GONE TO CRIPPLE CREEK.

Miss Gertrude Harger departed,
Thursday for Cripple Creek, Colorado,
where she has gone to accept the posi-
ton of supervisor of music in the public
schools of that city Some correspond
ence was had between Miss Harger and
the school authorities and on that
morning she received a dispatch to
"come at once" and in the evening
she was on her way to that famous
mining town of Colorado. Miss Harger
has made the study of music, as taught
to pupils in the public schools, especially
and after graduating in the work she
was supervisor of music in the Wausau
schools for number of years, which
position she resigned at the close of
school that she might continue her
studies and further perfect herself in
her chosen work. The year 1904-5 was
spent in Chicago pursuing her studies.
There is probably no person in Wiscon-
sin better fitted for this special work
than Miss Harger and people of
Cripple Greek are to be congratulated
upon securing her.

MADE PRESIDING ELDER.

AT the M. E. conference just closed
in this city, Rev. Geo. c. Carmichael,
pastor of the local M. f. church, was
made presiding elder of the Fond du
Lac district to succeed DR. Benjamin..
He will enter upon his duties at once
and will move his family to Fond du
Lac early next week. 1t is possible he
will not be able to conduct services here
next Sunday. The appointment will
meet with the approval of the people of
the Fond du Lac district but not with
the people of Wausau, for Mr. Car
michael has been very popular man
with his congregation since coming
here in November, 1908 Though still a
young, man he has displayed the or
ganizing force of one of maturer years
and larger experience, and he was one
OF the main factors in devising plans
for the completion of the new church,
which is one of the finest in the state,
and free from any circumference. There
was some trouble in the church over
an appointment made in 1908 at the
conference, but Mr.. Carmichaers com
ing had the effect of spreading oil on
troubled waters. He has formed ties
here that are hard to sever, but the will
of the conference must be obeyed AS
successor to Mr.. Carmichael the con-
ference has appointed the Rev. f. FL.
Brigham, who served at Kaukaura the
past year. Mr.. Brigham is said to be a
man of pleasing personality and pull
pit orator of strength. He is expected
to move here soon.

Perhaps the most striking charac-
teristic of the late President Mckinley
was his sound judgment of men and
his ability to surround himself with
the ablest councillors obtainable. We
owe to this keenness in recognizing IN
usual ability the introduction into the
Cabinet of Secretary Hay of the State
Department. Secretary Root of the
War Department, Secretary Taft as
Governor of the Philippines and later
Secretary of War, and Secretary VIII
son of the Department of Agriculture.
All of these won marked success. Mr.
Hay became our foremost diplomat, If
not the worlds; Mr.. Root carried the
burden of war upon his shoulders and
at the same time recognized his great
Department and the army; and Judge
Taft's administration in the Philip
pines was so able and successful that it
brought him a place in President
Roosevelt's Cabinet. With Mr.. Root
he is now talked of for President, and
If not that, a place on the Supreme
Bench.
But Of services rendered the country
looking to its internal development,
that of Mr.. Wilson in the great and
SURPRISING domain of agriculture has
never been eQualled. He came to the
Cabinet both a practical farmer and a
trained scientist. From the tail end Of
the Cabinet Departments he has raised
the Ministry of Agriculture to q con-
spicuOus position, 0utshining several
of the other Departments, and Ameri-
can agriculture has come to have new
and greater world meaning because of
his active constructiveness and never
tagging energy.
Secretary Wilson is rendering the
American farmer a notable service and
he has won the confidence of the peo-
pie to a great degree as is evidenced
by the many tributes paid him since
the recent trouble in his Department.
Rather than being censurable for the
graft" discovered, it is to Secretary
Wilson's high credit that so little of
this sort of thing has occurred. 1t is
impossible to build up such an i'm
mense organization as is the present
Department of Agriculture without
some evil creeping in and without some
individuals getting onto the
pay rolls for the purpose of private
gain other than their salaries.
Secretary Wilson will not resign to
meet the demands of a few sensation
simply because the country
which is benefitting so largely through
his splendid work viii not hear of 1t
any more than they would agree to
Secretary Taft's resignation following

New Farm Plants
Work Of the United States Department Of Agriculture
GUY ELLIoTT MITCHELL.

A feature Of the work of the De
partment of Agriculture which holds
out enormous promise Is the work Of
foreign agricultural exploration and
the introduction Of new and rare seeds
and plants.
American agriculture is a compare
lively new thing. Our climatic and
soil conditions are largely different
from those Of old countries whence
our fathers came, and the bulk Of our
agricultural products have been intro
duced from abroad. Because our dad
dies did it before us, is a sufficient ex-
cuse for the majority OF men to go
ahead planting and cultivating In the
same old way, but as a matter OF fact
the original producers of any of our
common crops, a hundred or two hun
dred years ago, may have started
wrong or have started In some particu-
lar locality with some particular crop
not very well adapted to that sec
tion. For two hundred years our an
cestors may have been making a liv-
ing by growing that crop, and yet 1t
may be that In some section of France,
or perhaps Turkestan, where the soil
and climate exactly corresponds, a
which Is far superior ms q money pro-
Queer.
This is not a mere theory, for every
little while some agricultural explorer
OF the Department sends In new
species, or perhaps merely new vari-
ETY. OF some common grain, for In
stance, which upon trial proves to be
much heavier and better yielder
than the kind that our farmers have
been growing since the Indians occu-
pied the land.
Secretary Wilson takes much stock
IN his agricultural explorers, and he
has some energetic young men who
are both botanists and linguists and
have become almost as familiar with
the agricultural productions Of some
little known and difficult to reach cor
ners of the globe as they are with the
farms of the United States. The writer
IL indebted to David G. Fairchild for

Seedless Grapes, Mating Barley
and Luxuriant Hops.
On tour of investigation through
Europe, Mr.. Fairchild secured many
important fruits and vegetables. The
Sultanina seedless grape was sent in
from Italy. The Huasco seedless raisin
grape was another find. The best
mailing barley In the world was
found growing at an old town In Mo
ravia. Introduced under the name of
Hanna barley, it has already proved
Of value to those regions where 1t has
been grown, especially on the Pacific
coast. 1t is not only earlier, but
heavier yielding than other barleys;
and II II Is found that 1t can be gen
orally substituted for the barleys now
grown, Its Increased yield of from one
to two and half bushels per acre viii
add enormously to the aggregate out
put. A study OF the hop regions of Eu-
rope disclosed the fact that the Ameri-
can hop Is far inferior ia quality to
the best European varieties The inn
portation of young plants for the pur-
pose of producing better American
hops was undertaken by the Depart
ment as result Of this discovery.
Bamboo Win Thrive In U. S.
The Jordan almond. the finest va
riety in the world, was found growing
In Spain. and at once recognized as far
superior to the almonds produced In
the United States. so a supply was inn
secured and shipped. A

Of great Importance are the hardy

Ing tested IN California and the South
srn States. Mr.. Fairahild thinks they

No Resignation for Secretary
Wilson.

There are many good and sufficient
reasons why Secretary Wilson whom
the sensationalists have indirectly If
not directly held accountable for the
cotton scandal in his Department will
not resign. Whether or not Mr.. Wilson
is even indirectly responsible for the
criminal doings of trusted employees,
he is the man directly responsible for
a most wonderful development and evo-
luton in the Department of Agrieul-
ture. And a man who can revolution
ize agriculture in an agricultural ma
ton in a space of eight years and with
al win the confidence of the farmers
generally can not be spared

plants. Mr.. Fairchild speaks FIVE OF
six different languages and knows
pretty nearly every plant that grows.
He Is one of Secretary Wilson's
'bright young men," and he has or.
ganized and is In charge Of the sec
ton of Plant and Seed Production, at
present modest branch of the De
partment, but one which Is destined,
In my Judgment, to become one of its
most important bureaus. This divi-
sion already has some ten thousand
plants new to America, which are be-
ing grown and tested all overthe coun-
try.
New Plants of Promise.
"There is not a state nor a territory
in the country" said Mr.. Fairchild, I'm
which the crops, staple and subsidiary,
are not capable In many cases of be-
ing supplanted by more successful
ones. / have found new plants and
new varieties of old ones almost every
where l turned In every one of the
grand divisions of the earth, which
somewhere in our own country will
constitute an improvement upon the
crops our farmers are already grow
ing. Our farmers are growing per-
haps barley or wheat or some other
staple crop and are making money
from II, and are satisfied, yet it may
be that there is a variety or strain
more exactly adapted to their condi-
lions OF soil and climate which Will
yield them several bushels more per
acre with the same labor. / could
mention varieties of several staple
CROPS which, upon the tests made IN
this country during the past year or
two. have shown 4 very large increase

lies the Importance Of this work. The
finding of Japanese bamboo was ne

ing that they will thrive In our climate.
Not only are they the most ornamental
plant in the world. but they are prob
ably the most useful wood in Japan,
not only for the making Of fancy fur
niture and kniek-knacks, but for al
most every use. "Tell me what you
can use wood for" said Mr.. Fairchlld,
"and / will tell you what use the
Japanese can make of bamboo"

A Peculiar Horse.
The excellence of the English Colo.
NAL educational systems Is evidenced
by the following interesting descrip-
ton of the horse by a Bombay stu
dent:
''The horse is a very noble quadru-
ped, but when he Is angry he will not
do so. He is ridden on the spinal cord
by. the bride and sadly the driver
places his foots on the stirrup, and
divides his lower limbs across the sad
die, and drives his animal to the
meadow. lie has a long mouth, and
his head is attached to the trunk by
a long protuberance called the neck.
He has four legs; two are in the front
side and two are afterwards. These
are the weapons on which he runs,
and also defends himself by extending
those in the rear in a parallel direction
toward his foe, but this he does only
when la a vexatious mood. His food.
ing is generally grasses and grains.
He is also useful to take on his back
a man or woman as well as some car
go. He has power to run as fast as he
could. He has got no sleep at night
time, and always standing awaken.
Also there are horses Of short sizes.
They do the same as the others are
generally doing. There is no animal
like the horse; no sooner they see their
guardian or master they always crying
for flooding, but II Is always at the
time. They have got tail, but
not SO long as the COW and othsr aueh
like similar animals"

tribution, but our agents have tried II
I'm various states, and in every instance

The Dates of Persia.
Mr.. Fairchild has made plant ex.
ploratlons through many Of the most
Interesting countries of the globe
Peru, where the Incas once practiced
agriculture and irrigation on a SPLEEN
did scale; Chill, temperate country,
where many plants were found suit
able for our conditions; China, India,
Chaldea, and numerous others. At the
last place, near Bagdad, are found the
immense date groves OF the land Of
Babylon, where are produced probably
three-fourths of all the dates of com
merce. These vast date forests extend
for distance of seventy miles up and
down the Tigris. Many fine date suck
ers were obtained by Mr.. Fairchild
and shipped to the United States, and
are now growing in Arizona, and some
day the great Colorado river of our
where the conditions are
exactly favorable for date growing,
may not only produce all the dates
which America uses, but export this
wholesome fruit. Dates picked,
packed and shipped by American
methods viii bring higher price than
the imported products, which, If the
history OF their packing were known,
might not be eaten with such avidity
by the fastidious. The saccharine Of
the date itself cures or candies the
fruit, and some of the trees which
have already fruited in Arizona and
California have yielded very fancy and
fine dates. For a long time to come,
all of the dates produced in the United
States win come from the Tigris and
North African trees, imported through
the department, and their progeny
date suckers-will command fancy
prices.

Better Than the Congressional
Free Seed Farce.

Dozens of other extremely interest
ing and promising plants were found,
quantities purchased and sent home
for tests. The number of these dis
coveries and introductions Is so great
ana such an exhaustive test is in each
case made by the Department before
anything Is recommended for intrOdue-
ton, that 1t is practically useless for
farmers or fruit growers to write the
Department for samples of the strange
and interesting things which its agri-
cultural explorers have secured, and
which are described from time to time
in the magazines. Until any product
has been tested and Is determined to
be practicable for growth in the
United States, it is not possible to Sc
cure any seeds or specimens. In fact,
the Department has none. Those that
are sent in are Immediately distributed
among the Government experiment
stations and to few practical grow
ers who are especially able to properly
attend to the experiments under the
direction of the Department. How
ever, the possibilities of these tests are
very great, and Congress would be
