I he total value of the nation's!
annual agricultural products is!
around $12,00O,0(X),0f>0, and it i
sate to estimate that 95 cents on i
every dollar goes to meet tlie;
expenses of subsidiary industries. |
The farmer does ten work more
than‘thirty minutes per da\ for
himself; the remaining thirteen
hours of the flay s toil he devotes
to meeting the payroll of the!
hired hands of agriculture, such1
as the manufacturer, railroad,
commercial and other servants.
The Farmer's Payroll and How
He Meets It.
Ihe annual payroll of agri-j
culture approximates $12.000,tXX
000. A portion of the amount is
shifted to foreign countries in ex
ports, but ihe total payroll • *f in
dustries working for the farmer
divides substantially as mi low -

heavy miscellaneous payroll con-1

Co-operation of Church, School
and Press Essential to

The church, the press and the
school form a tripple alliance of
progress that guide- the destiny
of every community, state and
n,it, n. Without them civiliza
tioti would either and die and
! through them life may attain its
' greatest blessing, powe and
knowledge. The farmers of this
nation are greatlv indebted t
: this social triumvirate fo; its
uplifting influence, and oil be
i half of the American plowmen
! 1 want to thank tlmse engaged
i in these high callings for their
I able and efficient service, and I
j shall offer to the press a series
• articles on co-operation between
; these important influences and
j the farmers in the hope of in
| creating the eitn iem v of all by
j mutual understanding and or
I ganized effort. W e will take up

The Farmers Are Great Church
Builders.
The American farmer is the
greatest church builder the world
ha- ever known. He i- the cus
todian of the nation’* morality,
upon his shoulders rest- the “ark
of the covenant" and he is more
responsive to religious influences
than anv other class of citizen
ship.
The farmers of this nation
have built 120.000 chur> he- a’ a
