Basis of Prosperity.

A succession of favorable seasons since 1899 in conjunction with decreased foreign output of farm products stimulated prices at home and abroad and a steady upward tendency of values has placed agriculture in the most favored class of all the national industries. Farm mortgages have been liquidated, substantial improvements made and modern equipment added to the farms in all parts of the country in the past decade. The marvelous growth in population and increase of national wealth were the result of unparalleled agricultural prosperity, as a new era of land cultivation which embraces the conservation of the fertility of the soil and scientific agriculture has characterized husbandry in the last ten years. The laudable work of scientific agricultural schools is in impressive evidence in all the commonwealths of the nation. While a vast area of new land in being brought under subjugation, the older fields are now being tilled with an effort to increase production. With a larger acreage under cultivation than a decade ago, the yield is increased as well as all prices advanced for agricultural products.

The value of farm crops in 1899 was reported at $2,141,502,000, and in 1909 at $8,760,000,000, or an increase of nominally 400 per cent. This vast sum was achieved by enlarged acreage, increased yields and higher prices as contrasted with ten years ago. With an unfavorable season which has reduced the yield of wheat, cotton, fruit and other farm products, the value of the 1910 agricultural crop is estimated to equal the record made last season. The increase of wealth on the farm is not restricted to cereals, but the live' stock industry shows marvelous gains. Illinois leads all the commonwealths in the magnitude of agricultural production. In 1899 the farm output of the state was credited with a value of $195,146,000, and in 1909 it had reached the proportions of $337,085,000, an increase of 73 per cent in ten years. Georgia increased her agricultural output in ten years 128 per cent. Every state in the nation shows conservative increase in agriculture. In 1899 the average value of the 13,665,307 horses in the United States was only $37.39, while in 1910 they had reached an average of $108.19. Illinois leads with 1,655,000 horses, with an average value of $124 per head. If one takes up the entire list of agricultural products and animal in r dustry he will discover an extraordinary advance in the past decade and such an increase in farm wealth as to form the substantial basis of the nation’s financial growth and prestige as a world power. All industries are dependent on agriculture for prosperity, and good farm crops are the harbinger of prosperous times. The above is clipped from the Daily Farmers and Drovers Journal, of Chicago, a nonpartisan newspaper that has closest to its heart the welfare of the farmer and stockraiser. It is indeed difficult to see how any farmer can wish to take a chance with a democratic administration and we believe the business farmer will ~go quietly to the polls this fall and plant a ballot straight for the republican ticket.

Big Job of Blasting and Tiling in White County.

Delphi Journal. Nelson F. Howard, a practical blaster of rocks and stumps, who resided near Radnor, in Carroll county, until about one year ago, has landed one of the largest contracts ever awarded in this section, in his line of work. He has the tremendous task of clearing a tract of land comprising 1,820 acres that lies in White county, near Monon, for Thomas Kelley, president of the Live Stock Commission company, of Chicago. On the land that is to be cleared by Mr. Howard, he has just completed the erection of four large barns, each capable of housing 320 head of cattle at one time. Nearly six hundred acres of the land is covered by timber and the contract calls for the clearing of all this to a deptfr of sixteen inches. It is the intention of Mr. Kelley to convert all his tract into grazing land. Mr. Howard is a practical man at the business, having had over twenty years’ experience, and this contract, amounting to SII,OOO, is the largest one he ever undertook. He expects to finish it in about one year, having a force of about fifteen men at work. The farm is to be thoroughly drained also, and a large force of men are at work. To drain the tract will cost the enormous sum of $40,000, 180 miles of tiling, ranging from six to twentytwo inches. Mr. Kelley, the owner of the land, has an 800 acre tract in the south, and has offered Mr. Howard a year round job. He wants him to work in the south during the cold months and during the summer time complete the job just started in White county. Mr. Howard will very likely accept the proposition.

It Is No Puzzle to Find The Liar in Brewer Literature.

Kentland Enterprise. The Indiana brewers are flooding the state with circular letters stating that as much liquor is being sold in the dry territory as there was before the saloons were driven out of business* Which is poor argument for the reinstatement of the saloons any way you look at it. In the first place the brewers and everyone else knows the statement is not true, or they would not be fighting to get the saloon back, dividing their profits with several hundred saloon keepers and paying thousands of dollars for license to sell the same amount of goods they claim they are now selling. And again, if their Statements were true regarding the safirof liquor, the fact remains that the public saloon has been dispensed with, and the great majority of people want to see it kept closed.
