OUR FARMS IN 1907 i
YIELD SEVEN BILLIONS |
Secretary Wilson’s Annual Report
Gives Dazzling Figures.
-
CORN IS KING, HAY SECOND
Farmers Grow Rich—While Products
Are Smaller in Volume, Their
Value Exceeds Average—Cotton '
in Third Place.
Washington, D. C.—The farmers
of the United States poured into the
domestic and foreign markets during
the fiscal year of 1907 the amazing
total of $7,412,000,000 in valuation
of all kinds of farm products.
This unassailable evidence of the
remarkable prosperity of the country
figures in hard cash ten per cent,
more than the agricultural interests
of the country obtained for their
products during the fiscal year 1906.
Moreover, it is an increase of fifty
seven per cent, over the total realized
in 1 899.
To the average mind the total valu
ation of farm products in the United
States in the fiscal years from 1899 to
1907, inclusive, is so vast as to be al
most incomprehensible. Secretary
Wilson, of the Department of Agricul
ture, in his annual report, made pub
lic, gives this total as $53,000,000,
000.
“It is only by comparison,,” says
Secretary Wilson, “that a glimmer of
understanding can be given to such
numbers as the foregoing. Enough
is apparent, however, to make it plain
that the farmer of the United States
is in a business that counts for na
tional welfare by providing the
wherewithal on a scale of magnifi
cence that defies the imagination to
comprehend. ”
Mr. Wilson lays especial stress and
draws an interesting comparison in
figuring the value of the year’s corn
crop, which he estimates at $1,350,
000,000, granting that it sold at the
present average price. This is an i
crease of twenty-six per cent, over
the average value of the five previous
crops.
“Tl>3 farm value of the corn crop of
eight such years as 1907,” says Mr.
Wilson, “would pay for duplicating
every mile of steam railroads in the
United States, and pay for their cost
ly terminals, rolling stock and all
property. In thirteen years it would
replace the present banking power
of this country in banking capital,
surplus, deposits and cirimlation, and
in seventeen years it would replace
the banking power of the world."
It is not hard to account for the
Increased cost of living, after reading
the report by Secretary Wilson.
While crops in nearly every in
stance are smaller in volume than
the average for the past five years,
their total value is largely in excess
of the average, and even of the
bumper year, 1906. When, with
smaller crops, the Secretary says the
farmer this year will have more
money to spend and more to invest
than ever before, it is evident that
the increased cost of food products
is being paid for by the consumer.
According to Mr. Wilson, the year
has been one of untoward conditions,
‘requiring all the skill and industry
of the farmer to grow an average
crop. The struggle has been not only
one of an erratic season, but of a
scarcity of help In every State and
Territory in the Union.
The report pays considerable atten
tion to the Durum wheat crop. This
species was introduced in this coun
try in 1899-1902, having been
brought from Africa and Russia by
the department, at a cost of $10,000.
This year’s crop, covering 3,000,000
acres, which was formerly the home
of the cactus and the prairie dog, is
worth $30,000,000, or more than
twice the annual cost of the Depart
ment of Agriculture. Europe took
more than 20,000,000 bushels, a
large amount of the product going to
its former homes, Russia and Africa.
The growth of the beet sugar in
dustry In fifteen years has been won
derful. In 1892 the factories turned
out 13,460 tons, while this year the
product reached 500,000 tons. Much
is said of alfalfa as a wealth-produc
ing crop. The total crop for this year
Is worth $100,000,000.
There are 11,000,000 acres of land
under cultivation in the Irrigated re
gion, and the total crops are worth
more than $175,000,000.
Wheat production was six per cent,
less than the average, yet its value is
more than five per cent, greater, or
$500,000,000 in round figures.
The increased cost of products is
(strikingly illustrated in the oat crop,
which was a failure to a great extent.
While it is nineteen per cent, less in
quantity and quality, it is worth
twenty-six per cent, more than the
average. Cotton takes third place
among products, its value being about
$650,000,000, ranking below corn
and hay. Rice took a big jump in
quantity, the production being ninety
eight per cent, above the average for
three years. This country now ex
ports more rice than it Imports.
The advances in the prices of but
ter and milk have made the dairy pro
ducts alone worth $800,000,000, or
much more than any crop save corn.
The egg and poultry products were
worth over half a billion.
On a value basis, farm and forest
products made up seventy-one per
cent, of the total exports of the Uni
ted States, and the Secretary says our
foreign credit is mainly sustained by
our farmers.
No More an Autocrat.
The Duma decreed that the title
“autocrat,” borne by the Emperors
of Ruesia for centuries, is no longer
tenable, within the Russian State.
Malt Liquor is Intoxicating.
The Minnesota Supreme Court has
decided that a “malt” liquor is an
“intoxicating beverage.”

FACTORY MS RUN DOWN
Five Killed and Six Injured in a
Shocking Accident.
Wnterbnry's Trolley Disabled by Mo
torm ail’s Frantic Effort to Clear
a Railroad Crossing.
Waterbury, Conn.—With its mo
tive power suddenly disabled an Oak
ville trolley car, loaded with employes
of the Oakville Pin Company, was run
down and wrecked by a freight train
on the West Main street crossing of
the Highland Division at 7 o’clock a.
m. The dead were:
Annie Corcoran, twenty years old.
Robert French, twenty years old.
Walter Hayes, seventeen years old.
■Tane Kelly, thirty-nine years old
Sarah Ryan, twenty-six years old.
The seriously injured are: Charles
Learned, motorman, contusions, cuts
and temporary insanity; Andrew Le
glien, head badly cut and arms in
jured; Kittle Hanley, head cut; Mar
garet Mellen, both arms broken; Jen
nie Benson, crushed foot: Theresa
Kolia, ankle broken; Sadie Allen,
legs cut off; ,T. S. Bassett, dislocation
of the shoulder and injuries to the
knee and hands; Bridget Hanley,
fractured skull; John Kaezergis, No.
62 James street, leg shattered.
Charles Learned, motorman of the
car, who escaped by jumping through
the glass window of his vestibule,
was locked up, raving mad. John
Dillon, the conductor, who signalled
the car to go ahead, and John Flavin,
the gateman, who raised the barrier
and let the car upon the tracks in the
path of the onrushing train, are also
held without hail.
A passenger train had just passed
and, although the alarm bell was
ringing Flavin raised the gates. He
says that the bell rang most of the
time anyway, whether a train was
near or not, qnd that, he supposed its
ringing was caused by the passenger
train which had just gone by.
In accordance with the rules Dil
lon, the conductor, walked across the
track in advance of his car carrying a
red lantern, for its was still dark.
Had he turned his head he must have
seen the freight, pulled by two loco
motives, dashing toward him. But
he did not, and raised his lantern,
the signal for the car to proceed.
With his car squarely on the crossing
Learned heard the roar of the train
and looked up to see the headlight
almost at his elbow.
He swung on all the power, but
this blew out the fuse and the car
was stalled. Then Learned plunged
head first through the window, and
the crash followed. The car was
struck full in the centre and carried
200 yards up the track. Learned, the
motorman, when he saw what had
happened, is said to have tried to
dash out his brains against a curb
stone.
The dead were so horribly mangled
that for a long time their closest rela
tives, were unable to identify them,
and the undertakers had trouble in
getting the bodies together.
Fortune St. Pierre, a passenger on
the trolley, probably owes his life to
the fact that he broke his pledge of a
year and yielded to the longing for a
cigarette. From the centre of the car
he went to the front platform and got
tobacco and paper from Learned. He
leaped from the door just before the
collision came.
HOLD COTTON AT 15 CENTS.
Planters Propose to Store 6,000,000
Bales to Get Their Price.
New Orleans, La.—The holding by
cotton planters of at least 6,000,000
bales of this year’s crop in ware
houses until cotton brings fifteen
cents a pound was the principal ob
ject of a meeting of the Board oi
Directors of the National Farmers'
Union here. Fifteen directors parti
cipated.
The financial situation was thought
to roquire the most careful co-opera
tion by planters in order to hold up
the price of cotton. It is proposed
to store the cotton in warehouses
and to make n warehouse receipt on
cotton as nearly as possible the
equivalent of money, in order better
to insure the success of the storing
scheme. The recommendations adopt
ed at to-day’s meeting will be sub
mitted to the vote of cotton planters
in each of the States represented at
the meeting. •
These States are Louisiana, Texas,
Mississippi, Georgia, Alabama, Ten
nessee, Oklahoma, South Carolina
and Arkansas.
CHRISTMAS TREE HARVEST.
About 150,000 to Como This Year
From New Brunswick.
St. 8tephen, N. B.—Cutting of fir
trees in New Brunswick for export
to the United States, to be used as
Christmas trees, has reached larger
proportions this season than ever be
fore. The American buyers have
fouud that it is much cheaper to get
the trees from Canada than from
Maine, the Canadian stumpage price
and wages for labor being much be
low the American rates, and with no
duty imposed on the exportation of
the trees, the conditions all favor
Canada in its rivalry with Maine for
the Christmas tree business in the
United States. It is estimated that
the province of New Brunswick will
export at least 150,000 trees to the
American market during the next
monlh for the Christmas trade. The
prices offered are generally regarded
as high.
Active Business Throughout Country.
The country is still doing so much
business that there are not cars
enough to take care of it. That is a
good Indication of continued pros
perity.
Mayor Kills Himself.
Mayor John Van Fossen, of Ypsi
lanti, Mich., shot himself through the
head and died soon after. He once
was in an asylum and feared a return
of insauity.
The Labor World.
A new union of steam engineers
was recently installed at Lowell,
Mass.
A new district council of carpen
ters has been organised at St. Paul,
Minn.
Barbers In London, Ont., have re
ceived an Increase of $1 a week in
wages. i.

SOME EFFECTS OF THE RECENT FINANC IAH- CRISIS^
Panic began on October 10.
Ten banks in New York City suffered runs, some of which forced
suspension.
Thirty-five banks in other cities suffered runs.
Eighteen deaths have resulted, either suicides or tlirough sickness j
brought on by worry.
Three men have been indicted and arrested for bank fund juggling;
at least four others are likely to be.
Seventeen banks in New York City suspended payment wholly or in
part.
Fifty-four banks in other citites suspended.
Fifteen of this whole number have resumed.
About $125,000,000 has been withdrawn from banks in New York ,
City, much of it, however, to be redeposited in other banks.
$335,000,000, estimated, has been withdrawn from banks elsewhere.

RESUME OE THE PANIC.
Tragedy and Comedy—How the Country-Wide Financial Squeeze
Grew From a Small Failure.
New York City.—The financial squeeze has now been on for a trifle
more than four weeks, and the people all over the country, realizing that
the worst is over, are gathering about the stoves in the corner stores, dis
cussing what might be called the superficial developments of the panie.
Some of these are mentioned, even yet, with the old shiver of alarm. In
many of them, however, is found humor; in others tragedy.
For instance, back in Kankakee the experience of the old "tight wad”
money lender who went to the city to collect a note, insisted on currency
and had to charter a truck and a freight car to get it home is greeted with
uproarious laughter. But the story of the little widow just around the cor
ner is recalled in silence. Her small sum was in a city bank which closed.
She stood before its doors a whole night and a day, and came home, when
the suspension notice was posted, weakened in body and literally scared to
death. ■
The whole trouble seemed to start from one apparently—at that time
—Insignificant failure. The failure, however, was followed by rumors in
volving the names of several prominent bankers. These were soon forced
out of office, and runs started on their bank's. The trouble spread in waves
over New York City. The community’s spine was shaken with the cold
chills of panic and the ague passed in waves from Wall Street to Harlem,
the Bronx, Brooklyn and Williamsburg. Bank officers who had been skat
ing on thin ice scrambled for the shore, but their moves only shattered
what support they had had, and they found themselves struggling in the
cold black water of the law.
On this phase of the situation a Harlem bank president who has been
active in the banking world for nearly two score years commented.
Banker on the Panic.
"There are many bankers, cashiers, bookkeepers and clerks included,”
he said, “who would live to old age without the blight of dishonor if there
were no such thing as bank runs and panics. A man may have invested the
money he has ‘borrowed’—qudte that word, please—so safely that he will
actually be able to return it if everything goes right. But the first thing
he knows his bank is Involved In trouble like that we have just passed
through, and he finds his books in the hands of the bank examiner. Before
jumping on necks with hobnails in our boots, let’s stop and think how many
honest men to-day would have had the blight of State's prison on their past
had a financial flurry occurred at Just the right, or, rather, the wrong time.
Who can tell?”
The panic passed over the country like a wave, with its start in Man
hattan Island. This wave’s progress Is reflected in the news dispatches.
The day of the first trouble here, Boston, Philadelphia and Pittsburg were
sending in optimistic reports in an "I told you so” tone. The next day the
dispatches from these cities told of precautionary measures. Then the pre
cautions were taken up by cities a little further on, and those near by found
themselves involved in runs and suspensions. And so it went until the wave
broke Itself, so to speak, on the Pacific Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico.
Different Kinds of Rons.
There have been, bankers say, three kinds of runs—panic runs, silly
runs and runs started by mistake. The panic runs were the general order
resulting from the unsettled state of credit.
At least two runs were started by mistakes in newspaper stories about
the general banking situation.
A run on a bank up the State was caused in this way: The cashier got
a telephone message from home that some medicine was needed Immediately
for the baby. The cashier called an office boy, followed him to the door of
the bank in telling him the errand, and sped him on his way with the ad
monition, “Now run.” Unfortunately two or three panicky depositors were
entering and heard only the word “run” coming from the cashier. They
were Influential men in the community, and when they immediately drew
out all their deposits their example was followed by several others. Rumor
took up the case there and handled it in its old thorough-going manner.
The use of clearing house certlfkfttes and the premium on money have .
resulted in Borne curious incidents. In St. Louis the certificates were ac
cepted on street cars. In one town in the Middle West where the lack of
currency was peculiarly felt the merchants, nearly all of whom were man
ufacturers, paid their workmen in the old-fashioned "shin plasters,” and
the town is now in possession of a currency of its own, supplemented by
that of Uncle Sam.
Lots of Silver Used.
Restaurant men down town, especially proprietors of the grab-and-run
shops, say they have never in their lives seen so many silver dollars and so
much small gold. One of the cheaper restaurants in closing business on
Friday night had more than $200 in silver dollars. Most of these were
bright and new, but dated from 1870 to 1880. The young woman cashier,
who heretofore has done the banking for the concern, was unable to caxry
the deposit to the bank, and a waiter had to be sent with her.
In the mining communities and towns in which large railroad opera
tions are going on the employers have been put to it to pay off their men
and keep them cheerful. A check means about as much to an ordinary sec
tion hand as a Sanskrit handbill, and when the men found they were receiv
ing these unusual bits of paper instead of their wages they struck, and in
many Instances riot ensued. Many of the shut-downs and curtailments
shown in the accompanying table were due solely to the inability of the em
ployers to get money to pay off their men, and not to" insolvency
And ndw the climax of the situation seems to be past. Factories are
resuming work and paying their men in currency. Money has poured out
of the banks of New York City and other large financial centres, and been
replaced, at least in part, by gold from Europe. Stockings are once more
giving up their hoards, and the thin layers of new dust have been swept oft
the covers of the Btrong boxes and the lines of depositors are forming at the
right windows to give confidence to the weak kneed. The thirty-day limit
that many savings banks put upon withdrawals has expired, with few, in
deed, to claim their money; the goose iB hanging high.
