In short. 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-.

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

years ending with 1909. the showing

After the announcement by the de
partment of agriculture of the Jig
ur0es reording tlhe averaze for this
moath.. Dr. S. A. 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.
