should be much preliminary guesswork
in interested quarters as to the tenor
of the expected report. 1t is equally in
eVitable that these guesses should oc-
casionally prove to be correct. When
ever 1t happens thus, there Is an i'm
mediate charge of crookedness against
the bureau. 1t has been so since its
organization, and it has been threaten
ed repeatedly with investigation. In
spite of the effort that has been made
to prevent it, the department officials
do not deny that crookedness has been
practiced. They insist, however, that
1t has not been the rule.
When the Department Of Agriculture
was created, In 1862, and put in charge
of an official termed the Commissioner
of Agriculture there was faint promise
that 1t would ever arrive at its present
consequence, having for its head a
member of the Presidents cabinet In
1889, during the administration of
Grover Cleveland, the Commissioner of
Agriculture, Norman j. Coleman. of
Missouri, was given a seat in the cahi-
net. and agriculture was raised to the
dignity of an actual department Of the
government. The wisdom of the ac-
ton was doubted by many persons at
the time, and there were many who
saw in it a mere political expedient "a
sop to the farmer" and who were of
the opinion that little actual good
would come from transforming the
former commissioner into a cabinet
dign1tary, charging his powers and
Increasing the bureaus under his ST.
pervision.
Nowadays, however, every person
who has given any attention to the
subject or has taken the trouble to
sound popular opinion on the mat+ar
knows that this department, last ex-
cept one to be created, is one of tha
most Important among the nine great
divisions of the general government
1t has been a fortunate thing for tho
department that its heads thus for
have been men Of good practical senso
men who were willing to devote all ~
their time and attention to the worlr
OF promoting the agricultural interasts
Of the nation.

The government system of crop re-
porting is really a wonderful scheme,
and the reporting force Is peculiar
organization. 1t is composed Of about
100000 agents scattered all over the
land and is probably the least expen-
sive organization, in view of its size,
in existence. The total appropriation
for the support Of the bureau of statis-
tics is only 100000 year. Out of
this sum must be paid the salaries Of
the chief statisdcian, a large corps Of
associate statisticians and assistants
and many agricultural experts, all To-
Gated at Washington; then come the
field men, the State agents, the county
correspondents and the township re-
porters, aggregating, all told, 100000
men. 1t Is an enormous agency, and 1t
is kept going at small expense from a
agricultural department building.
OF course the entire force Is not
called on In the compilation Of the or
binary monthly crop reports. Twice q
year the chief calls on all of his force
for information. The reports refer es-
pecially to the cereals then in season.
In June, for example, the report gives
q statement of the condition of the
wheat, oat and barley crop. In July
corn Is included with the other crops.
In midsummer a mammoth report Is
sent out embodying the opinions Of the
entire force Of 100000 forecasters, and
at harvest time another similar report
Is issued.
1t is a fact that the foundation Of
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1905-10-21

consists of the county correspondents,
There are 1900 of these, each of whom
has three assistants, making total
force of. county correspondents of
1890. The department has a list of
over 100000 other farmers, who are
called upon twice a year for specific
facts which enter into the general fore
cast of crops just prior to harvesting
time.
J., The paid force, those who receive
some portion of the $4,000 set aside
by the government for the purpose of
maintaining the bureau, is small, but
capable. 1t embraces the State agents
and the field men. The State statisti-
cal agents, one for every State, accord
ing to the plan, are paid from $500 to
$500 year for about a weeks work in
each month. They are kept posted by
the county correspondents, but they
are not dependent entirely on their re-
ports. They are allowed the greatest
possible latitude in the exercise of
their own Judgment and are men of
standing and character in their various
communities. The field men receive 81
a day and expenses. Literally con-
strued, their duties consist in moving
about in their own districts during the
growing season and gathering infor-
nation from any source accessible to
them. They interview not only farm
ers and planters, but get information
from implement dealers, merchants,
bankers, stock growers, etc. mhey are
given the fullest possible op, srtunlty
to form their judgment from the COM
ments of men on both sides Of the crop
question. Fl

Sam Is built Of the agricultural opin-
ions of great number of unpaid men.
There are at least 10000 township cor
respondents, all Of them farmers Of
sufficient intelligence to fill out blank
forms provided by the government
These forms ask for information con-
corning the area Of land under cult
walton in different crops, amount Of
rainfall, etc. The men and women who
send in these reports are satisfied to
receive as a reward for their labor a
few packages of seed in the spring
and some Of the publications Of the

COLLECT CROP STATISTICS.


Every precaution is taken to prevent
leaks. The sheets sent in by the coun-
ty and township correspondents are
distributed to the Office force by the
chief of the division. In the apport1on-
ment of the work great care Is taken
to keep the section reports separated
widely, so that no clerk is permitted to
deal with figures for single crop COW
erfng a wide area. Extra precaut1on Is
taken to detect collision, and every
night before work Is over the records
are all collected and locked in great
safe. The reports Of the State agents
and the field men are put in this safe
also and kept there under unbroken
seals until a stated time.
The issuing of a completed report Is
quite a ceremonial affair. On the event
full morning of the day on which 1t Is
to appear the Secretary Of Agriculture
or his assistant goes over to the office
of the chief statistician to witness the
opening of the envelopes. The door Of
the office is locked, and no one Is per-
mitted to enter until the compilation
is completed. The clerks keep to their
tasks until the final results are reach
ed. After repeated veriflcation a trust
ed employee Is called into the room and
set at work running off the reports on
a mimeographic machine. Meanwhile
the reporters and messengers from the
brokers and telegraph offices are wait
ing impatiently in the corridor for the
door to open, and when it does the mad
scampering begins.
OF course it is inevitable that there

Gus. In thirty years 100000 souls
have been added to England's popula-
ton. More and more Is England com
PEELED to depend on outsiders for food.
The importation Of cereals has trebled
in thirty years. At the present time
England imports over 100000, 600 hum
dredweight Of wheat per annum, Of
which the United States supplies one
fourth. She also received 100000
hundredweight of -four. She gets bar
ley. and oats from Russia, and from
America uncounted shiploads of ham,
lard, beef and pork. The United States
supplies about so per cent of the meat.
England lis at the foreigners mercy
for eggs, sugar, fruit, tea, butter,
cheese and milk. In a single year she
bought nearly 500,e00,9oo pounds of
butter from foreign countries. Fifteen
years ago no milk was imported. Now
she goes abroad for 100,000,0O0 pounds
per year. 1t would seem that the ne
cessities of England will settle one
matter forever. There is absolutely no
chance Of her ever declaring war on
the United States. Here Is where she
gets the bulk of her food-her luxuries
as well as her necessities. She is help
less in her hunger, and she can't afford
to fight because she must eat.

Since Herbert Spencers classic" on
Education" was published, several
decades ago, it has been common
place with thoughtful educators that
mental training alone does not insure
high thinking" or right living. Spen-
Ger carried his emphasis on what he
called emotional education" 80 far
that he denied the influence Of ideas
and knowledge on conduct. The man
who is disposed to lead an immoral
and criminal life, he said, was simply
made more dangerous, cunning and re-
sourceful by education, and the ordi-
nary school and college courses, he
thought, did next to nothing toward
making men honest, ciean-minded and
morally sound and healthy. Professor
James of Harvard meant no more than
this when he said notwithstanding
some people-that SCHOOLS and col
leges increase crime by developing in
tellects which, in many cases, have
criminal tendencies" Neither Profess
sor James nor Spencer, we need hard
ly say, argued against education. Both
laid stress on the proper cultivation
of the emotional side, ON the building
Of character. How character and the
emotions are to be cultivated is a great
and difficult problem. Professor Mil
Ter of the University of Chicago would
submit test questions to graduating
students and withhold degrees from
those disclosing moral deficiency or
obliquity. But these tests would come
at the end Of the term, and, Of course,
the Trainer Of the interesting questions
asked realizes that right answers to
them would not necessarily show NOR
al elevation. What students would an
swer mo" to such questions as these:
Are you in sympathy with all good
causes? Do you see anything to love
in a little child? Can you see some
thing more in the world than money
We fancy that even thoroughly "de-
veloped" rascal would cheerfully write
Eyes" after each Of these questions in
order to receive his degree. The train
ing of the qualities of the heart must
be done during the school and college
terms, and not merely in direct didac-
tic fashion. There is much in exam
pie, in the atmosphere of the school,
the city, the society, in the practice Of
the official and business community
which the student observes. Sound
moral education implies sound So
ciety, but meantime pure-minded and

Probably 1t is true, as claimed by
confirmed optimists, that there Is no
more official robbery now than. there
always has been. The trouble Is that
the official robbery which is now COM
ing to light involves men who have
been looked upon as incapable of vul-
gar stealing. The fact that the steal
ing IL In millions instead of in dollars
does not alter the fact that it is steal
ing. We have been accustomed to
petty fellows smirching their fingers
with petty spells, but when great fig-
uEes In high finance are loaded into
