MEETING JANUARY 18TH
Near Approach Of Exposition Brings
Much Work Plans For Mural
Decorations of Indiana
Building Must be De-
cided at Once.

indianapolis, Jan. f. The next
nesting of the Indiana world s fair
coz mission will be held at the head
quarters here January II. As there
will be only three other regular meet
ing days before the exposition opens
on April 30, all these gatherings nat
urally will be important ones. No
tees have been sent out to all the
members calling their attention to
the proximity of the exposition and
urging them to be present if possible
at the coming meeting, that all i'm
portant matters may be disposed of
with the approval of the entire com
mission.
Important details in connection
with the finishing and furnishing of
the Indiana building will occapy a
good deal of attention. The building
is ready for the interior decorations
and for the art glass dome which will
surmount the grand stairway. The
committee of artists which was Sc
lected to have charge of the mural
decorations, planning the Icolor de
sign to- be followed out In the tinting
of the walls, is ready to make its re-
port to the commission. Considera-
ton Of these plans promise to call
forth a good deal of discussion. as
all the members feel that on their
Enal decision on this point rests the
making or marring of the building.
Walter Lockwood, of Lafayette,
Tao was placed in charge Of the art
glass decorations, including the work
on the great art dome, is also ready
to make complete report of his
plans to the commission. Chairman
Ball, of the building committee, also
has several other important matters
the finishing ID the build
ing. Plans for furniA1ehe the club
house will also be diseased tentative
".
Another matter that will require
attention is the outlining Of plans
for getting the exhibits from this !
state which are under the direct
large OF the commission to St.
Louis. 1t will be necessary to begin
shipping in about six weeks, and it is
probable that the transportation com
mittee or a select committee will be /
directed to make tentative arrange
ments for this shipping, with instruc-
tons to report to the commission at
the next meeting.

Speed of BIRDS.

Frequently arguments arise as to the
speed with which wild birds fly. and
many men of science have sought TO
determine something about it. NatI.-
rally it is impossible to fix the record
made by such birds as grouse. quail and
snipe when they first arise. but it is
safe to say that they are not going one
half as fast as the luckless gunner
who misses them imagines. With the
migratory fowls of known fast fight,
such as ducks and geese. something
more nearly accurate is known The
green winged teal is about the speediest
of them all. 1t does something like
ninety miles an hour as readily as
sparrow dives into an inviting rain
spout The canyasbaek is only trif1e
slower, probably eighty five miles being
its limit while the black duck. mallard
and redhead fall below this, being
timed at about eighty miles. Still this
is plenty fast enough to insure lots of
misses unless the fellow with the gun
looks down the rib straight and pulls
the trigger at the right time.

EIenhanta and aEice.

An elephant is usually afraid Of any
small animal to which it is unaccus-
toned. A dog or cat. and sometimes
even mouse, will cause him annoy
ance, especially if it runs between the
animals legs. The noise of mouse
running through the hay will often
cause an elephant to become excited.
but | have never known or heard of
mouse getting on an elephants trunk.
The terrors of the mouse to a larger
animal is an old story. and many fool
ish superstitions have arisen from it,

THE FARMER
A BIG FACTOR
SECRETARY WILSON SAYS HE
rs MORE PROSPEROUS THAN
EVER BEFORE.
SUSTAlNS THE COUNTRY
There Can be no Panic, Is Declared

ing Money,
.SUSTAlNS THE COUNTRY


New York. Jan. 3.-The Herald
printed the following from its Wash
ington correspondent:
flames Wilson, Secretary of Ag-
riculture, was asked by the Herald
for his views as to. the sustaining
power of the American farmer in the
face of great business depression
caused by the depreciation Of securi-
ties in Wall street.
TO one familiar with tEa sisra-
ton replied Mr. Wilson, cit mus.
appear that there viii be no panic in
this country now SO long as the far
mer Of the United States is able to
produce good and salable crops. The
american farmer sustains the coun-
try and feeds a great portion of the
world. He IS virtually Independent
of any other class.
LET me premise by giving a few
figures from my annual report just
issued. From 1880 to 1890 the aver
age of exports of farm products was
more than $7O3, 000,0 900. In 1901
they were $685., 100000. In 1908 the
surplus, which we did not need in
this country and was sold abroad.

The point I want to bring out is
| this: Ifthe bureau of corporations
Of the Department of Commerce and
Labor had been organized long en-
ough to give to the public an idea of
the stability of corporations which
are seeking for the confidence of the
investing public, long enough to as
sure the farmers Of the West that
they were good and reliable invest
ments, instead of 'salted mines, they
would supply the money to set them
going. If the schemes of Wall street
were not regarded with suspicion
not always well founded, if you
please-the farmers money would be
invested there, and then, where would
be all these predictions Of a panic
because water is squeezed out Of the
stocks? As Il IS The farmer is going

To Keep Farmers Prosperous.

To Keep Farmers Prosperous.
Steps are being taken to keep the
farmers prosperous, even If some
crops should fail There are many
questions that have to be seriously
considered and solved. For instance
the boil weevil is threatening the cot
ton crop. The government is under
taking operations to ascertain the
cause of this pest and to stamp it out
CONSTANT experiments are being
made to show that there are other
crops with which the American far
mer is not familiar that can be raised
at a greater profit than some Of those
he is now engaged in producing. The
cultivation Of the sugar beet is going
to become much more general than it
IS at the present time. Six years ago
the production Of beet sugar In this
country was 10000 tons. One year
ago the production was 100000 tons.
The production is going to increase
and it means good paying crop for
the farmer. He is learning that his
by-product, instead Of being thrown
away, can be used to great advantage
for the feeding Of cattle and other
live stock.
Wheat Growing Improved.
"Then, again, great progress has
been made in proving that large
portion Of the United States which
has not sufficient rainfall to raise the
ordinary crop plants can be used to
great advantage in the growing of
peculiar kind of wheat. The land be-
tween the tooth and the 120th prin-
clpal meridians is thus affected and
comprises one-third of the area of the
United States. On this land as a re-
suit of our experiments wear before
last 100000 bushels of wheat were
harvested. Last year it was 25,000,-
900 In few years the production
viii be 100,000.000 bushels.
Il have the greatest confidence in
the aericulturalist as the real sustain
ing power Of the prosperity of the
United States. So long as the CROPS
ere boundless the railroads will make
money hauling TO the market or to
the seaboard. So long as the rail
road make money they produce divi-
bends and they keep the shops going.
When the railroads cut or pass divi-
bends the whole country takes alarm.
Merchants curtail their stock, manu-
featuring establishments shut down
and contemplated industries are
abandoned. Hence there is no ques-
ton IN my mind as to the important
part the farmer is playing and will
continue to play in the financial af-
fairs of the United States.''

Keeps Balance of Trade.

heeps> Balance of Trade.
1T was the farmer who Kent the
balance Of trade with the United
States. Excluding the products of the
farm, there was during the period
from 1890 TO 1902 an annual adverse
balance of trade amounting to S62.-
100000. Including the farm pro
duets this balance IS wiped out. and
we had left S275, 100000 to the credit
OF this country During 1908 there
was an unfavorable balance Of trade
IN exports and imports other than
those Of the farrn. which amounted
to S56,000,000, but when the farmers
part in the international commerce is
included the balance IN our favor IS
just about 1867 100000.
Here You have the tremendous re-
serve sustaining power Of the farmers
OF this country. They are the people
who pay the foreign bondholders.
will tell YOU that the farmer are
independent Of the banks, the money
lenders or anybody else. They are
prosperous. La the East anv BODY
can see it for himself. They are
getting good prices for their grain.
hay, milk, butter, cheese. fruits and
other produce. Think of the prices
OF eggs and poultry! Then they have
the advantage over their western
brethren IN not having the long haul
and heavy freight rates.
Farmers in Good Shape.
The farmers Of the West were
never in better circumstances. Their
crops have been good, and the de-
mand from abroad has been such as

But many men are predicting

Wilson was asked.
