Amazing Figures Given in Annual
Report of Secretary of
Agriculture.
Washington, Nov. 30.The eighth
annual report of Secretary of Agricul
ture Wilson gives figures and facts that
show the remarkable importance of
farming industries in the United States.
In opening his report the secretary
enumerates some of the more important
features of the year's work in his de
partment. Among them are extensive
co-operatioh with agricultural stations
the taking of preliminary steps to con
duct feeding and breeding experiments:
the war waged, against the cotton boll
weevil and against cattle mange plans
for education of engineers in road
ibuilding the production of a hardy
orange, a hybrid of the Florida orange
and the Japanese trifoliata valuable
research in successful shipping of fruit
abroad the value of nitrogen-fixing
bacteria, successful introduction &
plants suited to light rainfall areas
establishment of pure food standards
the extension of agricultural education
in primary and secondary schools the
extension of instruction to our island
possessions to enable them to supply
the country with $200,000,000 worth of
domestic products, now imported from
abroad. The report .continues:
Wealth in Corn.
The corn of 1004 yields a farm value greater
than ever before. The farmers could from the
proceeds of this single crop pay the national
debt, the interest thereon for one year aud still
have enough left to pay a considerable portion of
I the government'* yearly expenses. The cotton
crop, valued for llnt-and' seed at $600,000,000,
comes second, while hny and wheat contend for
tho third place-. Combined, these two crops.will
about equal in value llie corn crop. Notwith
standing tho wheat crop shows a lower produc
tion than any year since 1900,' the f/iu value
is the since

astonishing figures. The farmers' hens now
produce oue and two-thirds billions of dozens of
eggs, aqd at the high average price of the year
the hens during their busy season lay enough
eggs In a single month to pay the year's interest
on the national debt.
Value of Farm -Products.
After a careful estimate of the value of the
products of the farm during 1904, made within
the census scope, it is safe to place the amount
of $4,900,000,000, after excluding' the value' of
farm crops fed to livestock in order avoid du
plication of values. This is 9.65Blnc,retocent pe aboye
the product of 1903 aud 31.2S cent above that
of the censuosf year 1899.

farmers of this country hove in two years
produced wealth exceeding the output of all the
,vP -nrina discoveresd America. 1 product isofover six time the amount ohisthyear's capital stock all
national banks, It lacks but three-fourths of a
billion dollars of the value of the manufactures
Of 1000, less the cost of. materials used it is
three times the gross earnings from the opera
tions of the railways, and four times the value of
all minerals produced in this country.
The year 1904 keeps well up to the average of
exports of farm products during the live years
1899-1003. amounting to over $850,000,000, while
the average for the five years was nearly ?soo.-
000,000. During the last fifteen years the bal
ance of trade in favor of this country, all arti
cles considered, exceeded $4,384,000,000, but tak
ing farm products alone these showed a bal
ance In our faVor of more than $5,300,000,000.
Fanff.Capital increases.
The IncteaseiTOvfarm. capital, the .seoretary es
:tlmates conservatively at $2,000,000,000 .within.
iTour years-this'without recognizing the marked
increase in the value of land during the past
two years. The most startling figures shown
as illustrating the farmers' prosperity are those
presented by deposits in banks in typical agricul
tural states. The secretary selects for this
Illustration Iowa, Kansas and Mississippi. Tak
ing all kinds of banks, national, state, private
and savings, the deposits increased from June
30, 1806, to Oct. 31. 1904, in Iowa, 164 per
cent, in Kansas 210 per cent and in Mississippi
301 per centin the United States 91 per cent.
A similar favorable comparison may be made as
to tlie number of depositors.
The secretary concludes that the farmers' rate
offlnnncialprogress need fear no comparison
with that of any other class Of producers.
Weather Bureau Forecasts.
The regular forecasts of the weather bureau
for thirty-six nnd forty-eight hours in advance
have been made daily turnout the year, besides
special warnings of gales, cold waves, frosts,
heavy snows, floods, etc., which have been issued
for the benefit of commercial- and agricultural in
terests. Forecasts are issued, moreover, for the
first three daps out of steamers bound for Euro
pean ports. The river and flood service had
several opportunities to demonstrate its useful
ness and growing efficiency and owing to the
advices and warnings of the bureau the dan
gers of the great ice gorges in the Susquehanna,
Allegheny and Ohio rivers were much mini
mized.
The national weather and crop bulletins were
Issued from Z43 section centers. Besides the ex
tensive distribution of tho forecast cards, over
5,000 railroad stations have been supplied with
bulletins, and the bureau has availed itself ex
tensively of the rural free delivery and "the rural
teleph6ne system, so that forecasts are quickly
disseminated thruout a large territory at a:
imum of expense.
While expressing the hope that the time will
come when it will be possible to forecast weather'
for coming seasons, that time has not yet ar
rived, and the secretary utters a warning on the
subject.
During the year arrangements were perfected
for a generous increase in the number of daily
telegraphic weather reports, and the secretary
reports several submarine cables laid. The
weather bureau has now 15 stations completely
min
equipped, -while ISO steel towers, with improved
equipment for displaying storm warnings, are
now installed along the shores of the Great
Lakes and the Atlantic and Pacific seacoasts.
Inspection of Animals.
Besides safeguarding the livestock Industry at
home, the department is fostering the foreign
trade. The. total export of anluiai products" in
the past fiscal year exceeded $223,000,000. The
total Inspections for export were: For cattle,
790,496 for sheep, 634,850, and for horses,
3,293. There was a great Increase in the num.
ber of cattle and sheep exported, but. a consider
able reduction in the number of horses.
Inspection of animals and their products wo|
maintained at fifty-one establishments in cities
of antemortem inspections about 65,000,000 were
made, and of postmortem 40,000,000, an increase
in both cases over the previous year. The mi
croscopic inspection of pork is restricted to that
destined to countries requiring it, and the num
ber of carcasses inspected in 1904 was 313,445,
of which 2,643 were found to be trichinous.
The secretary devotes considerable space to
reporting on the successful conflict waged against
cattle scab and mange by the bureau of animal
industry, with the co-operation of the state au
thorities. During the first nine months of. thii
year, in thirty-four states and territories, nearly*
4.000,000 head were inspected and 168,203 were
found affected by the disease, while 300,000
were found to have been exposed to it. The
total number of cattle dipped during this period
exceeded 420,000.
Experiments recently reported upon by the
bureau of animal industry show conclusively
that it Is an error to conclude that cattle cap-*
not be infected with human tuberculosis. The
secretary urges the necessity of a rigid enforce
ment of the public regulations looking to the
control and eradication of this disease In cattle.
The bureau distributed 74,000 aoses or tubercu
lin in 1904.. The blackleg vaccine for. cattle
distributed by* the bureau continues to give satis
faction. During the year 1,000,000.doses of this
vaccine were issued, and oyer 10,000 persons re
ported highly satisfactory results. The number
of animals that died after vaccination was re
duced to the very low flgur. of .44 per cent of the
number treated.
