World-Wide Dlstrlbutloo ol American Farm and Factory Products Interesting Facts. The contributions which the people of the United Staies"are making to the comforts and re quirements of the daily life of those in other parts of the world are scarcely realized even by thos'e supplying the articles so contribuded. How little does the girl or woman employed in the factory realize that the cotton cloth being manufactured with her co-opperation is to become a holiday dress for some other girl or .woman in Chinia or India, or the Philippines, or South Afri ca, or the Islands of the East or West Indies! How little does the boy or man who engages in the daily round of farm life realize that the bacon to be made from pigs whitch he feeds is to go into the homes of Liberia, and Portu guese Africa, and French Oceania and Asiatic Russia, or that the eggs which he collects may be ex ported to British Guiana, or Peru, or Cuba, or Central America, or the various countries of Europe! Yet these and many other curious and interesting incidents of the neighborly interchanges between our own people and those of other and distant parts of the world are shown as part of the every year. all. the year round routine of trade recorded by the Bureau of Statistics of the Department of Commerce and Labor. its annual volume, "Commerce anoT i Navigation of the United States," which it supplies free of charge to those desiring it for study of our foreign commerce, shows many curious things about our trade with tl.e various parts of the world. It is interesting for example, to see that the American mule goes to Africa,, Australia, the Island of Oceania, British, Dutch, and French Guia na, Ecuador, Brazil, Haiti, Costa Rica, and British Honduras for service on the roads and planta tions. American candles, of which the exportations amount to from 3 to 8 million pounds a year are lighting homes in Japan. Korea, Siberia, Tasmania, Vene zuela, the Dutch West Indie.?, Salvador, the Philippines and French possessions in Africa American brooms and brushes are making clean the floors and dusting the garments of dwellers in Turkey, Roumania, Malta, the Azores Islands, Egypt, Spanish possessions in Africa, German Is lands in the Pacific, Hongkong, and Santo Domingo.- American peanuts, of which the exporta tions range from 5 to 7 million pounds a year, go to British In dia, the Guianas in South Ameri ca, the Danish West Indies, Gua temala, Labrador, the Island of Bermuda, and the Belgain Kongo in Africa. American boots and shoes, of which the exports range above 10 million dollars .. a year, do in increasing quantities to every part of the world, . Hong kong, Siam, Japanese territory in China, Java and Sumatra, the Straits Settlements, Australia and New Zealand, German poses sions in Africa, Liberia, Brazil. Paraguay, Mexico, Canada, and practically every" country of Eu rope."' American wind mills,, of which more than a million dollars worth are exported every year, are seen in-South Africa, the Canary Islands, Turkey iii Asia, French China, Haiti ' Santo Do mingo, Turkey in, Europe.- Swit zerland. Roumania, Greece and Greenland. And 60 we might fi on extend-1 ing the list indefinitely, enumera ting products of the .American farm and factory which are be-r ing sent to other parts of the world, and these articles would include sewing machines, type writers, motor boats, organs, pianos, pianolas, soap, perfume ly. oranges, raisins, prunes, chewing gum, toys, and many other equally curious and interes tir.g articles, to suy nothing of tho ereat classes making up the grand total of more than 767 mil lion dollars worth of rnanufactu res, 565 million dcllars worth of raw materials, and 370 million dollars worth of foodstuffs. Of raw cotton alone the year's ex ports amonted to 450 million dol lars; of meat and dairy products, 130 million; of wheat and corn, partly in the grain and partly in the form of flour and meal, near ly 125 million, of iron and steel manufactures, 180 million; of pe troleum and other mineral oils. 100 million; and of copper manu factures, nearly 90 million dollars, and so on down the list. The countries, colonies and other ter ritorial divisions to which these articles go, as shown-in the vol ume," Commerce and Naviga tion of the United States," above alluded to, are over 100 in num ber, and it would be difficult to find in any part of the world a country in which some article or articles of American production are not being sold. The articles which people of other countries send to the Uni ted States in return will be dis cussed next week. 1 mm From Upper Northampton.
