The Secretary OF Agriculture deserves
especial atte stion IN view Of the fact that
the year has teen marked in q very unusual
degree by agitation and organization
among the farmers looking 10 increase the
profits OF their business. II viii be found
that the efforts Of The department have
been intel hgently and ze.llously devoted 10
the tromotion OF the interests entrusted
70 us care. A very substantial Improve
ment In the market prices OF the leading
farm products during the year Is noticed
The price Of wheat advanced from 81 cents
In October. lsSs, 10 sl.o0aI in October. lS9D, !,
corn from BE 10 5OHc; oats from l9i%c 10
sc, and barley from Glc TO 7sc. Meats
showed . substantial, but not so large an
increase. The export trade 10 live anIrnsls
and fowls shows very large increase; the
totM value Of such exports for the year
ending June 30, 1890, was 30 million dollars,
and the increase over tha preceding year
was over Is million dollars. Nearly 200 900
more cattle and over IS .0D0 more hogs were
exported than in tbs preceding year.

very largely increased Tho increase ia
the article Of butter alone being from 49,
5D4.97S pounds 10 20, 74s OLE pounds, and the
total increase In the value ol meat and
dairy products exported being "a million
dollars. This trade, so directly helpful to
the farmer. ii Is believed win be yet further
and very largely increased when the sys-
tenn OF inspection and sanitary supervision
now provided by Law is brought fully into
operation. The efforts of the Secretary 10
establish the healthfulnt,ss OF our meats
against the disparaging inputations that
have been put upon them abroad have re-
suited in substantial progress. Veterinary
surgeons sent out by the department are
now allowed TO participate in the inspec-
tion Of the cattle from this country landed
At English docks, and during the several
months they have been On duty no case OF
Contagious pleuro-pneum,nia has been re.
ported. This inspection abroad and the
domestic inspection Of live animals and
pork products provided for by the act OF
August 20, isa0. will afford as perfect
guaranty for the wholestmeuess OF meats
offered for foreign consumption as Ia any
where given TO any food product, and it's
non-acceptanee win quite clearly reveal the
real motive II any; In The continued re.
strictlor OF their use: and, that having
been made clear, the duty Of the executive
will be very plain.
YHE BEET SUGAR INDUSTRY.
The information given by tho secretary
OF the progress OF the beet sugar industry
Is full Of interest. II has already passed
the experimental stage and is commercial
success. The area over which the sugar
beet can be successfully cultivated Is very
large, and another field crop Of great value
Is offered TO the choice OF the farmer The
secretary Of the treasury coneurs in the
recommendation Of the secretary OF agri-
culture that the official supervision proyid-
ed by the tariff law for sugar Of domestic
production shall be transferred 70 tho de.
partment Of agriculture.
