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.
