There have been but four secretaries

There have been but four secretaries
since the foundation of the depart
ment as it is now constituted
]. Coleman Of Missouri, Jeremiah
M. Rusk Of Wisconsin, ]. Sterling
Morton of Nebraska and James VIII
son of Iowa. the present incumbent.
All of them have proved to be admir-
able selections. Mr. Coleman was Sec
rotary less than a month, but he had
been commissioner and had obtained
an excellent record in that capacity. No
other department has shown quicker
growth or has intrenched itself more
securely in the affections Of the people.
1t has become an Indispensable part Of
the governmental machinery, and vast
interests are bound up in it. The
eagerness with which It's monthly crop
bulletins are awaited Is an evidence Of
it's standing among the farming COM
munity, and the very fact that ques-
tionable methods of obtaining them in
advance have been resorted to shows
their commercial value. Ever since
their first issue attempts have been
made to manipulate them dishonesty,
and 1t Is quite likely that occasional
leaks will continue in spite of the In
creased vigilance.

When everything went hurry-scurry,

Because the more he tried to do
The bigger seemed to grow the worry.

COLLECT CROP STA 7ISHCS.
-C@ ~

The government system of crop re-
porting is really a wonderful scheme,
and the reporting force is a peculiar
organization. 1t Is composed of about
| 100000 agents scattered all over the
land and is probably the least e1pen-
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 statistician, 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, $4,000
men. 1t Is an enormous agency, and it
Is kept going at small expense from a
tiny 6 by 10 office in an annex Of the
agricultural department building.
OF course the entire force Is not
called on In the compilation Of the or
binary monthly crop reports. Twice a
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
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

LIVED WITH BROKEN NECK.

Nor Did It Prevent the Mau from
Walking to His Home.
They had been discussing the case
Of the Chicago man who walked a
mile or more to his home after his
neck had been broken, resting his
head in his hand every step of the
way, says the New Orleans Times
Democrat. '"The Chicago case, while
interesting and rather unusual, is yet
by no means unreasonable" said one
member Of the group. TT is, as q
matter Of fact perfectly reasonable to
assume the statement to be correct
Things even more remarkable have
happened, though we are in the habit
of thinking the jig is up with the
man when his neck is broken. Science
has put forth rather novel theory
In regard to what men may do when
their heads are suddenly clipped from
their shoulders, and, unless my mem
DRY Is more treacherous than I think,
there are cases which give the color
Of truth to what might otherwise seem
to be mere scientific speculation. Can
man walk after his head has been
cut off? Science will answer in the
Affirmative Suppose the case where
a man is walking along a smooth
surface at a moderate rate Of speed
Cut his head off quickly with an in
strumef1t sharp enough not to inter
fere with the momentum or equilib-
rum Of his body in any way further
than to take from the body the weight
Of the head, what would happen7
Manifestly the body would continue
to walk for few steps at least. OF
course the waste of blood would, In
a few seconds, disturb the balance Of
the torso and a collapse would follow
But 1t Is conceivable that the body
until the physical energies, put into
motion by the mind before the sever
ance Of the head, would have exhaust
ed themselves and the number of steps
to be taken by our hypothetical torso
would be governed by the rapidity of
the blood flow, because the wasting
blood would be the chief factor in dis
turbing the bodys equilibrium and ar
resting It's momentum. If blood vast
ed rapidly it would be followed by
quick collapse Of veins and arteries
and functional paralysis, which would
soon reduce the body to condition
Of dead weight. So, you see, it is not
unreasonable to state that man with
q broken neck walked q considerable
distance, even as far as a mile, when
it can be shown that man with his
head shaved from hic shoulders can
take a few steps"
The Havre herald. [volume] (Havre, Mont.) 1904-1908, 1905-10-06

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 apportion-
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 a single crop COW
erlng a wide area. Extra precaution is
taken to detect collision, and every
night before work is over the records
are oil collected and locked in a 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 completed report Is
quite ceremonial affair. On the event
full morning of the day on which it 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 verification a trust
ed employe 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

FEW GOOD READING CLERKS.
Profitable Profession for Which Yonng
Men Might Fit Themselves.

Profitable Profession for Which Young
Men Might Fit Themselves.
THE meeting of Congress reminds
me that 1t is one of the rarest things
In the world to find a good reading
clerk" said an old reporter, land there
Is, suppose, very good reason for
1t. AS matter of fact, it takes a Pc
culiar type Of man to make a reading
clerk. There are great many men
who can read we'll for while. But
the man wanted by the large delibera-
tive bodies must be able to sustain
himself, and in order to do this he
must learn how to control his voice.
In fact, he must be as careful of his
voice as the artistic singer.
Reading clerks In legislative bodies
often have a peculiar condition to deal
with on account Of the character Of
legislative halls. The men who read
for Congress also read under difficult
ties. During the national conventions
of the Republican and Democratic par
ties had occasion to appreciate the
difficulties of finding good reading
clerks. Each convention selected q
number of reading clerks, but tho SER
vice was not at all satisfactory. It
was impossible to hear the clerks q
short while after they began to read.
They would pitch their voices In Il
key SO high that collapse vocally was
Inevitable. The voices would soon be-
come husky and the men could not be
heard at all. Another man would be
pressed into service with the same re-
suit.
"On account Of these difficulties 1t
required the services Of a number OF
men to get the platforms and resolu
tons before the conventions. And nj
that the reading was Of most un.
satisfactory nature, for even the dele
gates who were required to vote or
the various propositions involved could

were voting for. Good reading clerks
are indeed rare and 1t would seem that
