taining samples of cotton. The cotton at
 the right has a short staple. That is the
 common cotton raised on the uplands all
 over the South. Those long, silky fibers
 on the left are from the famous sea is- land cotton, the highest priced and best
 known to the world. That cotton will
 grow only on the islands off the coasts Of Georgia and South Carolina. We have planted It's seeds on the uplands. but could get no results. Then we took the upland plants and married them to the sea island plants, and the result is we have produced the cotton which you sec between the two in the frame It is not so long as the sea island cotton. but 1t Is far longer than the upland cotton.
 That cotton, the child of the two other kinds, will grow on the uplands and the breeding of 1t will add millions of dol- lars to the value of our cotton crop. We are now experimenting on the best varl- eties of the Egyptian cottons, of which we import N,O00,000 worth every year. We have had good results, and will soon raise all We want
 Another important item is rice" said the Secretary. I've used to import near ly all we consumed. We raised ss0. .oO0. .OOO pounds last year. and are now sending rice to Cuba and other countries We are doing a big business in sugar. We have begun to raise 1t from suga- heets and our product last year of that kind of short sweetening was 521,OO0. 900 pounds, enough to give thirty pounds to every family in the United States, or six and one-half pounds for every man, woman and child in the country. We have fifty factories now running making that su- gar. and we could if the matter were properly handled produce every pound of sugar we use.
 Indeed" said the Secretary. "I doubt if the people know what a scientific in- stitution the Agricultural Department is post graduate university devoted to train ing men to original scientific research along agricultural lines. We have had s9G6 students here. most of them college graduates whom we have been training for this kind of work. About half of that, number have already Been given posi- tions in the Agricultural Department and elsewhere. Indeed. could find pla"es for scores more if I had them. The Rrit- fsh minister recently asked me for a man to send to the Bermudas to investigate some matters there Another of our spe- cialists has been employed by the gov errnnent of Cuba and I understand he ts to get S5OOO a year. I have an aDplica- lion now for a man to take charge of new agricultural school which Is being esta blIshed in the middle west at good round salary and there are other open- IfnRs along other lines Indeed, the day of the old-time farmer is passed and the day of inc scientific agriculturist1 Is Ihere.'

do that that he has no time to worry over hours and wages.n
 How about wages. Mir. Secretary Is the farm laborer well paid?"
 T think he is." replied the Secretary of Agriculture. Good men get good wages. varying with the locality. In the North west. where, perhaps. the most skilled of our farmers are found, hired men get s25 a month and board. That is equal to $40 a month without board, which is good pay for any man. Such hand will un- derstand how to use farm machinery. He will know all about crops. and he can. if necessary. take the farm ard manage 1t himself. In some other parts of the country the wages are iess." -
 V here Our Money Comes From.
 "Are we farming any better now than we did in the past, Mir. Secretary
 Very much so," replied Secretary Will son. s'And we shall farm better in the future than we are doing now. we are learning every day and are steadily add ing to the aggregate of our crops. what we produce now Is beyond conception. Our wheat crop amounts to 6VOoo,Voo bushels every year. and 1t Is worth In t'ss neighborhood of $40000o,o0o.
 ''The value of the gold and silver mined in the United States is not half that. and all the gold mines of all the world did not produce as much by $10o0e0.0o0 In lso2. The corn crop Is worth more than twice as much as the wheat crop. It Is now bringing in $1OOo. o.000,o00 year, and for our oats alone we raise enough to quai a value of a million dollars for every working day. The crop amounts to billion bushels, with a value of sSoO.OooOco Our hay crop in many years is worth more than the total product of all the gold and silver mines of the world, ana the cotton crop last year sold for more than a half billion dollars. These figures are enormous There is nothing like them anywhere, and we have not begun to approximate. the maximum Of our farming possibilities"
 Uncle Sam's New Crops.
 "No" said the Secretary. refiectively, i've do not know what we have nor how rich we are. We are discovering some new thing every day which adds enor- mously to our national wealth The Az ricultural Department has become one of investigation and research. We have men travelling over the world looking for new plants asd seeds. Some time ago it seemed impossible that we could raise figs. We planted the trees. but could get no results. At last, on the advice of our specialists. we imported little in- sect from Smyrna to fertilize the trees; that is, to carry the pollen from one place to another. That little bug did

past. Take the, rice lands about the Cuff of Mexico One American farm hand with ,pbr machinery can raise as much rice there in one year as 400 Chinese la borers ican raise in China employing Chi nese methods and Chinese machinery. The conditions as to other crops are somewhat similar. Indede, the farm ma chimes enable us to dispense with a large number of hands,"
 Tabor Unions for Farmars.
 ''Is farm labor organized, Mir. secre- fary? Do the farm hands have trades unions?"
 Not that know of. The men are so scattered that 1t would be difficult to or Eanize them. They are not employed at steady work all the year round and be- sides the farm hand of today expects to own farm of his own a few years from now. He is so busy scheming how he can

the business, and we are now raising ex- cellent figs on the dry highlands Of the West. We produced more than 1.300, ,00o pounds last year, and we are just be- ginning.
 Macaroni for the Italians.
 Do you see that macaroni?'' the Sec Tetary went on, as he picked up a paper to which some pipe stems of white maca- rom were sewn.
