regarded as an evidence Of unfriendlt-
ness. He concludes that Justice -
we'll az proper self.respect demand such
O course" and adds that he shall IN the
absencs OF the removal OF such unlrteac-
" restrictions, feel it his duty 70 sug-
gest the rigid enforcement OF the Law
now in existence prohibiting import
into the Unitad States OF all live AMI
mails. but ut present suspended rs
matter OF friendship to foreign govern
ments.
He regards it as highly desirable thzt
the people OF foreign countries shouto
be informed OF our resources and factii-
ties for supplying theirwants, ard refers
to the work done in Great Britain during
the past year by the special agents OF the
department charged with introducing
Indian corn and its products to the a.
tention OF Europeans Us an economic
and nutritious substitute for other cereal
foods. and highly commends the work
already done In this direction. The
secretary deems 1t the duty OF his de-
partment to keep the farmer fully In
formed OF the market value OF his ware
in order that he may know before he
markets his goods just what their palne
Is.
He congratulates the country tup0n
he success OF the experiments in the
extraction Of sugar from sorghum.
There seems to be no reason, he says.
"why we should not look forward With
confidence to the day when the 81, OOOS-
600 paid TO foreign producers for sugar
should not be turned into the pockets Of
our own people,"
In all our efforts toward diversifying
our crops climatic conditions are %
play an important part, and In this COZ
nection he declares his conviction OF the
importance and value to the agriculta-
raj interests OF the transfer to this de-
partment OF the weather bureau. He
takes occasion to highly commend the
selection by the president OF Prof. Har-
rington as the chief OF the bureau.
The secretary notes with satisfaction
the general and growing interest shown
by all classes in this country in the
cause OF agriculture and the work OF his
department. He expresses q desire for
closer cooperation between the various
educational forces In the country foc
the advancement OF practical agricut-
ture and urges that the slender thread
connecting the department with the AZ
ricultral colleges and stations b
strengthened, without in any way lin
iting the independent action OF theso
institutions. He refers to the repro
sentation OF the department at the
Munich congress Of meteorologists By
Professor Harrington. He concludes
by suggesting, as these interGaticna1
congresses are biennial and their next
meeting will consequently occur In
1893. it would be highly desirable u
arrangement were made by which their
next meeting should take place in this
country on the occasion of the Colum-
f, bian fair.
