VALVE OF SOUTHERN CROPS.
According to the Manufacturers'
Record the crops of the South grown
last year were worth about 1 2,560,
000,000. The Record gives the fol
lowing figures: Five months ago the
Manufacturers' Record estimated
that the value of agricultural pro
ducts in the South in 1909 was $2,
550.000,000. Later figures Indicate
that the estimate was not far from
the actual facts. The later estimate
is based upon the figures for certain
selected crops ? cotton, corn, wheat,
opt?, barley, rye, buckwheat, flax
seed, rice, potatoes, hay. and ^obacco.
"The total value of these selected
crops in 1,909 was $1,484. 580,000, an
Increase of $712,802,000, or at the
rate of 92.4 per cent 'over the $771,
778,000 value of 1S99. That latter
value was less than 61 per cent ol
the total $1,271,654,000 value of all
southern agricultural products In
1 899.' Estimating, as Is reasonable
the Increase of other agricultural
products not Included in the selected
crops at the same rate as the selected
ones would give a total value in 190S
of sf 2, 4 46,3 4 1.000, which Is probablj
something less than the actual value
"In the selected crops there was at
increase of 1909 over 1908 of but
$254,718,000. or by 5.8 per cenj., in
the whole country, and of but $31,'
661.000, or by 2.1 per cent In th?
South.
"Poor seasons for grain fcnd other
crope showed their effect In ' the
Southern total In spite of the increas
ed price of the short crop of cotton.
The year 1909 is, therefore, hardly
a fair one for a comparison of South
ern agricultural values with other
years. Nevertheless, the figures of
1899 and 1909 reveal rather satis
factory progress, the Increase in these
years for the whole South having
been from $771.77S.OOO to $1,484.
580,000, or by 92.4 per cent, while
the increase for the whole country
was (Yom $2,511,155,000 to $4,652,
057,000. or by R5.3 per cent. In the
selected crops Texas ranked in 1909
second of all the States In the coun
try with its $316,793,000 value, or
only $20,292,000 less than the Illi
nois value. Its increase in the 11
year? was at the rate of 109 per cent.
That percentage was exceeded In the
South by South Carolina's 112 per
cent.' Georgia's 128 or.d West Vir
ginia's 113 per cent. The highest
rate of Increase In any one State ^Jn
the 11 years was that of Idaho, 311
per' cent, but the total value of
ho's selected crops in 1909 was bu(
$32. 906.000, which Is less than th*
total of any Southern State save that
of Florida. It Is Interesting to note
that the Increase of 202 per cent In
Oklahoma in the 11 years brought
the value of Its selected crops to
$122,033,000. which was exceeded in
1909 only by the values In Texas,
Georgia, and Kentucky, and was
greater than the value In any South
ern State, except Texas, In 1899."

THE TRAINED NURffi.
The honor* paid to Florence Night
ingale on her ninety-firat birthday
serve to recall how brief has been
the period during which the sick have
had the benefit of the competent
nursing on which their recovery so
largely depends.
It Is impossible to conceive of mod
ern medical practice without the aid
of trained nursea. Their efficiency
has undoubtedly been an important
factor In the increased curability of
disease. Yet but little more than
half a century has elapsed since Miss
.Nightingale set out for the Crimea
on the mission which was to revolu-i
tlonlze hospital work, and It was notj
until 1872 that the first class of1
trained nurses was graduated from
the Bellevue Training 8chool.
From these small begianlngs has
grown within a generation the great
humanitarian profession for women
for which they have shown a special
aptitude and to which they are at
tracted In annually increasing num
bers. Nursing is one of the most
lucrative of women's occupations,
one of the most responsible and one
calling for Intelligence of a high or
der. the duties of a trained nurse un
der the present requirements of the
profession making her the physician's
deputy at the sick-bed.
The influence of the woman whom
England p.* also the civilized world
tonor* beyond p*r%af? all ot4?r? ,h*?
extended to ' evei^ sick-room. She
gave to the afflicted a new lease of
life and to her sex Ita noblest voca
