GREATEST YEAH FOR FARMER
SECRETARY WILSON’S REPORT
PROVES IT BY FI3J-.ES.
Corn Alone Worth $1.72O.0CO,C0O With
Cotton Second in Value and
Wheat Third.
Washington, D. C.—Most prosper-
ous of all years is the place to which
-'.toy is entitled in agriculture, declares
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson in his
thirteenth annual rtport, made pub-
lic. The value of farm products is
so incomprehensible large that it has
become merely a row of figures. For
this year it is $8,760,000,009, a gain of
1869,CO0,000 over 1908. The value of
the products has nearly doubled in ten
years.
The report says: "Eleven years of
agriculture, beginning with a produc-
tion of $4,417,000,000 and ending with
$8,760,000,000! A sum of $70,000,000,-
000 for the period! It has paid off
mortgages, it has established banks,
it has made better homes, it has
helped to make the farmer a citizen
of the world, and it has provided
him with means for improving his soil
and making it more productive.”
The'1 most striking fact in the
world’s agriculture is the value of the
corn crop of 1909, which is about
$1,720,000,000. It nearly equals the
value of the clothing and personal
adornments of 76.000,000 people, ac-
cording to the census of 1909. This
crop exceeds in value the average of
the crop of the five preceeding years
by 36 per cent.
Cotton is now the second crop in
value, and this year's cotton crop Is
easily the most valuable one to the
farmer that has been produced.
Third in value is wheat, worth about
$727,000,000 at the farm, and this
largely exceeds all previous values.,
The hay crop is valued at $665,000,-
000; oats at $400,000,000; potatoes at
$100,000,000. Ileet and cane sugar
and molasses and syrup, from farm
and factory, will reach the total of
about $95,000,000. The barley crop is
worth $SS,000,000, flaxseed $36,000,000,
and 1,000,000,000 pounds of rice $25-
000,000.

Suggeation and Practical Thought.
Paul’s battlefields, victories and
crown.
1. A Picture of One of Paul’s Battle-
fields—Vs. 1-5. The advice which Paul
urges upon the younger Timothy was
counsel he himself had often acted
upon. He knew It was good, for he
had tried it. So that In the evils and
diffidties which Paul knew were con-
fronting Timothy, we may see ene-
mies which l’aul had been compelled
to meet. And in the weapons and
methods of warfare Paul charged Tim-
othy to use, we see the means by
which Paul gained the victory.
The Three Kinds of Enemies. 1.
Paul, like other men, had to fight ene-
mies within himself. When we see a
good man we are apt to think that he
has natural qualities of goodness, or
favoring circumstances that make it
easy for him to be good.
2. Paul had many outward enemies
and difficulties with which to contend.
Many of them were brought before us
in Lesson VIII. where we studied his
account of his life. His "wrestling”
was "against the principalities, against
the powers, against the world rulers
of this darkness, against the spiritual
hosts of wickedness.”
3. In the lesson to-day we find a
series of dangers and enemies within
the company of disciples which must
be overcome.
3. "For the time will come when
they will not endure” the sound,
healthful, saving “doctrine,” teaching
which Paul had preached, and all the
apostles.
4. "They shall turn away their ears
from the truth." They are well pic-
tured in Southey’s poem, “The Inch-
cape Rock.” The "holy abbot of Aber-
brothock” had placed a bell over this
rock. In such a way that It was rung
by the motion of the waves.
II. How Paul Overcame These Ene-
mies to the Truth—Vs. 1, 2, 5. Paul
gave to Timothy the most solemn
charge, using the motives which had
Influenced his own life.
1. Before God, that is, “In the sight
of God,” R. V., who was always with
him and "watching to see if he did bis
duty,” watching, not to find fault, but
to encourage and help.
And the Lord Jesus Christ. His Mas-
ter and Teacher and Friend. Who
shall judge the quick, the living and
the dead. This was more than the
consciousness that he himself must be
judged acording to what he was and
what he did; but it added the even
stronger motive that the fate of thoso
to whom he preached depended on his
faithfulness.
The coming again of Christ- At his
appearing and his kingdom. Christ’s
glorious second coming, possible at
any time, should spur Timothy to be a
faithful steward, and he should do his
work well because it would help to
establish Christ’s rule on earth, his
kingdom of peace and righteousness.
Preach, proclaim like a herald, the
word, the gospel message, the Word of
God, embodied in the life and teach-
ings of the Word who was made flesh.
Be instant, urgent, importunate,
pressing on against all obstacles. In
season, in the regular course of work,
when the opportunity is favorable,
and people wish to hear the gospel.
III. Paul’s Victory in the Conflict.—
Vs. 6, 7, 8. “For I am now ready to
be offered.” R. V.’s margin, “I am
already being poured out as a drink
offering.” His life was wearing away
In a foul dungeon, the infirmities of
age after a life of great toil and ex-
posure were upon him, and at any
time the sword of Nero might end
his life by a martyr’s death. But this
was merely death; his dying was a
libation in honor of God, a willing
sacrifice of sweet savor, holy and ac
ceptable. It was the giving to God
the choicest and most precious of all
his possession. It was the fitting
close of a life which had been for
years a living sacrifice. Paul's very
death was a victory.
IV. Paul’s Crown.—V. 8. "Hence
forth.” Paul’s life struggles were
over; there remained only to receive
the reward. “There Is laid up for
me.” “Deposited, reserved, put by in
store out of. the reach of all enemies
and sorrows.”—Bishop Wilson. A
R. V. “the” “crown of righteousness.
The leaf garland of the Grecian games,
taken by Paul as a symbol of his
eternal reward in heaven. Of right
eousness is the name of the race for
which the crown is awarded, just as
Pindar wrote: “Pytheas, broad-shoul-
dered son of Lampo, won the crown
of the double contest (wrestling and
boxing) at the Nemean games.” It
is a crown that "marks the wearer
as righteous before God” (Ilervey). It
is a crown that a righteous God be-
stows on one who has become worthy
of It.
A crown is a symbol, a sign, an em-
blem. Men seek a crown not for its
value in gold and jewels, hut lor the
things for which it stands. It means
worthines to wear it, it means suc-
cess in winning the race, it stands
for kinship, the character, the man-
liness, the power, the wealth, the
authority to guide and defend one’s
country. The iron cross of Germany,
the Victorian cross of England, the
circlet of ivy In the Grecian games.

WORK OF A BUDDING GENIUS
Couplet That Lacked Something of
the Divine Fire, But Strikingly
Original.
The ten-year-old daughter of an art-
ist believes that she is destined to fill
a great place in literature, and all her
spare moments are devoted to writing
poetry about every conceivable sub-
ject, according to the San Francisco
Wasp. Recently she attended her
first church wedding, and so tilled with
inspiration was she that site imme-
diately began to write a poem descrip-
tive of the event. A few days after-
ward, when her mother was entertain-
ing friends, the youthful prodigy asked
permission to read her poem before
the guests. Her mother humored her
with not a little secret pride. Stanza
the tooth and jerked it out as slick as
you please. After the overjoyed man
had ceased dancing about 1 queried:
"Why didn't you try the string be- \
fore starting on such a long ride?"
“Best kind of reason, sir. I hadn't
nary a string."—Youth's Companion.
The Cost of Politics.
In his reminiscences of Grover
Cleveland, George F. Parker tells a
story concerning prodigal expendi-
tures in politics. A rich man who
had been nibbling at the Democratic
nomination for governor of New York
asked William C. Whitney's advice.
Phis is the advice: "Of course, you
ought to run! Make your preliminary
canvass, and when you have put in
$200,000 you will have become so
much interested in it that you will
feel like going aheud and spending
some money.”

Failed In Health
“My mother died six years ago,” writes Miss Ruth
Ward, of Jerseyville, 111., ‘‘and left nie to care for six
children. I had never been strong; and this, with the shock
of her death, was too much for me.
“1 failed in health. 1 was tired all the time and did
not want to go anywhere, nor care for company. I had
the headache all the time and such bearing-down pains.
“A very dear friend advised me to take Cardul, as it
had done her so much good, so I commenced to use it
and now 1 am in good health.”

Cured by Cuticura in Three Weeks,
“At first an eruption of small pus-
tules commenced on my hands. Theso
spread later to other parts of my body,
and the Itching at times was intense,
so much so that I literally tore the
skin off in shreds In seeking relief.
The awful Itching interfered with my
work considerably, and also kept me
awake nights. I tried several doc-
tors and used a number of different
ointments and lotions but received
practically no benefit. Finally I set-
tled down to the use of Cuticura Soap,
Cuticura Ointment and Cuticura Pills,
with the result that in a few days all
itching had ceased and in about three
weeks’ time all traces of my eruption
had disappeared. I have had no trou-
