GREAT YEAR FOR THE PARMER.
Figures concerniue- the farms of
the United States for 1913 and em
anating from the statistical bureau
of the agricultural department talk
tc us agiiin In billions. The aggre
gate value of farm products for the
year is put at 110,000,000,000; the
aggregate cash income of the farm
ers of the United States is put at
$3,000,000,000. Crops, proper,
reached a value cf $3,100,000,000.
the value of cereals alone running t
$-,S96,000,000; the animals sold
brought $3,650,000,000. It is dif
ficult to grasp the full meaning of
these enormous figures; much eas
ier will it be to take in the aston
ishing statement that the value of
tho crop3 of tho United States in
1913 is twice as great as that of
the crops of the country in 1S99,
and $1,000,000,000 greater than the
Vi'Iue of crops iin 1909.
This tells eloquently of the story
of the advancing cost of liiving. To
use the impressive language of the
report, "despite a rceord year of
crop value—although the record of
production has fallen—and the
fact that tlie number of farms has
increased 11 per cent since 1910,
the department does not take 'the
view that a lower cost of living will
follow as a consequence". In reach
ing this conclusion it has been nec
essary, it seems to go into 3otue
abstruse reasoning, the simplified
interpretation of which is, that
prices having become accustomed to
a high level are not easily afftected
by conditions which* should, seem
ingly, make them lower.
The influences that affect the
family, that is, affect to a greater
or lesser degree, the natiion. If the
| family holds itself down to strict
economy, the task of liviing on a
moderate plane is no" so difficult.
But let it once break over the
j bounds, and there is seldom a re
| turu to the old methods of econo
mizing. The United States of Amer
ica has been living at a more and
more costly rate for the last sev
enteen years, "t now finds itself
living very close to or beyond the
"iimit of its means, and it is really
desirous of retrenching; but it finds
it a difficult matter either to begin
or to determine just where or how
to begin.
MINERS BUSY IB
WHITE VALLEY
Pt*»spectors Say Drill Would Bo
Great Aid in Locating Pay Streak.
Dawson, Jan. 31—Major Moodie,
commander of the R. N. W. M. P.
(or the Yukon, got back last even
ing from a trip up White river as
far as Suag in a light sleigh drawn
j by two horses working abreast.
I The major was accompanied by Con
stable Clifford.
"The freight", says the major,
"is moving up the White in good
fashion. The road along the riv
er is first class. Some overflows
are encountered between Danjek and
Snag, but not enough to bother. Ar
rivals at Snag raporc the trail from
there to Chisana first class for
double enders.
"I was informed that Frying Pan
creek h;us develoned pay, and that
the prospects on Ladue are very
gcod. Men on O'Brien ere down GO
to SO feet and may get something
good. Men up the Donjek are en
couraged. A drill, it seems, would
be the proper thing fci prospecting
in the White river valley. The
government drill might be put to"
good use there.
"We traveled over the Hender
son divide. The road is splandidly
cut out, but the hill is steep for
big loads, and the relay is 35
miles, requiring teams to stay out
on the divide over night. Wo cross
ed with our light rig in seven hours.
