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 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 it is believed that 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 Oh the vastly d.
versified soil and climate of the United
States, says Secretary Wilson, there is
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 go 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 i've million dol
lars worth Of mating. The owners Of
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, 900.
We are working to establish the Gull
ture Of this mating rush in the aban-
doned rice fields of the Carolinas and
the work has already progressed far
enough to justify reasonable assur-
ance Of success. We are also working
to introduce disease resistant strain
Of Bermuda or Easter lily and with fair
prospects of success. We are encour.

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
of the last quarter of 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 1000, 000, 900 in value,
probably at least $1,5O0,OO0,00O. 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 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 Its
history. 1t also means that land viii,
be more thoroughly cultivated, for the
successful man. whether he be q
farmer, a merchant, or manufacturer,
Is always better able to work to good
advantage than the one who is fighting
losing battle.
More and more the diversification 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.

Philadelphia, June 8.Joseph Boyer,
the Pennsylvania railroad employe
who testified before the interstate
commerce commission to having re-
ceived large sums Of money and other
gratuities from producers of coal on
the Pennsylvania railroad lines, has
been dismissed from the service of the
company by order Of President Cas-

commerce commission Joseph K
Aiken, who has been chief clerk in the
superintendent's Office of the Monon-

stock in different coal companies

from coal operators on the Pennsyl-
vania lines and had also received $50
a month for several months from a
