McCrea and Cassatt, who was sew
erai years older, worked together about
this time and became good friends.

rapidly up the slope. Years later. when

Secretary's Report.


The eleventh annual report of the
secretary of agriculture, just made
public, opens with the statement that
the farm production for 1907 is we'll
up to the average IN quantity, while
its value is much above that of any
preceding year. The farmer will this
year have more money to spend and
more to invest than he ever had be-
fore out of his years work. The
value of the total farm productions
in 1907 exceeded that of 1906, which
was far above that of any preceding
year. The total value for 1907 is
81, 412. 600, COO, an amount III per cent
greater than the total for 1906, II per
cent greater than that of 1905, 20 per
cent above that of 1904, % per cent
in excess of that for 1903, and 81 per
cent greater than the total value for
1899. If we let 100 represent the total
value for 1899. the value for 1908
would be represented by l25; that for
1904 by 131; for 1905 by 1874; for 1906
by l43; and the total value for 1907
by 49,
The farmer depends not alone on
his field crops He produces meat
animals; he keeps dairy COWS; he
raises sheep for mutton and for wool;
he raises horses and mules; he keeps
poultry. The animals sold from
farms and those slaughtered on them
in 1907 were worth about 81, 30, 000,
600, or nearly twice as much as the
cotton crop.
The area of forest land reserved by
the government was increased during
1907 by $4,000, BOO acres, making the
total area, of the National Forests
more than 16O, 900, 600 acres. In fact,
nearly all the timber land of the
unappropriated public domain has
now been brought under tho admins
tration of the Department of Agri-
culture. This means that these
forests are now being guarded against
fire, theft, and wasteful exploitation
and that their power to grow wood
and store water will be safeguarded
| for all time. At the same time their
present supply of useful material is
open to immediate use wherever need
ed. Timber is given away in small
quantities through free use permits
to actual homemakers, and in larger
quantities to communities for public
purposes. Beyond this it is sold, to
the highest bidder, but under re-
strictions which will maintain a last
ing supply. The National Forests
are not only yielding fuel and Ium-
Der, but they are grazed under govern
ment regulations and supervision by
vast herds of cattle and horses, and
flocks of sheep and goats; and under
proper management their grazing
capacity is rapidly increasing.

new CASTLE TO
PLAN PARADE
Halloween Celebration on
Date Not to Conflict With
Wilmington

Special TO THE EVENING JOURNAL.
NEW CASTLE. Sept 1o.-The Board
of Directors Of the New Castle Athletic
Association will hold a meeting to-
morrow evening when the question Of
a Halloween parade will be discussed.
The association during the past two
years gave very successful parades, but
an idea prevails this year thai the
parade can be made greater and grand
er than ever. There is "a general feel
ing here at present that the parade
should be held the evening following
the celebration in Wilmington. In this
way participants from New Castle and
surrounding country can be in the
Wilmington parade and many of the
floats and clubs from Wilmington can
take part in the celebration here.
George w Bader of Wilmington, In
speaking OF the parade said yesterday
that there is no reason why Whining
ton cannot have the first three days OF
that week and New Castle the last
three and that parades can be held
daily and the school children given a
chance 20 appear in public.

Castle, are for rent For further in

FLOUR PRICE
IS AWAY UP
Costs About 81 a Barrel More
Than II Did Last
Year

The continued advance in the price
of -four has been generally comment
ed on by housekeepers as well as bak-
ers. confectioners and others. and the
prevailing question is. when will prices
stop soaring? Flour ut present is high
er than it has been for several years.
The retail prices range from S525 to
S725 a barrel. as to quality. which is
an advance Of S1.OO a barrel as com
pared with this time last year.
The advance in the price of flour
has been in sympathy with the recent
advance in the price of wheat. South
ern wheat prices on Saturday touched
$i.OO 1-2. as compared with 81 cents
last September. The high price of
wheat has been due tc q big foreign
demand and reports from the North
west that the spring wheat crop has
been injured by frost. Millers say that
the advance in the price Of flour has
not been near as much as the raw
material.
Wheat has advanced 81 1-2 cents a
bushel in year. AS il requires from
four and a half to five bushels Of
wheat TO make one barrel Of flour, the
total advance to the miller has been
between Sl.25 20 S1.56 IL a barrel.
