OF the insect which fertilizes the Symrns
Ig. IN one locality more than six tons
OF Symrna figs have been produced The
result Will be to make America a grand
competitor in the fig trade of the worlds
markets. An important parasite has been
introduced to prey upon the olive scale
so injurious to the olive growers Of Cal

Secretary Wilson cites the introduction
OF Wheats from Russia, Hungary and
Austria, greatly exceeding in Weld our
present varieties, and points out that If.
as the result of these introductons. the
wheat yield OF the United States should
be increased by about one bushel per
acre this would mean at the farm price
for wheat In 1899. an addition of $26,-
100000 to the income of the farmers. AS
result of experiments conducted in
Texas under the supervision of the divis-
ion of agroStOlogy the grazing OF pas
lures has been so much improved that
where three years ago they were esti-
mated as capable of supporting one steer
to sixteen acres they will now maintain
in good condition one steer to eight acres,
a gain of 100 per cent
Warning Is given of the positive dam
ger of the introduction and dissemination
of the Belgian hare, and the prairie dogs
has become a practical question Of great
interests to the farmers.
The secretary notes a keener and wider
public interest in forestry.
The total requests for working plans
for forest preservation at the close of the
year exceeded 5000a,GGO acres, of which
900 were private land. Tree planting
plans were made for tifty-nine applicants.
There is much inquiry in all sections
regarding better roads and better meth
DDS of building them, and much work has
been done in the past year in building
governmental roads.
Considerable space is given in the re-
port TO the work of the experiment sta
tions. Progress is noted in Alaska. 1t is
admitted that Alaska can never become
an agricultural country, but the problem
the department has undertaken to work
out is to deter mine whether a sufficient
agriculture may be developed in Alaska
to form an important subsidiary industry

cattle tick. In Texas alone more than
&57, coo cattle were Inspected for shipment
to other sections. The sheep industry
has suffered severely from sheep scab
and much time ana attention have been
given TO furthering its control and eradi-
cation. Results so far are encouraging
and the secretary believes that a few
more years of earnest work will eifectuaI-
" eradicate the disease. More than
1,8O0,OG0 sheep were inspected and nearly
627,000 dipped under the supervision of
the inspectors
The work of preparing serum for treat
ing hog cholora and swine plague and
experiments in treatment Herewith are
continued with results which while they
don't justify definite conclusions as yet,
are sufficiently encouraging to justify
continued experiments, including some on
entirely new lines. Over 1,O0J090
doses of black leg vaccine have been
distributed during the year. Summarized
reports of. 1000 cattle owners testify to
it's efficiency. Whereas a loss of 10 to
25 per cent Of young stock is reported
in the districts where black leg prevails,
the loss where vaccination has been tried
has been less than one half of one per
cent. Considerable space is given to
the consideration Of tuberculosis, "the
most prevalent and most destructive dis
ease affecting mankind and the dome IL
Gated animals A great increase in the
disease is noted in the principal coun-
tries OF Europe, especially, unfortunately
in those whence American breeders de-
sire to obtain animals for improving

Experimental stations of daily pro

QUESTION HIS ELIGIBILITY.
School superintendent Right to Of
fee Questioned.

JAMESTOWN, NJ D.. Nov. 29.-The
question has been raised as to whether
an elector of the city of Jamestown is
eligible for superintendent of schools.
Section II Of the political code says that
no person is eligible to Office who is not
an elector. Section 63S says that amy
voter residing in an independent school
district organized under special act
having a board of education and city su-
perintendent of Schools shall not be
ent of schools" The Jamestown school
of the legislature of 1883, and amended in
1885, but not to affect the question.
If the point raised is valid in law, it
is likely to affect the election of County
superintendent Lyon, as he is a resident
Of Jamestown. The solution seems to be
that either the present city school su-
perintendent's Office and proceedings
transacted Hereunder are Questionable
as to legality, or no resident of James,
town is eligible to the office of county
superintendent Of Stutsman county. 1t
is probable that there will be a contest
and that the question will come before
the supreme court for decision.
County Superintendent Lyon claims
that there is nothing in the point raised
He claims that the law affects only
Fargo, Wahpeton and Grafton, and that
in Fargo electors vote for county super
intendent of schools. The law has never
been passed upon by the courts, but Mr..
Lyon is confident it will be held uncon-
stitutional by the supreme court, as it
is special legislation.

WASHINGTON, Nov 29.-The annual

tural department, made today, begins with
complimentary reference to the work
of his predecessors which has brought

reason that they make direct returns
therefor by adding TO the wealth of the
country.
Important extensions of the weather
bureau have been made during the year
Much stress is laid upon the continued
Improvement OF the forecast service and
the value Of its warnings. The secretary
points out that, Notwithstanding the
great number of craft plying the Gulf
of Mexico at the time of the Galveston
storm, the warnings were so timely that
there was no disaster upon the open
waters. Successful experiments have
been made with wireless teIegraphy.

IRRIGATION.
Much consideration is given in the re-
port to the irrigation investigations,
which cover specially two general lines
Of inyestiga ton, namely the study OF the
laws and institutions relating to irriga-
tion in different regions, and, secondly,
the determination Of the actual use made
or irrigation.
Eight streams in different parts of Call
fornia hare been thoroughly studied in
reference TO the conditions under which
the water for irrigation is owned, dis
tributed and used. Similar investigations
on smaller scale have been made in
Utah, Colorado and elsewhere. The
use of irrigation to supplement rainfall
in the humid regions is growing and VAL
liable Investigations have been UNDER
taken in Missouri and Wisconsin
The secretary calls attention to the
fact that on the supply Of water for irri-
cation and its equitable distribution de-
pends the permanent expense of civilized
life in one-third of the area OF the Union.
Throughout this vast region questions re-
lating to irrigation are vital to the ulti-
mate solution of its problems, and must
be found not only in state legislation but
in the action Of the national government.
Under this section Of general markets
the report says: The study of markets
abroad, with special reference to extend
ing the demands therein for the agricul-
tural products of the United states, has
been prosecuted with zeal and inteJll-
gence The rapid growth of our export
trade to the Orient in recent years is
most striking Five years ago our total
