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.

trade, wo have had n combination or
e'reumstaneo which have united to
bring about a much hlghor range or
I valuo. Tho cotuumor of farm i.r...

Mow price which prevailed 12 or 15
year ago. The farmer U now h.v.
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:

1870 $1,958,000,000

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

Into as 1800. in 1800 who could
havo dared to predict that tho valuo

Ih one of tho amazing facts of our
history, in 1800 tho valuo or all
agricultural products outside or tho

ginning of ' their progress. 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.
