of Secretary Wilson Has Been
of Great Benefit to Agricultural Population
Number of Employees Increased From
2,444 to 1920 Department Year
Book Just Issued Shows In
crease of 75.7 Per Cent.

Washington, D. c., Aug. l9.-During
the last twelve years, the period COW
ering the administration of Secretary
Of Agriculture James Wilson, the agri-
cultural balance of trade in the United
States increased from yearly aver
age of s2S40O0,O 900 to SAIL 600, 900 or
75.f per cent, according to the depart
ment's year book, Just made public.
This wonderful development is in
keeping with the progress that has
been made along all lines of asrlcult-
ural activity
At the same time, 1t is stated many
conditions affecting the lives of the
farmers of the country have advanced
in even greater ratio until many OF
the undesirable features of farm life
have been eliminated
so increasingly disposed has the
public been to ask and receive the aid
Of the department, and so large have
been the new fields Of work assigned
to it by congress" says Mr.. Wilson, in
a resume of his work, that the mum
Der of employees has increased enor
mously. On July 1. 1897, 2,444 per
sons were employed, and eleven years
later, in 1908. the number was 1920
or over four times as many"
Many have been the innovations
introduced and developed i1to poten
tial forces cor the betterment of farm
life during this period" said Mr. vi
son. The entire system by whicl
the work OF the agricultural depart
ment has been operated has beei
changed. Never before has the wori
OF state agricultural colleges and ex
perimental stations been so intimate
ly related with the department a
now"
During these twelve years therl
has been a great diversifieation am
geographic extension of products,aesr
from the cultivation of new land Al
though there has been a decreasing
production per acre of what was onll
recently virgin soil, there was an ID
creased production per acre Of the en-
tire country.
