GUY ELLIOTT MITCHELL.

At the recent meeting OF the National
Board of Trade in Washington the re-
bort adopted from the committee on
agricultural statistics presents many
facts of great interest to the farmers
throughout the country and those de-
pendent upon them for their prosperity,
showing the large scope of the work
of the Department of Agriculture and
the enormous actual benefit which its
investigations have been to all Of our
producing areas.
After discussing the question Of the
Departments methods of gathering
statistical information regarding grow.
ing crops, the National Board of Trade
recommending a modification Of the
present methods, including the cutting
down of the great army Of farmers and
others who are called upon by the De-
partment for reports on conditions of
their crops, and the reorganization OF
the Bureau of Statistics upon a basis
Of fewer but more reliable reporters,
carrying greater individual responsible.

the free seed appropriations and the
substitution of a practice of distribute

will be a probable benefit to the various
sections of the country as a nucleus
about which to build up substitution

a request, the committee received

Why FENCE WIRE RUSTS.
Department of Agriculture say:
Farmers Use Cheap Material.

O(PoA SAuSuS Va says
Farmers Use Cheap Material.
A bulletin setting forth the results of
an investigation made by the Depart
ment of Agriculture into the corrosion
of iron and steel wire fencing was Isl
sued recently to the farmers of the
country. Many complaints have been
made to the department in the last
year regarding the present quality Of
iron an steel wire used n fencing, and
to improve thesc conditions, wit the
hope t determining some remedy for
the corrosion, Secretary Wilson order
ed a thorough investigation, an tn
pertS anne to the conclusion that the
chief trouble is that the average arm
insists on using the cheapest vir
for fencing, and the cheap wire natural
ly corrodes.
The department claims that some
manufacturers hold that if it were pos
sible to make better craze or wire at
even a slightly higher price, it would
be useless to put it on the market, as
the American farmer would not buy it,
because he desires cheapness above
other consideration.
The result of preliminary expert
ments made by the Agricultural De-
partment pointed to the manganese in
the wire as undoubtedly being he chief
cause of the corrosion, and it is stated
that the more manganese there is pres
ent in fence wire the quicker it will
rust or deteriorate.

SOUTHERN FARMS.
Rapid Increase in Values Makes the
Whole South Prosperous.
Manufacturers Record.

While it is true that the industrial
development of the South is going for
ward with amazing rapidity, it is never.
theless true that, by virtue of the ex-
tent of the agricultural interests in
the South, agriculture is yet the foun.
dation of the business of that section.
A change from poverty to prosperity
Of the farmer, and a change from land
without selling value to land in de
mand at an advance Of SO to $50 per
cent. over the nominal price of one or
two years ago, is the most far reaching
development in Southern advancement
of the last quarter of a century.
1t is far-reaching in many ways. 1t
means that within the last year or two
Southern farm properties have increas-
ed not less than $1,000,000,00O in value,
probably at least s1,500,OO0O00. But
more than that, it means that under
this improved financial condition the
Southern farmer has gained new cour-
age, new backbone; that he has learned
how to market his cotton crop; that he
has fought to a finish the great battle
as to whether the producer or the spec
ulator is to control the price of his
staple. Having won this fight, the en-.
tire handling of cotton from the field
to the factory, whether the factory be
in this country or in Europe, has en-
tered upon an entirely new stage in it's
history. 1t also means that land will
be more thoroughly cultivated, for the
successful man. whether he be q
farmer, merchant, or manufacturer,
is always better able to work to good
advantage than the one who is fighting
a losing battle.
More and more the Investigation of
agriculture has gone on and more and
more have fruit growing and truck
raising, "hog and hominy," with the
meathouse at home rather than in the
West, been developed throughout the
South.

tribution of seed by the Department,
and the establishment Of the sugar beet
seed industry, in the United States,
which, from the present indications,
will be a question of only few years,
will have been due directly to the work
Of the Department. Seeing the i'm
portance of developing our own sugar
beet and seed industry, plans were
formulated three years ago to encour-
age the growing of this seed. The
amount expended on this work, up to
date, including salaries and the an
nual cost Of American grown seed for
distribution, will not exceed $4,000,
while the value of the sugar beet seed
used in the United States is at least
half million dollars annually, be-
sides the much greater value to the
sugar beet raisers of having seed
adapted to American conditions. A
conservative calculation shows that the
value to American sugar beet growers
