products per capita ws $451, a gam of $1C1 por capita, or about 57 por cent, com pared with 1800. Slnco 1000 this gain has continued uninterruptedly, rising In 1005 to $558 por capita, In 100(1 $570 and In 1007 to ..018. Secretary of Agrlculturo Wilson esti mates tho total valuo of this year's farm products at $8,000,000,000, or a goln of about, ZOOO.nnn.nnn nvnr -- , - - , - w p V U U If I V t 1007.

Inc hl inning., and though this con- matter of general rejoicing-that tho farmers aro on rising ground finan cially. Economic conditions practically assure a continuation of increasing values of farm lands, or an Increas ing demand ror rarm products, grow ing moro rapidly than tho produc tion is likely to grow, and thus a continued high range or prices for practically all the products of Amer ican farms. Tho consumer can no longer hopo to got his cotton goods, his bread and his meat at the low prlco of 180C. We havo been pass ing through an economic revolution, pr evolution, to a higher ran go of living. This necessarily means n hlghere rrange of prices for farm products and a higher range ot wages ror mechanics. With 4ho agricultural conditions or tho country In such a fundamen tally sound position as indicated by tho figures which wo havo given there cannot bo any such long period of Industrial depression as wo had In rormcr years when tho rarmers wero tho pooreat pcoplo In tho land. With tho certainty of crop yields, which In tho aggrogato will glvo tu the greatest amount of railroad ton nngo and tho greatest value to farm products which wo havo ever haJ, nnttiro has laid tho foundation for a great expansion of Industry. Taking, tho value of rarm products aB shown by tho following figures, wo havo a striking illustration of tho wonderful growth now under wny: Years Valuo or Farm Products. 1870 $1,958,000,000 1880 2,212,000,000 1890 2,400,000.000 1000 4,717,000,000 1905 0,415,000,000 100C . ;.. 0,704,000,000 1007 7,412,000,000 1008 8,000,OQO,000 In the 20-year period between 1870 and 1800 tho train was onlv $500,000,000; In tho 30-yenr period betwoon 1870 and 1000 tho gain was only $2,800,000,000 whereas in tho olght-yenr period troiii 1900 to 1908 the gain was $3,300,000,000, or $500,000,000 moro than tor tho 30 years trom 1870 to 100. Begin ning with 190 every year has ahown n steady nnd rapid Incrcaso. And In nearly every year tho gain over tho preceding yenr exceeded tho total gain or 20 years between 1870 and 1800. Probably nothing moro forcibly II- lUBtrntos this marvelous chango than tho fact that tho value of the agri cultural products of the south olono, which will this year be between $2, 250,000,000 and $2,500,000,000, will bo moro than tho total for tho United States In 1880 nnd nbout tho samo as for tho entlro country as Into as 1800. in 1800 who could havo dared to predict that tho valuo of tho Houth'B farm products of i 100S would oqunl 4o total ror tho Unltod 8tntos In 1S007 That tho south, with 20,000,000 population, Is producing as much value lu agricul tural outturn as the Unltod Statos with 02,000.000 people did In 1800 Ih one of tho amazing facts of our history, in 1800 tho valuo or all agricultural products outside or tho bouth was $1,600,000,000. or at loast (500.000,000 less than what tho south alono will this yuar produco.

Within tho last five ortcn years there has been a rapid growth in scientific farming. Under these conditions ..n,fort,w,inRrMcaret.Il1?.lnb.leom. there is an Increasing average .yield gg fbS per acre. We are preparing lor an hii. .n.i ibo Jncreued yield much greater than .iJ tho Increase in acerage. ai uiu same time millions of acres hitherto wnsto lamV are being made available for tho most profitable ot agricultu ral pursuits. Irrigation In the semi arid regions of the west is turning a desert into fruitful orchards nn-1 vineyards yielding immensely prof itable crops. What Irrigation Is do ing for dry land reclamation Is be ginning to do on a still more prltlt ablo scale ror wet land. Tho coun try has learned that It is a simpler proposition to tnko tho surplus wa ter off of overflowed lands than it Is to bring a supply of water to tho dry land of the west. Thousands of ncres reclaimed within tho Inst few years, yielding today great protlts whero nothing was produced a few years ago, have shown tho tolmost Il limitable possibilities In saving to man's uses the millions of ncres of rcclalmnblo wot lands which have heretofore been without value. It 'Is estimated that tho aggregate wet or ovorriowed landri which can bo re claimed nro greater In extent nnd will bo very much greater In vnltio per aero when reclaimed thnn tho entlro acreage now devoted to tho wheat and cotton crops ot tho United States. This Is, Indeed, a veritable empire ot boundless pptcntlnlltlcj which will add Immeasurably to the wealth of tho south, where great r- clnmatlon progress Is already tinder wny. Considering the progress In ncl cntttlo agriculture, tho steady In crcaso In tho yield per acre now go ing on, tho vast oxpnnslon In truck ing and fruit-growing for tho needs of nn over-expanding population, the great possibilities in irrigation and reclamation work, wo can readily seo that tho agricultural Interests ot tho country aro noly at tho beginning of their real development, and that the futtiro holds In storo a prosperity imich greater even than the magnif icent ndvanco since 1000 has brought them, These facts furnish n foun dation for unbounded optimism as to tho mngnltudo or our material progrcno In the future. .SUMMER RESOIfl; GOOD SHOOTING BY OREGON MILITIAMKN Camp Perry, O., Aug. 18.
