FARMS OF AMERICAI
$923,000,000, compared to *867,000.000
for 1900.
‘‘The farm of the north central
states must practice better farming,
better conservation of soil and climat-
ic resources, or its productive power
will decline, and, therefore, its farm
values."
vided. which show the north central
states to have gained $5,000,000,000 in
the value of farms in the last decade,
the report says:
"Observe, however, the stupendous
totals of farm values in the north
central states, including Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minne-
sota, Iowa, the Dakotas, Nebraska and
Kansas. This last group has gained
almost an even $5,000,000000 in the i
fair worth of its farms compared to j
ten yenrs ago.
"Observe further the remarkable
fact tbat this gain represents tally
half the total gain In agricultural
values for the whole country during
tbs decade Just closed. Also the total
of value for these farm lands exceeds
the total of all the rest of the coun-
try put together.”
The figures show I hat t here were
290.000 farms in Illinois, which gave
$587,000,000 worth of products. Only
Texas anil Iowa exceed Illinois In pro-
duction.
A reason Is given for ho*h the great
increase in farm values and products
by the higher prices which have pre- j
vailed to a great extent, for "few !
people realize that the productions of
the farms in th*» United States during ,
1909 conservatively represent twice !
the value of 1899."
The wonderful recovery from the
lower basis of produce values which
characterized the last i'ew decades is .
called to the attention of the public. |
•Says tbe report:
“The farm pioduoe of the year Just!
closed was worth almost four times as
much as the product of 1889. A four- j
fold increase in the value of farm pro- ,
dvict1oii3 within 20 years is also some-
thing unprecedented. The crop years
1899 and 1909 were characterized by
fairly good average conditions of cli-
mate, weather, etc., taking the coun-
try as a whole. Therefore the com-
parison is a fair one, not influenced
by a so-called bumper year.
"Conditions have changed. Amerl- !
can agriculture must change ■dth |
these conditions. Population is over- j
taking consumption. Even with this j
increase in quantity and value of farm
productions the United States ex- j
ported during 1909 a smaller quantity j
of agricultural products than in 1900.

the figures for that year showing un

savs a bulletin sent out
vious decade,
by the Orange Judd Farmer, telling of
the census of American agriculture to
be published in its January number.
The census Is gathered by practic-
ally the same means employed In the
government census, and It Is consid-
ered reliable, say the publishers.
After compiling the figures and
showing how the number of farms
has grown from l.OOo.OOO in IS59 lo
nearly 7,000.000 in 1910, and that each
decade showed an Increase in value,
the report says: “No shell increase
in agricultural land values was ever
before known in tbe history of the
world in any country.”
The report shows that the lands
have been classified into sections,
where climatic conditions and agri-
cultural products make certain areas
nave about the same increase or de-
crease as the case might be. The
most remarkable figitP-s presented
show that the western section, which
Includes New Mexico. Colorado, Wyo-
ming and Montana and other states,
has within the last decade shown an
increase In the number of farms of
100 per cent. At the same time the
value has increased 98 per cent, and
products 211 per cent.
Against this lucrease of 98 per
cent in values of farm* Is shown an
.ncrease of 58 per cent, in the south
cen.ral and 43 per cent, in the north
central states. Even in the North
Atlantic states there haa been an in-
crease of value of 13-per cent.
