WASHINGTON, tt C.. Aug. 10.? I
The total value of the crops of Co? '
ttnental United BtaSagln 1909 was. in 4
round numbers, 951*87,000,000, aa (
compared with 8t.t99.000,000 In t
1599. The Increase waa thus $1,- 1
455,000,000, or 85 ptt cent., accord- '
Ins to a statement leaped today by E. i
Dana Durand, Director of the Bureau i
of the Census, Department of Com- I
merce and Labor. The tabulations 1
! showing these total results were car- j
! ried on in the asrlcottural division of
, the Bureau of the Census.'under the \
isaasajiSfe'Sai!
eapei 1 bpOslal scent. bulletin upon j
Which this sdvanoe statement Is
based, showing' the details of aeret ,
ace, production and value of all crops
for the United SUtea. by States. will
I be issued st an early date.
In the case of somp crops (such aa
j maple sugar and syrup and forest
products of farms), It Is Impossible
to secure a usable figure showing
I acreage; In certain other cases (speh
as orchard traits, grapes, tropical
fruits and nuts), the number of trees
and vines of bearing and not of bearing
age Is secured in lieu of acreage
The value of the crops for which reports
of acreage were secured
amounted In 1909 to $4,953,000,000,
or nearly nlne^tenths of the value of
Iall crops. At the census of 1900 the
corresponding value was 93,721,000,
vvv. or huuui me same per cent, or
the value of all crops, fhe total acreage
of crops with acreage reports in
1909 was 311.291.000. In April.
1910. the land id farms in the United
States was reported by the census as
878.798,000 acres, of which 478,452,000
acres were improved. The
crops with acreage reports, therefore,
occupied 35.4 per cent, of the total
land In farms and 65.1 per cent, of
the total improved land. The same
crops in 1899 occupied 283,218,000
acres, which was 33.8 per cent, of all
land in farms and 68.3 per cent, of
all land'ln farms and 68.3 per cent,
of the Improved land. While the total
acreage of farms Increased 4.8
per cent., the acreage in these crops j
Increased 9.9 per cent, between 1899
and 1909. The Improved land not
occupied by the crops specified consists
chlfclly of land in Improved pastures,
land occupied by fruit and
nut trees and vines, for which acreage
was not reported, improved land
lying follow, and land in house yards
and barnyards.
The total value of crops in 1909
iwas equal to |59.66 per capita of
the population of the United States,
while the value per capita in 1899
was 139.46 (based in the population
of the United States on April
IS, 910, and June 1. 1900, respectively)
There were 6,861,802 farms
in the United States lit 1910, so that
the value of crops of 1909 was equal
to an average of 8862 pes- farm,
while the average value of crops per
farm for 1699 was 9882.
The census has made no attempt
to aeoertaln the total net value of
farm products for 1909, including
both that of crops and animal products.
lferpty to add the value of
these tsr<f*groupe of products together
would involve extensive dopltca:

Lion, since large quantities of the
crop* reported are fed to the animals

live-stock products. It Is impossible
to Ascertain accurately the amount

to do so. which was made at the
rwelfth Census, was not considered I

might be inferred from the fact that,
while the acreage of crape with acreage
reports increased only 9.9 per
cent., the value of such crops Increased
82 per cent. It also appears
by comparing the percentages of increase
in the quantity of the various
Individual crops with the percentages
of Increase in the value. Thus, for
all cereals taken together, the production
increased only 1.7 per cent.,
while the value increased 79.8 per
cent.; for hay and forage the production
increased 23 per cent, and
the value 70.2 per cent.; and for cotton
(not counting cotton seed) the
production increased 11.7 per cant,
and the value 117.3 per cent.
A more precise calculation of the
ovargira In^roo.o It* nnW ualna.
crops haa, however, been made by the
Census Bureau.
For the Individual crops for which
both quantity produced and value
were reported at both censuses, the
average value per unit in 1899 was
computed and this was multiplied
into the quantity produced in 1909,
thus showing the total value which
woul dhave been reported for each
crop in 1909 if the acreage* value per
unit had ben the same as ten years
were not reported separately in 1899,
earlier. For certain crops, the values
and for certain other crops quantities
were not reported at either census,
but the analysis covers ninetenths
of the crops oft he country as
measured by value.
The total reported value of the
crops covered by the computation in
1899 was $2,891.9790.00, and. the
total reported value of the same
crops In 1909 was $4,934,490,000,
an Increase of 83.3 per cent. Had
the prices of 1899 prevailed, however,
the value of these crops in
1J09 would have ^mqunted to $2,962,358,000,
or an increase of only
10 per cent, over 1899. The difference
betwen $2,962,368,000 and $4,934,490,000,
or $1,972,132,000. represents
the amount added to the
value of these crops In 1909 by reason
of increase In prices over those
of 1899, the average percentage of
increase in prices being thus 66.6.

Hon. W. M. Bond Speaks Tonight
In Advocacy of Simmons
for Senate.
| A rich treat It in store for the
citisens of . Washington at the 'jfl
Court House this evening, the
occasion being the address of Han. '' *1
W. M. Bond, of Edenton, N. C., one
of North Carolina's most gifted
speakers, who is to speak upon the
senatorial question. Mr. Bond is a
strong.advoeate for the return of the
present senior senator, Hon. P. M.
Simmons, to the U. 8. Senate, and
tonight he proposes to tell the citizens
his reasons for the faith that is
within him. It is needless to state
on the part of the Daily News that
Mr. Bond is an entertaining speaker
as he has on more than one occasion
addressed the people of this section
Not only is he strong in argument
but .he entertains and amuses at the
same time. He knows what be desires
to say and then has the faculty
of presenting it in such a manner as
to attract and please.
The speaking is billed to begin
promptly at 8:30 o'clock and the
speaker of the evening will be presented
by Norwood L. Simmons, a
rising young attorney of the local
bar. All our citizens should turn
out and hear the senatorial question
discussed from all points and there
is no better opportunity to be presented
than tonight when Mr. Bond
occupies the rostrum.
Not only are the men-folk invited.
but the ladies as well.
A (treat fight for the seat in the
-United States Senatb is now being
fought and It behooves everyone to
hear all sides.

the month the Ohio State fair is to
be held in the City of Columbus. ** [3
Ohio. This MMsi exhibit;in that v+f*
State always carries with It interest
in that exhibits are shown from all
sections of the United States and the
consequence has been that many citizens
of the progressive commonwealth
have sought homes elsewhere,
particularly is this true with reference
to Eastern Carolina.
The exhibition of Beaufort county
and Washington at the fafr this
year is particularly attractive One
of our most enthusiastic townsmen
and a former citizen of Ohio, Mr. W. |
M. Hear, to great expense to himself
has gathered quite an elaborate display
of products from this section for
exhibition and this paper believes that
the result of his untiring efforts will
result in "something doing" within
the near future.
Mr. Rear bolleves in the future of
Eastern Carolina and for weeks be
has been showing his belief by his
works In that his exhibit will compare
favorably with any shown from
the Old North State.
Mr. Rear has sent specimens from
Beaufort and Martin counties that are
surely a credit. He sent specimens
of sweet potatoes, tobacco, cotton mil
jlet, three specimens of alfalfa. The
I corn sent is the very finest seen in
i this section in years. To use the~Wcpression
