Americain made farm im plements, even -though in many in ,tances higher in price than those of foreigii nanutfacture. are almost in -:ariably preferred on account of their greater efficiency and durabil y. That a comprehensive knowledge might be gained of the values of Anieriean implement exports (luclud :ng farm machinery of every descrip hion) lhe following is not irrelevant: During the month of May, 1909, the value of agricultural implements .exported from the United States amounted to $2,359.751. representing gain of approximately 15 per cent. ;%er the same month the previous vear. For the first eleven months of The past fiscal year. the value of im plements exported was $23,844.659, as compared with $22,565,652 for the -orrespondiiig period last year. This shors a very !healthy increase in our 1-npiement exports of over a guarter :,f a million of dollars-not a great deal in proportion to the total it is true. but showing nevertheless that the demand for American made goods abroad is steadily increasing. although during the previous year-1907-the value of exports was a li:tle less. doubtless occasioned by the unset Iled conditions mentioned in the fore going. But note -lie comparatively small decerase: in 1907 our exports atmounted to $24,284,992. Russia still takes the lead in im plement exports fi-om 'the United States, 'having purchased during the eleven months ended May 31st imple ments to the value of $4,838.176. Ar gentina comes second in purchases to the amount of $4,450,636. France ranks third, having taken implements to the value of something over $3, 4300,000. So much for the implement indas-. try at the present time. The Future. We have studiously followed the fransitory stages marking the evolu I ion of the plow, from tlhe time of the forked stick up to the latest improve ments in chilled and st-eel walking and riding~ plows as well as the large gang lows operated with trac:ion en gines plowing 12 to 20 furrows at a time: we have noted the marked dis pJarity in the farm tools of even 50 years agoI and as used at the present time.. the contrast being appallinag rather than marvelous: we have re marked with i-nterest the improve ments white have characterized the efforts of ':plow wright " inventors and manufacturers in order to meet the growing demands of agriculture; we have seen the enormous increase in farm products this year over any oth er91 period, for the period of three years ending with 1909. the showing made beilig truly remaarkahle and tun precedented in the history of any countryv; with keen in: erest .Gave we 'taken no0te of the fact that the de mand for farm machinery is greater. to-day thaun ever before. which will cninune. as lhas been shown, in order o) !lee the demand'lI(s lif a pro)sperIIus 'ear p)erfect as hiumant ingennlity c:n mnake themn at t100 present timne-cer ~ainly theyv are well adapted :o our >resen1t requairemnents. but1 wVit theI -'hanged eonditions which will nece. i-arily be broughl~1t about in the I'u: m-. m ay have to be emloyed(I.

Knapp. chief of the co-opera:ive demonstrative wirk for the department of aariculiture in the SoutII. after the cnference withll See re:arv W;ils'n said that ihe serI111 falling off in the figures. especially for Louisiana and Mississippi. were due to two conditions. One was the excesive rainfall in the early part of the cotton crop season. followed by a serious drought. and the second was thew failure f (ittim planters to ob t ain advances n t-]eir crop f froml banker;. The la.t ter reason force(l the planters it dismiss a consitierable part of their labor at a time wheu the boll weevil was a most serious p)est. Dr. Kinapp stated that another rea son. which induced a falling off in the g-eneral average of Louisiana was that. there was practically thirty per cent. less of acreage in cotton than iu previous year:s. The boll weevil did serious damage d(uring the past year hi the southwest erli quarter of 1ississippi. "In my judgment,'' said Dr. Knapp, "the really serious trouble, which applies to all of the cotton States, was brought about the the ex eessive rainfall i-n the early part of the season and the excessive droughit in the latter part. In some of the States planters scarcely could obtain water enough for their live stock. This was particularly true of Texas andl Okla'homa. What is known as the New Orleans storm. which passed up through portions of Louisiana and Western M1ississippi blew out im mense quantities of cotton. and served seriously to detract from the excel lence of the crop." Secretary Wilson declied to make any statement regarding the figures iven out by his .department. He said hiaL he would talk about the wheat rop, about the condition of cattle in he West and about almost auything se but eotton. He said that Dr. napp k-new more about the~ cotton rop from practical observance of onditions in the South than any oth ri man in the depar.:menin and lie had nthing to add to the statement made y him.
