DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
Products Valued at $s,926, 600, 900.
Increase Over 1909.

The report OF the secretary of agri-
culture invites attention To the stu
pendous value Of the agricultural prod
ucts of this country, amounting in all
10 SS.o26.0oO.Ooo for this year This
amount Is larger than that Of 1909 by
S5o5.oooooo. The existence of such a
crop indicates Il good prospect for
business throughout the country.
\ notable change for the better is
commented upon by the secretary in
the fact that the south. especially in
those regions where the boil weevil
has interfered with the growth of cot
ton. has given more attention TO the
cultivation of corn and other cereals.
so that there is greater diversified
ton OF crops in the south than ever
before, and all to the great advantage
of that section.

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE

Deals With Question of the Eight

The Census Bureau. 1A"
The taking of the census has pro.
ceeded with promptness and efficiency
The secretary believes. and l concur
that il will be more thorough and &C
curate than any census which has
heretofore been taken. but it is not per
feet. The motive that prompts men
with a false civic pride to induce the
padding of census returns in order to
increase the population of particular
city has been strong enough 10 lead
TO fraud in respect To few cities in
this country. and I have directed the
attorney general To proceed with all
the vigor possible against those who
are responsible for these frauds.
They have been discovered and they
will not interfere with the accuracy
of the census, but il is Of the highest
Importance that official inquiry Of this
sort should not be embarrassed by
fraudulent conspiracies in some private
or local interest.
Bureau Of Lighthouses.
The reorganization of the lighthouse
board has effected a very considerable
saving in the administration, and the
estimates for that service for the pres

preceding year In addition three tend
ers for which appropriations were
made are not being built because they
are not at present needed for the serv-
ice. The secretary is now asking for
n large sum for the addition OF lights
and other aids to the commerce Of the
seas. including a number in Alaska.
The trade along that coast is becoming
so important that l respectfully urge
the necessity for following his recon-

imperial Valley Project.

In my message of last year I recon-
mended the creation Of a bureau Of
health in which should be embraced
all those government agencies outside
Of the war and navy departments
which are now directed toward the
preservation of public health or exer-
else functions germane to that subject.
l renew this recommendation. l
greatly regret that the agitation In IA
vor of this bureau has aroused a coun-
ter agitation against its creation on
the ground that the establishment Of
such a bureau is to be in the interest
of a particular school of medicine. 1t
seems to me that this assumption is
wholly unwarranted and that those
trusted to secure in the personnel Of
the bureau the appointment of repre-
senta tives of all recognized schools of
medicine and in the management of
the bureau entire freedom from mar
row prejudice in this regard.
The Imperial Valley Project.
BY an act passed by congress the
president was authorized to expend a
million dollars to construct the needed
work to prevent injury to the lands of
the Imperial valley from the overflow
Of the Colorado river. I appointed a
competent engineer to examine the To-
cality and TO report a plan for con-
struction. He has done so. In order
10 complete the work it is necessary
to secure the consent OF Mexico. for
part of the work must be constructed
in Mexican territory.
Negotiations looking to the securing
of such authority are quite near sue
cess. The Southern Pacific Railroad
company proposes to assist US in the
work by lending equipment and by the
transportation OF material at cost
price. and it is hoped that the work
may be completed before any danger
shall arise from the spring floods in
the river. The work is being done I'M

The District Of Columbia In viroinia.
! have already in previous communi-
cations to congress referred to the i'm
portance OF acquiring for the District
Of Columbia at least a part OF the ter
ritory on the other side Of the Potomac
in Virginia, which was originally
granted for the District by the state
of Virginia and then was retroceded
by act Of congress I'm 1916.
1t is very evident from conferences
that I have had with the senators and
representatives from Virginia that
there is no hope Of a regranting by
the state Of the land thus given back
and I am frank to say that In SO far
as the tract includes the town OF Alex
andria and land remote from the Po-
tomac river there would be no partic-
ular advantage in bringing that within
national control.
