During 1923 the American farmer carried over $10,064,000,000 worth of
grains and ilve stock, dairy and poultry products, fruits and vegetables from the
facm to the market. The total value of the nation's farm output was $146,000,
000 more than the estimated value for 1922 and over $6,169,000,000 mor? than
the value of the farm products In 1914.
In 1921 and 1922 the value of farm products was lower than any year
since 1916, when the total was $13,406,000,000. With the entrance of the
United 8tates Into the World war, prices for farm crops almost doubled In
value. In 1917 the total value of farm products was $19,831,000,000, an In
crease of $0,925,000,000 over the previous year. In 1918 the value had reached
$22,480,000,000 and In 1919 It was estimated at $28,787,000,000. In 1920 the
total value of farm products decreased In the one year more than $6,459,000,000.
In 1921 there was a still greater reduction, the total value having dropped to
$12,402,000,000, the lowest since 1915. Since 1921 values have been working
their way back to normal.
Of this year's crop more than $2,000,000,000 worth were marketed by the
farmer's own business organisations at the actual cost of handling. Reports
from 2,600 grain co-operatives show business totalling $490,000.000; 1,841 dairy
products organisations did a business of $800,000.000; 1,182 live stock shipping
associations, $280,000,000 ; 78 cotton co-operstlves, $100,000,000 and 14 tobscco
organisation?, $182,000.000. Only 8,818 of the 10,800 organisations have report*
ed, of whldi 96 per cent were primarily engaged In selling farm products.

Bishop's light rises near the SelUjr
islands nnd gives u grim warning of
the dangers of the const. It Is one of
the most exposed lighthouses in the
world and the three tenders have a
lonesome time. During a recent storm
the beams from Bishop's rock cume
near to falling. The light weighs sev
eral tons and revolves on supports
resting In a circular trough of mer
cury. It is baiunced so delicately a
child may turn it by a touch of the fin
ger. On this night the tower was so
shaken by the heavy seas that much of
the mercury was spilled out over the
concrete floor of th4 light chamber.
The three guards fell on their knees,
scooped up the mercury In their hands
and poured It back into the trough.
Sunrising
When the sun approaches towards
the gates of the morning, he first
opens a little eye of heaven, and
sends away the spirit of darkness,
and gives light to a cock, and calls
up the lark to matins, and by and by
gilds the fringes of a cloud, and peeps
over the eastern hills, thrusting out his
golden horns, like those which decked
the brows of Moses when he was
forced to wear a veil because himself
had seen the face of Ood; and still,
while a man tells the story, the sun
gets up higher, till he shows a fair
face and a full light, and then he
shines one whole day.?Jeremy Taylor.
Making Fine Distinction*
"A woman does not mind being
called a kitten, but hates to be named
a cat. A man, on the contrary, is flat
tered at being thought a dog, but re
sents being referred to as a pappy."
"When a man describes a woman as
a 'sympathetic soul.' you know that
she has placed herself like a silent and
succulent sponge full In the flow of bis
eloquence for a considerable number of
hoars, while he declaimed to her his
'conquests, glories, triumphs, spoils,' in
aa uninterrupted monologue of com
placency."Mere Man," bj Honor
Bright.
