GOOD TIMES COMING FOR FARMERS.
Secretary Rusk Points Out the Bene-
fits of Recent Legislation.
His Departments Success In Its
Struggle With Animal Diseases.
The President Says the Nation Has
Cause for Thanksgiving.

WASHINGTON, November 9.-The Secre-
tar, of Agriculture in his annual report ex-
presses hopeful view of agricultural affairs
Indicating the obvious benefits to farmers of
certain legislation which he specifies, he as
serts that it is evident the economic legsla-
tion of the last session of Congress has di-
rectly benefited the farmers. The improved
value of cereals. as he believes. is largely due
to the silver legislation which, moreover, has
lessened the influence of Russia and India,
our wheat competitors, in the British mar
kets. Our increased export trade in cattle
and animal products he traces to the ener-
getic and effective measures adopted for the
eradication lo-pneumonia. and the
growing appreciation at home and abroad Of
the departments ability to suppress, or eff
fectually control, contagious animal diseases
Similar energy has been directed to the pork
interests. The secretary strongly recommends
an inspection law still more comprehensive
of all animals slaughtered for interstate or
foreign trade. The secretary considers the
outlook favorable for the home sugar indus
try and predicts in the near future that half
our sugar will be produced from native cane,
sorghum and beets. In the provisions of the
tariff bill Secretary Rusk finds what he re-
CARDS as some glariDg inconsistencies in that
1t gives entire control of sugar manufactur-
ing and bounty payments to a subordinate
officer of the treasury department in spite Of
the fact that heretofore the department of
agriculture has been charged with the gen.
eral supervision of the industry, both in its
cultural and manufacturing phases. The
bill makes it the duty of the Secretary of the
Treasury, furthermore, to furnish regula
tions as to the importation of animals, the
inspection of which devolves upon
officers of the Department of Agricul-
ture, and to decide upon questions invol-
wing familiarity with the subject of animal
diseases at home and abroad, whereas the
secretary of agriculture is the only officer
required by law to be informed as to the ex-
istence of animal diseases in foreign eoun-
tries, and as to the possibility or probabil-
ity of such diseases being communicated to
our domestic animals
In concluding the report, he says: 81 feel
