THE PROMISED LAND.
Country's Vast Farm Riches Year's
Production Reported as $8,700,
000,000. Secretary of Agriculture Wilson
In his annual report to the president
says that the value of the farm pro
ducts of the country is so incom
prehensibly large that it has become
merely a row of figures. For this
year, he says, it is $8,760,000,000.
The gain of this year over the pre
ceding year is $869,000,000.
"Most prosperous of all years Is
the place to which 1909 is entitled
In agriculture," Secretary Wilson in
forms the President. "The yield has
been bountiful with most crops, and
prices have been high. Advantage-1
ously situated as he is in most re
spects, the farmer is less and less
generally compelled to dump his
crops on the market at times of har
vest. He does not need to work for
his board and clothes, as he often
did In the former time when prices
were so low as to be unprofitable."
In the report the results of a care
ful study of the prices of meat are
offered, and Secretary Wilson says
that the farmer has not had his fair
share In the benefits of generally
rising prices.
In connection with the recent con
fession of the Armour Packing com
pany that It annually makes 35 per
cent, profit on Its capitalization, Sec
retary Wilson shows that the con
sumer, having paid this profit to tho
beef trust, Is also forced to pay a
profit of 38 per cent, to the retailer.
"As tho result of a unique investi
gation," says the report, "It Is found
that the retail cost charged to con
sumers above the admitted whole
sale price was 31.4 per cent, in the
north Atlantic states, 38 per cent, in
the south Atlantic, 38 per cent, in
the north central, 39.4 per cent. In
the western and 54 per cent, in the
south central. In New York City
it was found that the gross retail
profit was 20 per cent.. 36 per cent.
In Boston and 64 per cent, in Mobile.
"The lower the grade of beef the
greater the Increase In the percent
age of profit, and the Inference is
safe that the poor pay nearly twice
as much profit to the wholesaler and
to the retailor as do the well to
do."
According to the figures present
ed, the value of farm products has
nearly doubled in ten years. Secre
tary Wilson Is enthusiastic over the
figures and says:
"Eleven years of agriculture, be
ginning with a production of 14,417,-
000 and ending with 18,760,000,000,
a Bum of 170.000,000,000 for the
period. It has paid off mortgages, it
has established banks, it has made
better homes, it has helped to make
the farmer a citizen of the world,
and it has provided him with means
for improving his soil and making
it more productive"
The most striking fact In the
world's agriculture Is the value of
the corn crop for 1909, which Is
about ? 1,720,000,000. This crop
exceeds in Value the average of the
crops of the five preceding yenrs by
36 per cent.
Cotton is now the second crop In
value, and the year's cotton crop,
worth ?8GO,000,000, is tho most
valuable one to the farmer that has
been produced.
