Farm Roll In Riches.
CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE.


"The cattle raisers, the dairymen,
the rice planter, in short. all farmers
and agriculturists are being aided ma
terially by the work of the department.
We are getting down to the fundamen-
tai principle of things. We are aiming
not only to help build up, by bringing
in from the four corners of the world
grains, grasses and everything which is
found better adapted to our different
climates than what we have been &C.
customed to, but we also are doing all
we can to help maintain what we al
ready have.
1.-THE effort of the department during
the past year to prevent the importation
of adulterated and mislabeled food pro-
ducts has been almost complete sue
cess. The importers who have been
handling these goods did not appreciate
the harmful character until we told
them, and / want to state that in almost
every instance as soon as they learned
that they were handling foodstuffs and
beverages containing injurious ingred-
tents, they stopped further importa
tions.
EFFECT SEEN IN FOODS.
"Our people at the close of 1904 are
not in as much danger of harmful re-
suits following their use of imported
foods as they were at the beginning of
the year.
During the coming year the work Of
the department will be extended along
all our lines of inquiry and investiga-
tion," concluded the secretary. EVERY
thing that affects the farmer interests
us. We are studying his needs and will
continue our effort to meet them. There
is nothing agricultural alien to this de-
partment, and we are hopeful that q
year hence we will again be able to say
that the last twelve months have been
abundantly prosperous, and that the
agriculturists have sufficient reason to
be happy"
