GOUNTRY BANKS FEED 'CHANGE
Deposits of Rural Customers Furnish
Sinews to Bulls and Bears.
Now York, June 13. It is the country
banker, holding the deposits of his
rural customers, who is the real fatlwr
of Uie Stock Exchange and who makes
possible the speculative ventures of tho
bulls and bears. Attracted by tho high
rate for speculative loans, the outside
banker rushes his money to New Yoclc,
his brokers loan it on listed securities
and tho money is in turn used to keep
tho big Wall street game going.
James G. Cannon, president of the
Fourth National bank and ono of the
big powers in finance, testified to that
effect before the Pujo subcommittee of
the house committee on bunking nnd
currency, which Is investigating the
money trust. The bank president
made It plain that without the support
of the outsiders New York's great ex
change could not do business and that
the rural financial light was really the
master of his city cousin, who always
got tho limelight.
Reduced to Its last analysis. Wall
street told the government's commit
tee that the farmer and tho small
business man who starts the outside
bank deposits going is the real father
of the money trust.

properties in New Jersey and Now
York at different points from Belvi

Incroase In Farms Sinco 18 CO.
The change since IStH) In the method
of carrying on the work of producing
cropn or tho substitution of the south
ern small farm and tenant system for
tho hired labor system of the northern
stntes in the eight soutliem states cast
of the Mississippi Is outlined in a
statement Issued by Director Durnud
of tliu bureau of tho census, depart
ment of commerce and labor. It wns
prepared by John Leo Coulter, expert
special agent for agriculture.
The states considered are Mississippi,
Alalxuna, Georgia, South Carolina,
North Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky
and Virginia.
There has been nn Increase in the
number of farms from 304,000 in 1S00
to 1,91S,000 in 1010. Thus there were
in 1010 almost four times as many
farms as there were In 1800. It is clear
that tho size of tho average farm has
decreased In proportion to the Increase
In tho numlwr of farms. The average
farm na reported In 1800 wns 321
acres, whllo in 1010 it was 84 acres,
or about one-fourth as largo as In 18C.0.
It is evident that, whereas there Wire
C3 farms per thousand of population In
these states In 1SG0, there wero nearly
twice as many, or 110, in 1010.
Amount of Land Imp-oved.
Tho absolute amount of land Im
proved was 54.135,000 acre in 1800. In
1870 it had decreased to 47,485,000 acres,
a loss of 0,050,000 fierce, or 12.3 per
cent But by 1SS0 tho amount of Im
proved land Increased to 58,149,000
acres, which Is almost 4,000,000 acres
above the amount In farms In 1800.
In 1S00 there wero 07,500,000 acres; In
1000 the amount was 7Ji,000,000 acres,
and in 1010 it was 81,000,000 acres.
It is clear, therefore, that it was not
until about 16S9 thnt the south had
completely recovered from the war, so
far as bringing land into cultivation
was concerned.
During the first twenty years of the
period tinder consideration the revolu
tion In land tenure Itecame observable.
Large nuinlers of small farms wero
established between lPfiO and 1870.
At the census of 1SFO there were re
ported for the eight states over 4-1.000
places less than ten acres in size. Since
18S0 the number has constantly In
creased until in 1010 there wero 118,000,
almost three times as'many.
Between 1880 and 1910 there was n
considerable Incroase In the number of
fasm owners. In 1880 there were 072,
000 owners and managers, whereas in
1010 there were 001,000, an increase of
280,000, or 43 ier cent. On tho other
hand, there wero only 407,000 tenants
In 1880, or less than two-thirds na
many as owners nnd managers, while
In 1010 there were 087,000, which is
considerably more than the total num
ber of farmers who own either nil or
part of their land or who are hired
managers. Tho increase was 5S0.000,
or 143 per cent.
Negro Tenants.
In 1000 in this group of eight states
one-third of tho farms were operated
by negro farmers and two-thirds by
white farmers. Further, of tho negro
fanners only about one-fifth were own
ers, whllo among tho white farmers
nearly two-thlrda lived on owned
farms. In 1000 there wero more than
400,000 negro tenants In these states.
In 1010 the number had lncrensed to
considerably more than 500,000.
For tho group of states in question
heroin about 30 per cent hire labor.
This high average is duo to the fact
that in Virginia 40 per cent report la
bor employed, and North Carolina,
South Carolina and Georgia show each
almost 40 per cent.
It is not only a fact that the tenant
syBtom is a substltuto for the hired la
bor system to other iart8 of tho coun
try, bat that tn these southern states
tho farmers who report expenditures
for labor stnto an exceedingly small
amount In tho New England and
middle Atlantic Btatoa an average ex
penditure of about $2CO per form for
labor is maintained, while in tho north
central states tho uverugo runs well
over $223. Iu tlio mountain nnd Pa
cific statu! it amounts to fOOO ior
farm. In flvo of tho eight states con
sfilerod tho average expenditure for la
bor per farm reporting in considerably
leas than $100.

week studying the methods now given in this book, his only preparation for the business.
Result this "greenhorn" raised 95 per cent, of all his chicks, and 1350 of them were pullets.
("Poultry Secrets" tells you this secret.) In less than seven months he was getting 425
eggs daily, and selling them at 58 cents a dozen. His feed cost averaged $4.00 a day, leaving
him OVER $17.00 A DAY PROFIT, and this before all his pullets had begun laying.
Isn't "Money-making Secrets" a good name for such booklets?
Read what people say of the other booklets, and of the Farm Journal itself:
"I find your Egg-Book worth untold dollars, says
Roy Ciianet, Illinois. "What it tells would take a beeinner years
to learn."
"I am much pleased with the Butter Book," writes
F. J. Dickson, Illinois, "and would like to know how I could
ecure 300 copies, one for each patron of our creamery."
"Duck Dollars is the best book I ever had on
duck-raisine," says 1 M. Waxnoce, I'enna.
"If your other booklets contain as much valuable
information us the Keg-Hook, I would consider them cheap at
double the price," says 1'. W. Hansfilld, New York.
T. F. McCrea, a missionary in China, writes, "I
found Garden Gold a ercat help in my garden this summer. I
lost my health in the great famine, trying to save the starving
Chinese, and I am trying to get it back by getting near to the
soil. After a long tussle with the Chinese language and mission
problems, it is a great rest to get out with the vegetables,
trees, chickens, etc. I am saving money and regaining my
health. My wife and I both find 1'ahm Journal indispensable
"The Farm Journal beats them all," writes T. H.
Pottei, Penna. "Every issue has reminders and ideas worth a
year's subscription."
"One year I took another agricultural paper,"
says N. M. Gladwin. Washington, "and it took a whole column
to tell what Farm Journal tells in one paragraph."
"I was very greatly helped by your garden page,"
writes Mrs. Joe Lawrence. Saskatchewan. "1 was never
successful in growing cabbage until last summer, when I tried
the Faku Journal way. Now I have more than I need to use."
"Farm Journal was a regular visitor at my boy
hood home," writes Dr. William Davis, New Jersey. When
the first copy came, it carried me back ten years, and I felt a boy
again. I shall never be without it again! want home to seem
like home. When it arrives. I feel the gladness jump right into
me. I begin on the first page and read to my wife until half-past
ten. and all through the month I drink of its cream. You must
work hard to keep it so rich."
"Farm Journal is good for the man behind the
counter, as well as the man in the field," says J. I. Sloat, a
Virginia bank clerk.
"If I could get as good interest on every dollar as
I get from the Farm Journal, I would soon be a millionaire,"
says A. W. Weitzel, I'enna.
