UNCLE JERRY'S ANNUAL.
Report of Secretary Nusk of the Depart
ment of Agriculture.

uent 0I Akc'culture.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2l.-Secretary
Rusk has sought to make his fourth and
last annual repo1". as head of department
Of agriculture valuable document and
has grouped together many interesting
facts to show what great agricultural
people we are and what a proper thing
it was to make the prime commissioner
of agriculture cabinet officer. He
says we sent abroad las; year two hun
dred million dollars of products more
than we had to import from foreign na-
tions, and 80 per cent. of these products
We're agricultural.
He claims some credit for that be-
cause he shows an increase of 4O, 900, 900
pounds weight of pork sent to countries
which formerly excluded American
pork and 40,0U0,UU0 dollars value i'll
crease in our exports of live cattle. All
this comes from the increased precau-
tions to secure healthfulncss of Ameri-
can food products. The regulations Of
fered for the prevention OF Texas fever
alone have saved cattle growers more
than three times the cost of running
the whole department. And as to the
suppression of pleurc- -pneumonia the
secretary grows empha.i .ic and eloquent,
notwithstanding the assertions to the
contrary Of wicked and prcjn,liccd Lon
don newspapers.
He explains why our wheat did not
realize the big hopes raised by the short
crops i'll various European countries in
1891 by saying that the anticipation of
enhanced prices failed to take into ac-
count the changed conditions now sur
rounding the production and marketing
Of the worlds wheat crop. Taking
the world throughout the fat crops more
than equalel the lean crops of 1891, so
that there was actually more wheat
grown in that year than in 1890.
Secretary Rusk throws cold water on
the rain makers. The experiments are
being Loyalty made as congress directed,
but the facts i'll his possession do not
justify the anticipations formed by the
believers in this method Of artificial
rainmaking.
AS his last word, the secretary ex-
presses his profound appreciation Of the
cordial sympathy and broad intelligence
with which the president has uniform
ally, throughout his administration,
needed the needs of agriculture.
