! Later in the day she seemed little
better; it was the rallying of the spirit
before departure. She knew II was de-
ceitful strength, but it put hope into the
heart of Mr.. Baumgarten.
"Ryle, II he should live, you will al

say that swear to you," he ardently
replied. And Edith Baumgarten breathed
a sigh of relief, and quietly lay back upon
her pillow.
Her voice, hardly to be heard at all,
was growing fainter and fainter. Her
husband thought it must be the faintness
attendant on death; but for short time
she seemed to sleep.
He sat on his arm beneath her neck,
his other hand held one Of her hands. All
was still; so still that the ticking of
Edith's watch, lying on the dressing ia

thus passed when slight cry from the
infant in the next room, followed by the
soothing hush of the nurse, fell upon Mr..
Baumgarten's ear.

The tone, growing inaudible, had taken
glad sound of ecstasy; ard with the
last word, the spirit passed away.

Gradually he began TO take notiac Of
the child; az first he had avoided him.
The old servant. Dinah, who had lived
with the Danes for years, took charge Of
him. Mr.. Baumgarten would sometimes
have him on his knee now, and soon loved
him with an impassioned fondness. He
had nothing else to love.
Thus the months glided on to winter;
the rector fulfilling all his duties as of
yore, but leading very lonely life.

GUY tLLIOTT MITCHELL.

At the recent meeting OF the National
Board OF Trade in Washington the re-
port 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
tiles. and also in the cutting down of
the free seed appropriations and the
substitution of practice of distribut-
ing only those seeds and plants which
will be a probable benefit to the various
sections of the country as n nucleus
about which to build up substitution
grown by the farmers. In response to
a request, the committee received a
statement from Secretary Wilson bear.

While 1t is true that the industrial
development of the South is going for.

theless true that, by virtue of the ex.
tent of the agricultural interests in
the South, agriculture is yet the foun

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

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

more than that, it means that under

how to market his cotton crop; that he
has fought to finish the great battle
as to whether the producer or the spec

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-.

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
late, 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 a 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
of using higher grade seed than is
usually sent here by German seedsmen
will easily aggregate 100000 an
aually. Our work along this line has
progressed SO far that We shall dis
