ever, lay back upon his oars and init

the work undertaken and accomplished,
and gratifying as has been the re-
suits as shown in the first few pages
OF this report, be 1t remembered, re-
marks the Secretary, that we are still
at the threshold of agricultural develop
ment and that the educational work
which has led to such grand results
has only been extended as yet to a
portion of our agricultural population.
Unprecedented Prosperity of Farmer
A year of unequaled prosperity has
been added to the most remarkable
series of similar years that has come
to the farmers of this country. Farm
crops have never before been har-
vested at such a high general level OF
production and value. Corn has reached
it's highest production, over 2.70O,00O,-
600 bushels, OF a total estimated value
OF $1,216,0 100000. Hay comes second,
with value of S605,000,00O. Cotton

Life Zones and Crop Zones.
The work Of the Bureau Of Biolog-
ical Survey includes the determination
Of the boundaries of the natural life
zones of the United States and the
corresponding crop zones The chief
purpose is to ascertain the bounda-
ries of natural life zones with a view
to aiding the farmer in selecting crops
best adapted to his locality and in
avoiding crops unsuited to it.
Studies of Birds.
One section of the Biological Survey
is engaged in the study of birds and
their various relations to man, espe-
cially to determine whether birds
damage crops, whether they protect
insects either injurious or beneficial,
and to what extent they feed upon
weed seeds. Thousands of birds
stomachs are examined In gathering
facts on this SUBJECT.
Publications of the Department.
In the Division of Publications more
than twelve million copies of publi-
cations have been distributed by the
Department during the past year,
nearly 45 per cent. of which were dis
tributed through the Senators and
Representatives in Congress.
Need of Government Crop Reports.
Referring to the work of the Bureau
of Statistics, the Secretary says that
the devel0nmpnt of nrpaniyafionS ~
fix prices, and in some cases to force
temporary changes giving unnatural
advantages to price manipulators, has
led to the need of strong and i'm
partial agency to make comprehensive
reports Of actual facts relating to
prospective crops and yields, that all
concerned may know how to buy and
sell.
The ImprovementofPu Public Roads.
The work Of the Office of Public
Roads is primarily educational in
character It's province is to detail
experts to give information and ad-
vice. In many communities it is
found advisable to supplement advice

been built in thirty-eight States.
Speaking of the growth of the De-
partment, the Secretary reports the
of persons on the rolls Julysl
l, 1905, to be 5,446. OF these, 1926
are rated as scientists and scientific
assistants. This shows an increase
since July l, 1897, of S,00S persons on

developed the fact that, without excep-
ton, the addition of the ordinary pre-
servatives to foods is prejudicial to
health, The Secretary argues the need
of protecting the public from these
evil effects by legislation.

Farmers as Bankers
One of the most notable outgrowths
Of savings by farmers is the great
multiplication of small National banks
in recent years. AS many as LIZA
banks, each with capital of less than
$50, 900. were organized from March,
1900, to October, 1905. These were dis
tributed mostly throughout the South
and the North Central States, in rural
regions. In the South 633 of these banks

and 1908.
Plant Diseases and Plant Breeding.
The Bureau of Plant Industry is or
ganized into eleven Offices and employs
over 500 persons, about go per cent.
Of whom are engaged in distinctly
scientific work.
In it's systematic work in securing
new plants and seeds from foreign
countries the Bureau of Plant Industry
has been highly successful. Success
has also attended its work in cotton
breeding, undertaken with the view
to obtaining new sorts combining inn
proved length of staple with produc-
tiveness. The Secretary records the
production of new citrus fruit, the
citrange, several varieties Of which
the Rusk, the Willets, the Morton
have been developed. Another inter-
esting product is the new tangelo, a
hybrid of the pomelo or grape fruit,
and the tangerine orange.
Very considerable Importance is re-
corded in the manner of seed distribu-
ton. AZ special feature has been the
encouragement of school-garden work
thereby.

profits that have come to the farmers.

The first important duty of every citizen OF Rhode Island at the
election now near at hand is to vote, and the second TO see that he SO
marks his ballot that it will be effective as to every candidate he de-
sires to support, and will not be thrown out as defective by the re-
turning board as were nearly one-ffth of the votes cast in the first
congressional district last year. In April last the general assembly,
ostensib1y to simplify the method Of marking ballots and thus reduce
the number of detectives, made radical changes in the law, and as
these changes will be operative for the first time at the coming
November election, it is essential that every voter should faniliarize
himself with them before going to the polls.
Under the new system the names of all the candidates of each
party will be printed in regular order under the party symbol and
name. These symbols will be a eagle for Republicans, a star for
Democrats and a fountain for Prohibitionists. Immediately under
these symbols will be found a circle and by putting a cross within it
the citizen can vote a straight party ticket This provision of the law
is easily understood and it is on that ought to tend to decrease the
number of defective ballots.
of citizens who seldom, if ever, vote a straight ticket. They are
mining factor in elections. In framing the new ballot law it appears
bly, to discourage this large and influential class of voters by imposing
upon them conditions wholly unnecessary and calculated to render
voting by them as complicated and difficult as possible.
If a citizen of independent political thought and action wishes to
vote for a majority but not all the candidates of any party he may
put a cross in the circle and must then draw a line through the names
of those he does not desire to support If in some other party column
he finds the names of candidates for the offices he has previously
marked out who are satisfactory to him he can vote for them by put
ting a cross in the squares to the right of their names. In the event
that none of the candidates whose names In printed on the ballot
meet his approval he can write in the names Of other men in the
spaces prepared for that purpose and by marking a cross to the right
make his ballot effective as to them.

All hopes OF inducing the ROYAL Ca

tcularly careful under this new ballot law, especially if he employs
the cross in the circle al. the top of a party column. If he does not do
this he a make his vote effective by marking his ballot in the same
manner a under the old system-thati is, by putting a cross opposite
the name of one candidate for each Office for whom he desires to vote
or by writing the name of a candidate when none of those printed on
the ballot ART acceptable to him.
If the legislators, when they framed the ballot law, had really
desired to simplify and facilitate voting, they would not have i'm
posed so many intricate, complicated and unnecessary conditions
upon the citizen who votes independently For example, if he marked
beside the name OF a candidate whom he wished to support, that
in a name in the blank space provided, and put a cross beside it, that,
too, ought to be ample and distinct evidence of his intention.
But the partisan spirit that ruled the last legislature decreed
placed in the way of independent voting. There is good reason to
believe it has underestimate the intelligence of the independent cleo
torate. The citizen who votes for those he considers the most COM
petent and trustworthy among the candidates presented, whatever
party label they may bear, is pretty certain to study the voting laws
so carefully that he will not be DISTINGUISHED through qurks cum
ningly and designedly inserted in it.
HOW tt VOTE THE NEW BALLOT.
To vote a split ticket without trouble ignore circle at top and
vote as under old system for one man for each office.
To vote a straight ticket place a cross in the circle under the
symbol of the party you wish to support.
Having placed the cross in the circle it is possible to vote for
others outside the column by scratching out the mann of the candi-
date you wish ignored and placing a cross in the space to the right of
the man favored if his name appears on the ballot.
Should the name not appear, it may be written in under the title
OF the Office in the blank column.
1t is necessary to strike out the name in the corresponding space
in the straight column and cross the new name also to make the
ballot effective.
