tinuance of methods of friendly negotiation
much may be accomplished in the direction Of

The information given by the Secretary OF the
progress and prospects OF the beet sugar in
dustry is full of interest. IL has already passed
the experimental stage and is n commercial
success. The over which the sugar beet
can be successfully cultivated il very large, and
another field crop OF great value is offered to

The Secretary of the Treasury concurs in the
recommendation of the Secretary OF Agricult-
ure that the official supervision provided by
the tariff law for eugar Of domestic production
shall be tran sferred TO the Department OF Agri-
culture.
The law relating 10 the civil service has, so

THE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE.
Farmers Prospecting.

The report Of the Secretary of Agriculture de-
serves especial attention in view OF the fact
that the year has been marked in very un-
usual degree by agitation and organization
among the farmers looking 10 an increase in
the profits of their business. 1t will be found
that the efforts OF the Department have been
intelligently and zealously devoted to the pro-
motion OF the interests intrusted to its care.
A very substantial Improvement in the mar
ket prices OF the leading farm products during
the year is noticed The price Of wheat ad-
vanced from 81 cents in October. 1889, to S1.00A
in October, 1890; corn from 81 cents 10 50l4
cents oats from 1871 cents to 43 cents, and bar
ley from 63 cents 60 rs cents. Meats showed n
substantial but not so large an increase. The ex-
port trade in live animals and fowls shows a
very large increase; the total value in such ex-
ports for the year ending June 30, $50.
was $4,000 900, and the increase over
the preceding year was over $4,000,
600. Nearly 100000 more cattle and
over 45 COD more hogs were exported than in the
preceding year. The export trade in beef and
pork products and in dairy products WAS very
largely increased, the increase in the articles OF
butter alone being from II. pounds TO 3d.
7is,Ol2 pounds, and the total increase
in the value of meat and dairy prod
ucts exported being S34 O0O,O0O. This
trade so directly helpful to the farmer, il is be-
lieved will be yet further and very largely in
creased when the system OF inspection and
sanitary suppression now provided by law is
brought fully into operation.
