Doubled' in Three Years.
AiXTHATE FIUFKFS OBTAIX1JI)
Sonic or Virginia's Leading Products
llringing More Than Three Times
as Much as Previous Five Years':
Average?-Tobacco and Potatoes. 1
Fairly accurate figures of this year's'
| crop productions are obtainable. They i
are enormous as compared with those j
of other recent years.
| In 1915 tlie total value of farm pro- j
j ducts, including all crops ami live;
| stock, was $10,774,000,000 for the on- 1
j lire country. This, which at that time j
! was by far the largest value over
recorded as the outcome of the work
j of American farmers, rose to $13,406.
('00,000 in the next year, 1916. and
jumped to $1!?, 443,000,000 in 1017.
This year the total value of all crops
and live stock products will run far
beyond $i!0.000,000.000 and the prob
ability is that it will be nearer ?20,
000.000.000.
These figures arc taken from a care- j
ful compilation by the Manufacturers*
Keeord of the statistics of tho crop
production for I'JlS, based on tho pre
liminary estimates of the Department,
of Agriculture of the I'nlted States. 1
as of Xovcmbc-r I. IMS. This compila
tion shows an amazing increase in the j
valu?- of the farm crops of America!
during the last few years, the increase j
in value, of course, far exceeding the|
increase in quality.
IXSKillT INTO KMlIt.MOLS
IXCUKASIC l.\ COST OF I.IV1XG
In a study of these figures is gotten '
an indication of the enormous increase i
in the cost of foodstuffs to the con
sumer, for be it remembered that these '
figures are based on the prices paid '
to tho farmer and do not at all in
dicate the staggering totals before!
these products enter into consumption, j
The total production of grain this!
year" is 5,63S.000,000 bushels, a decrease
of 158,000,000 bushels as compared with :
1017. The better quality of tho corn |
crop of this year, however, offset this]
decrease in quantity, so far as foed
ilig value is concerned. Ilut liotwith- -
standing this decrease of 158,000,000
bushels of grain, the value shows an
increase of 378,800.000.
Therefore, when considering tho
question as to the increase In the value
of main as .compared with the in- I
.-rouse of cotton it should bo borne In j
mind that the increase in the former!
far exceeds the increase in >the latter.)
In the total production in bushels of
foodstuffs there is an incrcaso of lfl3,
<00,000 bushels, but with an increaRej
hi valuo of $I45.50|>.000 thiu your over|
lust.
Oontpa'red wltli 101". tlx* com crop I

It is when one compares the pro- ;
Auction ami the valuo of the present j
year with the uvorauo for the live-.
year period front 1911 to and inelud-|
Ing 1!>15 that a fairer conception of
the enormous increase in prices is I
Knined. The corn crop of the present'
year, for instance, is only 4.000.000!
bushels larger than the average of thei
live-year period. 1911-1015. Hut the!
value of this year's crop exceeds i?y j
$2,212,000,000 the average value of the I
Vom crop of l.te live-year period men- :
i. toned. )
The wheat crop shows a gain of 11.2.- i
('00,000 bushels as compared with the
live years ending 1015, but the lit-1
cr?ase in value tor this crop is 51,- I
1ST.000.000. . 1
The gain in lite value of wheat and !
corn this year over the live-year period ]
mentioned is $.S,31*0.000.000. while the I
guilt in value of cotton, the South's!
'great staple, is $1,021,000,000, and that |
of tobacco, the South's next big money !
Crop, is $214.782,000.
In the light of these figures the
grain growers of the country have1
nothing to complain of in the enor
mous Increase in the value of their
products as compared with tho in-1
creased value of cotton.

value of which has been estlmuted

ernment prices, as of November 1 ami
earlier, as compared with tbe Una) re- |
turns of preceding years on December!
1. the figures show that these crops
this year throughout the country 1
should have u totnl value of $12,382,
Ot'O.vuO as compared with $11.f>o3.ooo.
ooo last year, or a gain of $770,150.OOo.
It should be understood that the.se;
are not the final figures, which doubt
less will vary in some cases quite i
hirgely from these estimates. More
than likely they will indicate here and
there a considerable higher total and in
h few cases a smaller llttttre. Approx
imately. however, it may ho counted
that the value of the products named
wil' for this year amount to $12,382.
000.000.
if to this be added tIto value of the
other crops, which will probably run
S2.500.000, the country will have for
farm < rops ir. the neighborhood or $Ht
Stln.(100,000. or possibly $ 15,000.000,000.
The estimated value of live stock
! roducts of the country last year was
$."? 833,000,000. So great has been the
increase in tlte prices of livestock that!
these figures will probanly run frir
sirs >ear Into tlte neighborhood of
$7,000,000,000. These tentative estl- ]
mates, therefore, give a total for the I
year of $22,000,000,000 ns a minimum
received by the farmers for their crops
and livestock products. Kven these I
stupendous fictires will probably bo ex
coeded In the final returns. 1

TO DRUG STORE
?Thousand* of Richmond people
are run down and in exactly the
proper state of health to catch the
first Influenza term that pause* by.
They feel ran down. Their whole
nervous system tells them of an Im
pending bre&Jcdovrn, and concha, colds
and kindred ills are always giving
thim trouble.
Such people should follow the
splendid example of hundreds upon
hundreds of Richmond folks who have
flocked to Tragle'a drug store during
the past week for a bottle of Hypo
Cod. This is truly a marvelous pre
paration. Williams Kills, wholesale
druggist, says; "The sale of Hypo
Cod is phenomenal. Exceeds all other
Cod Liver preparations In sales and
popularity." Williams, Martin <fc
Grey, state: "Ls one of the biggest
celling medicine of any kind they
handle. No remedy fur a similar
purpose approaches it."
The above jobbers know. Burrow
Martins drug store, in Norfolk,
bought over $3,500.00 worth to veil at
retail in the past two months. Such
a phenomenal sale proves conclusively
that Hypo-Cod is not only the very
best preventive of Influenza and
coughs asd ooU'.3 of winter, but is
proving a tooic of wonderful power as
weM.
People all day yesterday streamed
into Trarle's for Hypo-Cod. The
demonstrator was kept busily en
gaged with people desirous of know
ing more about It. all day long. For
what it will do read the article below:
"Sonthern Cooking Not to Blame for
Stomach Trouble." Then go get a
bottle yourself if not in the best of
health. A good tonic now is worth a
bushel later.
