AGRICULTURAL ADVANCE
Marvelous Increase in Value of
Farm Products.
Reviewing America’s amazing
i agricultural ad vance of late years,
kth<‘ Manufacturers’ Record says:
nothing more, forci
illustrates this marvelous
B
B
for t>>‘- I toted States in
M-o. and about the same as for
V: entire country as late as
In I*9o, who could have
l.tir‘3 t< oc diet that the value of
the K Toth’s farm products of
KMX* would equal the total for the
United State- in IThat the
South, with 25,(XMi. o'Xi population,
m producing as much value in
agricultural out turn as the Uni
ted States with 62,000,000 people
did in 1890 is one of the amazing
facts of our history. In 1890 the
value of all agricultural products
outside of the South was $1,596,-
000.000, or at least $600,000,OCX)
less than what the South alone
will this year produce.
The increase in the value of
farm property of $5,000,000,000
between 1900 and 1907 is nearly
nine times as great as the aggre
gate national banking capital of
the United States. It is more
than one half as large as the to
tal capitalization, bonds and
stocks included, of all the rail
roads in th • United States. It is
nearly three times as large as the
aggregate savings bank deposits
of the whole count ry. Think for
a moment of the increase, simply
seven years' increment, isi the
value of farm property being
nine times as great as the total
national banking capital of the
Uniteil Slates, three times as
great as nil the savings bank de
posits accumulated duringall the
past and half as large as the en
tire capitalization of all the rail
roads in the United States into
which the surplus money of the
land has boon pouring for over
throe quarters of a century.
In IK6O the 8,555,000 peopleen
gaged in agriculture in this coun
try produced a total of $2,466,
000,000, or an average of $287 per
capita. In I!K>7 the 11,991 (XlO
engaged in agriculture a total st
$7,412,000,(MX), or an average of
S6IH per capita. During that
period the number of people en
gaged in agriculture increased
by 10 per cent while the value of
farm products increased by 200
per cent, and the value of all farm
property increased by 89 per
cent.
In the brief period between
1900 and 1907 the value of farm
property advanced in value from
$20.436,000,000 to $28,077,000,000
a gain of nearly $8,000,000,000, or
117 per cent though the number
of people engaged in agricultural
pursuits increased only 15 per
cent.
A study of facts bearing upon
agricultural conditions since 1870
shows that in that year the value
of all agricultural products per
capita to those engaged in farm
pursuits was $326. while from
that figure there was a rapid de
cline to s2*6 in 1880 and during
the next 1(> years the per capita
was practically stationary, as the
average in I*9o was only s2*7. If
reliable figures were available,
| they would show a marked de-
I cline bet ween 1890 and 1896, be
I cause it was dm ing that period
that the agricultural interests
reached their most acute stage
of poverty. In those years farm
products, not only in the South,
but throughout the country,
were greatly depressed, selling
in many cases below ttie cost of
raising. Farm lands likewise
i steadily depreciated in value.
By 1900, however, there had
come a groat change, but to the
advance between 1897 and llkk),
and in the iatter years the value
of farm p>«>ducls per capita was
$451. a gain of $194 per capita, or
iabout 57 per cent camparod with
iIB9C. t't'.nea 1900 thj.a gax hM
continued uninterruptedly, ris
i ingin 1905 to $558 per capita, in
1906 to $579 and in 1907 to $6lB.
j Secretary of Agriculture Wilson
(estimates the total value of this
i year’s farm products at $8,000,-
>OOO,OOO or a gain of about $600,-
(XX),(XX) over 1907. Accepting
- Mr. Wilson’s figures as correct
though we believe that they will
i prove to be too small, the per ca
pita production will show an
jother rapid advance this year.
Much, however, as the farmers
lof this country have accomplish
ed in the marvelous advance
shown by these figures, they are
or’y at the beginning of their
progress. Within the last five
or ton years there has been a
rapid growth in scientific farm
ing. Under these conditions
there is an increasing average
yield per acre. We are prepar
ing for an increased yield much
greater than the increase in acre
age. At the same time millions
of acres of hitherto waste lands
are being made available for the
most profitable of agricultural
pursuits. Irrigation in the
semi-arid region of the West is
turning a desert into fruitful
orchards and vineyards yielding
immensely profitable crops.
What irrigation is doing for dry
land reclamation is beginning to
do on a still more profitable scale
for wet land.
'l'he country has learned that
it is a simpler proposition to take
the surplus water off of overflow
ed land than it is to bring a sup
ply of water to the dry land of the
west. Thousands of acres re
claimed within the last few years
yielding today great profits
where nothing was produced a
few years ago, have shown the
almost illimitable possibilities in
saving to man’s uses the millions
of acres of reclaimable wet lands
which have heretofore been with
out value. It is estimated that
the aggregate of wet or overflow
ed land which can be reclaimed
and of dry lands which can be
irrigated, is greater in extent
and will be greater in value per
acre when reclaimed than the
acreage now devoted to wheat
and cotton. This is, indeed, a
veritable empire of boundless
potenitialties which will add
immeasurably to the wealth of
the south where great reclama
tion progress is already under
way. Considering the progress
in scientific agriculture, the
steady increase in the yield per
acre now going on, the vast ex
pansion in trucking and fruit
growing for the needs of an ever
expanding population, the great
possibilities in irrigation and re
clamation work, we can readily
see that the agriculturrl inter
ests of the count ry are only at
the beginning of their real
broad development, and that the
future holds in store a prosperi
ty much greater even than the
magnificent advance since KMX)
has brought them.
These facts furnish a founda
tion for unbounded optimism as
to the magnitude of »ur material
progress in the future.

CHATTOOGA ORE LANDS
Purchased by Carnegie-Schwab
Steel Interests.
A press report sent out from
Chattanooga says the Carnegie
and Schwab steel interests of
Pittsburg have purchased all the
Colyar iron interests on
Dirtseller mountain and other
valuable properties in this coun- >
ty and will soon begin the erec..
tioq of a large steel mill in Chat-!
tanooga.
Concerning the new steel com
pany the Chattanooga News says:
Chattanooga is to have a steel
mill in the near future.
The Carnegie and Schwab in
terests have enlisted to that end.
For several days past agents
and parties at interest have been
down in North Georgia securing
options on ore lands that have al
ready been bought by the new
steel company.
Today it is learned by The
Chattanooga News from reliable
authority that the gentlemen here
from Pittsburg behind the pro -
ject have purchased all the Col-’
yar iron interests, including Dirt
Seller mountain down in Chat
tooga county. Georgia, and other
valuable ore are
now negotiating and securing op
tions on others.
While the new steel company
will have its Georgia office at
Summerville, it is positively
stated to The Chattanooga News ;
that the big steel mill will be
built here in Chattanooga and
will not only be one of the lar-;
gest in the south but will be a
model one in every respect.

Nalson and the Spaniard*.
There is an amusing anecdote
about that gruff sea dog Nelson.
Two Spanish captains came on
board with a request to be allowed
to see “the greatest seaman in the
world.’’ Nelson grumbled, but
gave in and went on deck, forget
ting that “at that moment his legs
wore bound up at the knees and
ankles with pieces of brown paper
soaked in vinegar and tied on with
red tape.” This had been done to
allay the irritation arising from
mosquito bites. Quite forgetting
his attire and the extraordinary ap
pearance which it presented, Lord
Nelson went on deck and conduct
ed the interview with the Spanish
captains with such perfect courtesy
that his singular appearance was
quite obliterated by the charm of
his manner, and the Spaniards left
the ship with their high opinion of
him thoroughly confirmed.
Cured Hay Fever and Summer Cold
A. S. Nusbaum, Batesville, Indian
na, writes: “Last year Isu ered for
three mouths with a summer cold so
distressing that it interfered with my
business. I had many of the symp
toms of hay fever, and a doctor's pre
scription did not reach my case, and I
took several medicines which seemed
only to aggravate it. Fortunately I
insisted upon having Foley’s Honey
and Tar. It quickly cured me. My
wife has since used Foley’s Honey and
Tar with the same success.
