Changes for Good in Te Years. In the six years from 1900 t to 1906 the value ot farm proj erty in the Minted States at vanced from $20,400,000,000 $28,000,000,000, a gain ot $7 600,000,000. This bear in mint is the ga n in value of property and does not t.ake into accoui the great profits which the tarn ers have made on their crops t< each year since 1000. It is story of marvelous developmen This gain ol $7 ,GOO,000,000 more than two thirds as grei as the total deposits in all tl: national, istate private and sa' ings banks antl all the loan an trust companies in the count r combined. Vast as is the indu trial progress of the Unite States, the total investment i all the manufacturing interest ol the country is $14,000,000 000, or less than twice as muc as tlie actual gain in the vah of farm property in six year More than that, the entire cap talization, stocks and bonds, < all the railroads of the Unite States is about $12,000,000,0C to $13,000,000,000, and tli farmers have added to tho vali; o! their property within 6 year without counting their annui profits during that time, tw< i thirds as much as the total capitalization of our vast railroad system, which represents one8* halt ol the railroad mileage of 8 the world. And the vast increase in wealth which the farm1S ers have made is but an indica? tion of what wiil be the enlianceu meut in the coming years. Just as the railrods went through receiverships and bankruptcies some years ago, so the farmers e had their years of hard times, g and as the railroads have come out of poverty into great pros t perity, so the larmerr are now l" reaping their harvest of enJ iiauced values and of an ever increasing demand for their proPUCtS.
