V(0,000,000. That is over four
times the value of all the products
of American farms in the Phila
delphia Centennial year.
Output of the larms is doubling
every fifteen years. Only so short
a time ago as when Cleveland was
President and in his second term,
farm mortgages were the burden
of almost every political speech
made in the West. Poverty of
the farmers sent men like Jere
Simpson from Medicine Lodge to
Congress.
But tens of millions of farm
mortgages held by Eastern bauks
have been paid off in the last de
cade. It is no longer "bleeding"
or "starving" Kansas, but opul
ent, thriving Kansas.
Irrigation is bringing annually
vast tracts of erstwhile barren
land to a state of high cultivation.
Improved methods in agriculture
generally are adding to the yield
per acre. Colleges for scientific
instruction are sending to the
fields an army of bright young
men who are literally making two
blades of grass grow where one
grew before.
It is enough to make other na
tions regard America in awe when
they see coming from our farms
this year a sum sufficient to build
nearly 1000 Dreadnoughts!

Airship Budget of lhe Great Powers.
A note addressed to Parliament
by the British War Office con
tains a comparative statement of
the sums expended in l'J08 by the
governments of the principal na
tions of Europe in the construc
tion ot airships and the prosecu
tion of experiments in aerial navi
gation. The approximate
amounts, m American money,
are: Germany, $ 1,900,000; France
225,000; Austria-Hungary, $20,
000; Great Britain, $25.000.,
The German government con
tributed $1,250,000 to the Zeppe
lin fund, expended $510,000 in
the purchase of Zeppelin airsips,
and $125,000 for the pay and
mnintenanceof the ballooon corps.
.France spent $34,00Q on aeronaut
leal schools, pay, and experi
ments, $57,000 for material and
construction, and $135,000 for the
maintenance of existing airships.
Austria-Hungary spent $14,000
for schools, pay, etc., and $12,
000 for airships. Great Britain
spent $9,500 for dirigible balloons
and $2,500 lor aeroplanes. These
figures are official and therefore
not open to question. London
newspapers comment bitterly on
the fact that Germany spends
nearly eighty times as much as
Great Britain for the creation of
an aerial navy.
