THE FARMERs INTERESTS.
The report OF the secretary OF agricul.
ture deserves especial attention in view
| OF the fact that tae o r has been marked
in u very unusual manner by agitation
and Organization among tho farmers,
looking TO an increase 10 tho prof OF
their business. IL will be found That the
efforts OF the departments have been IN
tell'genlly and zealously devoted to the
promotion of their Interests entrusted 10
It's care. A very substantial improve
mcnt in the market prices Of the
leading farm products during the year IL
noticed. The price OF wheat advanced
from 81 in October. 1889, to 1909 ia DC.
tober, 1890: corn from 81 cents to 60t
cents; oats from l9t cents TO AZ cents ani
barley from CD cents To 10 cents. Meats
showed a substantial. but not 30 large AN
increase. The expert trade In live AMI
mails and fowls shows very large in
crease. The total value OF such exports
for the year ending June 80. $500, was
$50, 900 900, and the Increase over tbs
preceding year was over 5l5, 0OD, 900
Nearly 200, 600 more cattle and over 49,.
| U0J more hogs were reported than Ia the
| preceding year. The export trade In
beef and PORK products aud in dairy pro.
ducts was very largely Increased the In
| crease in butter alone being from 1904
! 0j3 pounds TO 81, 74S, 04s pounds. and the
total increase in value OF meat anil dairy
exports exported being s34 0O0, 900.
| This trade. 80 directly helpful TO the
| farmer it Is believed will DO yet further

vision, now provided by Law, Ia brought
| fully into operation. The efforts OF the
secretary TO establish the healthfulness
! of our meats against the disparaging i'm
| putstions put upon them abroad have re-
suited in substantial progress. Vetcrin-
| airy surgeons sent out by the department
are now allO wed To participate Ia ins pcc-

| BEET SUGAR INDUSTRY.
The Information by the secretary OF
the progress and prospects of the beet

already passed the experimental stage

over which the sugar beet can be sue
cessfully cultivated is very large. and
another Fl I'D crop Is offered to the

That the results Of this legislation will
be the quickening and enlargement Of
our m manufacturing industries iarger and
better msrkets for our breadstuffs and
provisions both at home and abroad,
more constant employment aud better
wages for our working people and an
increased supply OF a safe currency for
the transaction Of business / do not

acted at 30 late period that the benei-
cial effects upon The commerce which
were IN contemplation by congress have

selves The general trade and industrial
conditions throughout ths country DIR
