growers whether this part Of the work
Of the Department Of Agriculture does
not hold out the greatest possibility to
the future Of America OF any branch Of
the government Every now and then
a new plant or new variety is discover
ed and introduced which may revo-
lutionize that particular branch Of
crop production. The macaroni wheat
which the Secretary mentions Is q fair
example. Extensive trials of this
wheat have been made throughout the
middle belt Of the United States, just
west of the producing area for ordinary
wheat, and 1t Is believed that a vast
section Of possibly million square
miles heretofore thought unfit for any
agriculture, is capable Of producing
this new grain at the rate Of from Is
to 20 bushels per acre. With such a
startling showing as this due entirely
to the experimental work Of the De-
partment who shall say when the food
producing limit Of the world may be
reached? \
Bringing Asia to Our Doors.
For every section OF the vastly d.
versified soil and climate Of the United
States, says Secretary Wilson, there is
a corresponding spot in some portion
of the old world where agriculture has
been successfully prosecuted for cen
turtles. What we need is full and COM
plete information regarding the old
world agriculture and the intelligent
application Of that knowledge to our
own country.
It would be possible to extend his
letter almost indefinitely, the Secretary
continues, were we to 60 into the var
ious agricultural possibilities which are
now being worked up by the Office Of
Seed and Plant Introduction and Dis
tribution. We are now at work upon
the introduction Of the Japanese mat
ting rush into the United States. There
are imported annually into the United
States something like hve million dol
lars worth Of mating. The owners Of
a newly invented loom guarantee that
the value Of the annual consumption
Of raw material to supply their fac
tories will not be less than $4,000, 1000.
We are working to establish the cul-
ture Of this mating rush in the aban-
doned rice fields of the Carolinas and
the work has already progressed far
enough to justify q reasonable assur-
ance Of success. We are also working
to introduce q disease resistant strain |
Of Bermuda or Easter lily and with fair
prospects Of success. We are encour-
