HON. JAMES WlEON, y. S. Secretary OF
Agriculture. during his long lncumbency OF his
present office has displayed an accuracy OF Judge-
ant a breadth Of views and a wide compre-
heuSiVencSS Of the opportunities OF ms depart
ment such as have never been before SHOWN
and have brought a wonderful amount OF good
I, the American people and have been the cause
to a very large extent Of that consplculty IN
matters of agriculture, commerce and tinance
that our nation has attained.
The cornerstone of our modern agricultural
advancement is the wonderful Hatch bill, based
upon which there sprang into beng experiment
stations in all the states and territories or the
union. The supplementary bills that have aIo-
ed in this advance, the Morrill, and the Adams
bills. combined with the Hatch bill have placed
the United States in the very foremost ranes OF
scientific agriculture and have been among the
potent Influences that have developed our rail
road systems to their present immense mileage.
The experiment stations and local organlZa-
tons throughout the union years ago began TO
ORGANIZE into numerous Institutes and 1t was
found somewhat difficult to get people to act as
institute workers who were competetent to teach
their felloWmen. During the last ten years
this problem has however been solved to a con-
siderable extent and under the auspices OF the
r. s. DEPARTMENT of Agriculture an annual
meeting of Farmers Institute Workers is held
in Washington, this year from November IA to
lG. Immediately upon its adjournment there
will be held the annual meeting Of the Assocla-
ton of American Agricultural Colleges and Ex-
pertinent Stations. These two meetings are so
closely related and merging one into the other,
will afford a vast amount of Information to those
who will attend. 1t is proposed to take up the

UMPIRE SHERIDAN QUIT
BECAUSE EYES ARE BAD

John F. Sheridan, the American
league umpire, who suddenly an
nounced his intention of quitting the
game just before the contest between
Washington and New York recently,
told President Johnson at Chicago
that his eyes are going back on him
and that as he would have to wear
glasses, he had decided to quit the
game for good. Mr.. Johnson sent the
umpire to an eye specialist and hopes
that Jack can be Influenced to don
umpire toys again.

me. They had passed the iron age
