SECRETARY WILSON'S REPORT

The annual report of the Depart.
ment of Agriculture was looked for
ward to with an unusual interest this
year because of the prominence OF
the department came into on account
OF the agitation leading to the adopt
lor or the meat inspection ana pure
{ food laws. both of which the deaprt.
Ment Is expected to enforce. The
annual report OF Secretary Wilson
states that about 1900 experts have
been added to the force of the bu.
reau Of animal industry and inspect
Ion Is now made regularly In about
I'd 900 houses. As this report how
eytfa.,ls. for tho fiscal year which
ended June 80, and the new laws
were not enacted till very nearly
that date, the Secretary is not able
+ to say much about their operation.
Ho. however improves the opportn.
nifty to make some general defense
OF the criticisms to which lhe
department was subjected because It's
own inspectors had not reported long
before upon the conditions in the
packing houses. which caused such
an cutlery when they were laid bare.
He says the law gave the depart
pent no authority to control the
sanitary conditions OF the packing
houses or to prevent the use OF
chemicals as personalities. Its au-
thority was limited to ante-morteni
Inspection and inspection of the
carcass Immediately after slausn.
teri
The explanation Is good one as
fas rs 1t goes, but 1t must be said
that IL the department made one Wig
i orous report. giving even n hint at
the conditions In the packing houses.
IL might have secured It's extension
OF powers and larger appropriations
: long before it did. Congress might
Ignore general suggestion that more
money would be desirable. But IL
could not have Ignored any statement
of facts which would have aroused
y tue country as did the Neill-Reynolds
report
An examination of the report, how
ever, will show how he happened to
lat the packing house evil escape
his notice. 1t is because his heart
Is In another part of the work.
( Wilson is a teacher and scientist.
What he delights Is to tee.cii the
farmer how to raise crops success
I. fully. The introduction of new
methods, crops, methods of increas-
Ing yields, the testing of new soils
foi the purpose of learning what
crops are adapted for them and
what they need to bring better results
the utilization of waste lands, the
I conduct of experimental farms-these
are the lines of work to which Mr..
Wilson has given the best thought of
B his best years. No one could have
been found to have done 1t better.
He has endeavored to put American
agriculture on scientific basis, and
Ito great extent he has succeeded.
He has carefully given an impetus
to methods which will revolutionize
the industry in time. Secretary VIII
sons work for the farmers has been
Ia great work, well worth doing and
well done.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE

A Roosevelt document Is habit
nally characterized by little moral
dlsQuisitions Of obvious and undis-
prted truth. In this one, az in
others, there is liberal sprink-
Inns OF easy platitude.-Richmond
Times Dispatch.
Taken as a whole. the message is
most interesting document. 1t
may not lead to much legislation
at this brief session of Congress,
but 1t sets forth admirably, from
the presidents point of view, "the
state OF the Union."-Washingto

The message is characterized
Throughout by. that courage with
which the president habitually faces
public questions. The policy of the
administration indicated by it will

cor slant solicitnde to remedy the
evils from which all suffer directly
o. indirectly, and scrupulous regard
foi the rights of all.-New York
Tribune.
President Roosevelt's message
read on yesterday before the two
branches of Congress is an unusually
interesting document of its kind.
1t has the distinctly Rooseveltian
merit of bold and vigorous pro.
ncuncement. Mr.. Roosevelt Is rarely
a dodger. Whenever undertaking to
deal with subject. he does So in
no hating or composition to evade
treatment of any question of nat.
ional concern, however embarrass.
Ing or delicate in bearing it may
prove to be.-Lynchburg News.
To sum up this message is note
worthy for It's great length, its
vigorous and easy style, It's candor,
its emphatic reiteration of former
views as to the intelligent restraint
of aggregated wealth, Its plea for
less technicality in legal procedure,
its failure to say anything about
tsriff revision, and It's aggressive
defiance of the State rights doctrine

FRUIT STORAGE EXPERIMENTS
General Government and Iowa State
Cooperate to Prolong Life Of Apple.

AMES lOWA.-Iowa orchards are producing a
superabundance Of fall apples and q proportion
ate scarcity of late winter fruit. This Is partic-
ularly the case in the northern half of the state
where there Is great scarcity of hardy varieties
OF good winter apples This condition presents
TWO problems Of economic importance
Inc cold storage of fall varieties thereby
!engthenlng their season and making, 1t posi-
PIE to distribute the crop to more distant mar
hes, and also at better prices to the grower
The storage of fall sorts for local market and
nome consumption in winter as a substitute for
Iate varieties The aggregate amount Of fall
apples which annually goes to waste in Iowa is
enormous. With ample storage facilities and
and after it Is stored there can be no donbt that
much OF this loss might be prevented and thou
SANDS OF dollars which are sent out of the sta to
grower. II '
1t has been clearly demonstrated bv o.rep,,,r
conducted cold-storage experiments that many Of
the fall varieties of apples can be kept two and
three. months beyond their normal period for
hrst-class condition. variety varies much in
ITS storage quality under different soil and
climatic conditions, and while the leading com.
mercial varieties grown in Iowa have already
been tried In storage in older fruit growing SEQ
tions yet these tests do not apply to Iowa con-
ditions, and the value Of Iowa fruit FOR stor-
age has not yet been determined.
The horticultural section Of the Iowa experi
met sta ton, in cooperation with the division of
pomology of the United States department Of
agriculture, is taking up the investigation Of i'm
portant problems connected with the cold stor-
age of apples grown in this state. Observations
are to be made on the keeping quality of differ
ent varieties Of Iowa apples, as related to the
age of the tree, the type of soil upon which it
Is grown, etc. The work will be conducted by
Fl. ]. Enstace, expert in fruit storage investiga-
lions of the division of pomology in cooperation

This Is the first year In over twenty that
the loco weed has caused trouble in this section.
Wet weather seems especially favorable to the
growth of the weed, and at this time of the
year, after the cotton comes out, it Is more
quickly fatal than earlier In the season. Not
only horses, but also cattle and sometimes even
sheep, form the fatal habit. After an animal
has tasted it he becomes mad for it, and will
eat nothing else. After eating it the animal
is practically intoxicated and becomes unreason-
able, unreliable and senseless. So. . 49,
The most alarming characteristics of the habit
are that 1t is almost impossible to break and
also that If horse Is once broken of it he is
seldom good for anything afterwards. The only
hope Is to change his range and to get him into
country where his fnvorite~ dope cannot be
found but even this expedient often fails, for if
he cannot obtain the weed the animal may re-
fuse to eat and die ultimately of starvation

: Asked to discuss the insurance frauds
and the failure Of District Attorney
Jerome to do anything in New York,
~ have said before that I didn It
know what the law was in New York
on that subject. But in Missouri, if
the directors of life insurance com
pany were to take trust funds and give
them to political party, or convert
them to other. than the true owners,
we would call the crime embezzlement.
The Tn offense is, primarily. not in giving
money held in trust at all.
80 l maintain that these directors and
officers of the life insurance compa-
MES had no more right to contribute
the money in their charge to political
campaign uses than they had to con-
trlbnte 1t to the Boxer. party in China.
"Ihe question is going to cut a big
Go2yernor. Folk continued earnestly.
There is moral awakening in this
country. The directors of the great
insurance companies who converted
trust funds to their own use claimed
at first that there was no harm in it,
PIT the people took and will take a
different view Of the situation.''
Discussing party politics, Mr.. Folk

inch OF available space has been utilized for
these exhibits, and that If he had more room
1t could be devoted to the use of other counties
which are anxious to make a display.
MI Smith is satisfied that the agricultural
exhibit will surpass anything of a like nature

many years The crops all over South Dakota
have been exceedingly abundant, and 1t has
rounded out by growing the largest crop of
corn for q good many years. Corn that has

counties have shown their products at the pal-

IN 1892 and the promoters OF the exhibits

vertise the resources of the state. The comfy
commissioners Of nearly all the counties on the
list have appropriated money to make the dis

Lourdes itself has decidedly pros

Of its grotto, which have attracted
thousands Of pilgrims annually. Tho.
the .grotto itself retains all its old sim.
plicity, standing exactly where It did
when Bernadette, the little peasant
girl, went to pick up sticks for her
mother on the outskirts Of the wood,
and suddenly saw, as she said ia love

around it are magnificent churches
and other edifces. The way of the
