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 a 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 a vast
section of possibly a 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?

For every section OIL the vastly d.

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.
1t 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

ance of success. We are also working

of Bermuda or Easter lily and with fair
prospects of success. We are encour-

beet and seed industry, plans were
formulated three years ago to encour

amount expended on this work, up to
date, including salaries and the an

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

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.

sections of the country as a nucleus
about which to build up a substitution
of valuable crops than those now
grown by the farmers. In response to
a request, the committee received a

has become the standard orange

the Department has expended in the
