ROOSEVELT ON AGRICULTURE

President Roosevelt's message con-
tanned the following references to the
agricultural interests of the country:
work in recent years has there been
greater success than in that of Civ
ing scientific aid to the farming popu
lation, thereby showing them how
most efficiently to help themselves
There is no need of insisting upon it's
Importance, for the welfare of the
farmer is fundamentally necessary for
the welfare of the Republic as whole.
In addition to such work as quaran-
tine against animal and vegetable
plaques, warning against them when
here introduced, much efficient help
has been rendered to the farmer by
the introduction of new plants spec
Tally fitted for cultivation under the
peculiar conditions existing in differ
ent portions of the country. New &C.
reals have been established in the
seml-arid West. For instance, the
practicability of producing the best
types Of macaroni wheats in regions
of an annual rainfall of only 10 inches
or thereabouts has been conclusively
demonstrated. Through the introduce
ton of new rices in Louisiana and
Texas the production of rice in this
country has been made to about equal
the home demand. In the Southwest
the possibility of regrassing over
stocked range lands has been dem
onstrated; in the North many new
forage crops have been introduced,
while in the East it has been shown
that some of our choicest fruits can be

lod more Washington than Eastern or

ooob Of the three cities was supplied
with cheese by outside factories.
The amount of dairy products
handled in Seattle during the past
vaor makes an interesting showing.
There we're 1,799,909 pounds of Wash

cheese and 627,024 pounds OF Califor-
mia and Oregon cheese.
Speaking of the milk supply of the
state the commissioner declares:
"There is no more important work
than the purifying of the milk supply.
The quality of milk sold in Seattle, Ia
coma and Spokane is above that re-
uuired by law"
AS pure food commissioner Mr.. Nc
Donald strongly urged some dcIlon oh
the part of the legislature to prohibit
tbe introduction of short weights and
measures and asks that an amendment
TO the pure food act be made so as to
add to his duties that of inspecting
weights and measures. Speaking of
this question he says:
cat the present time the package
does not indicate the amount con-
tanned therein. For example, packages
containing pickles, marked five gallons
do not contain more than from three
to three and one half gallons. Butter
in prints supposed to weigh two
pounds does not weigh more than
twenty-eight ounces. 1ne same may
be said of many other lines of goods"
An amendment to the pure food law
to cover the sale of vinegar is recon-
mended and it is urged that a strict
line be drawn and all varieties be
closely defined Commissioner McDOn-
aid is satisfied that the pure food law
is being obeyed more strictly and that
the sale of adulterated food is rapidly
diminishing.

IRRIGATION and Land Laws.

Few subjects of more Importance
have been taken up by Congress
in recent years than the Inauguration
of the system of Nationally aided ir-
rigation for the arid regions of the
far West. A good beginning therein
has been made. Now that this policy
of National irrigation has been adopt
ed, the need of thorough and scientific
forest protection will grow more rapid
ly than ever throughout the public
land states.
So far as they are available for agri-
culture, and to whatever extent they
may be reclaimed under the National
irrigation law the remaining public
lands should be held rigidly for the
home-builder, the settler who lives on
his land, and for no one else. In
their actual use, the desert-land law,
the timber and stone law, and the
Communication clause of the homestead
law have been so perverted from the
intention with which they were enact
ed as to permit the acquisition of
large areas of the public domain for
other than actual settlers and the con-
sequent prevention of settlement.
Moreover the approaching exhaustion
of the public ranges has of late led TO
much discussion as to the best manner
of using these public lands in the West
which are suitable chiefly or only for
grazing The sound and steady devel-
opment of the West depends upon the
| hrIi1 Of
of our prosperity as Nation has been
due to the operation of the homestead
law. On the other hand, we should
recognize the fact that in the grazing
region the man who corresponds to the
homesteader may be unable to settle
permanently if only allowed to use
the same amount of pasture land that
his brother, the homesteader, is al
lowed to use of arabic land. Ono
hundred and sixty acres of fairly rich
and well-watered soil, or a much small
Ter amount of irrigated land, may
keep family in plenty, whereas no
one could get a living from 160 acres
of dry pasture land capable of sup
porting at the best only one head of
cattle to every ten acres. In the past
great tracts of the public domain have
been fenced in by persons having no
title thereto, in direct defiance of the
law forbidding the construction of any
such unlawful Enclosure of public land
For various reasons there has been lit
tie interference with such Enclosures
in the past, but ample notice has now
been given the trespassers, and all the
resources at the command of the Gov
eminent will hereafter be used to put
a stop to such trespassing.
In view of the capital Importance of
these matters, l commend them to the
earnest consideration of the Congress,
and if the Congress finds difficulty in
dealing with them from lack of thor
ough knowledge of the subject, | rec
ommend that provision be made for
commission of experts specially to in
vestigate and report upon the compli
Gated questions involved.
