Il. is estimated by the officials of the
Department of Agriculture that this
country sends abroad annually in the
neighborhood of four hundred million
dollars for farm products. There is
small doubt but that many of these ar.
ticles could be produced in the United
States if the American farmers had
definite information in regard to the
cost of their production and methods
of cultivation. Investigations looking
TO this information are what the Agri.
cultural Department is engaged in at
present, as it is the desire of Secretary
Wilson that as much of this four hun
dred million as possible shall be kept
at home. Mr. Wilson is proving the
most practical and popular man who
has ever been at the head of the De.
partment of Agriculture. "Uncle

riculture, appointed by President Har.

able secretary, but much of the work
