character of these exports, the 9H- r@aH of Satitictics says:
 While the general agricultural group thus shows a gain of oyer 100 million dollars during the decade un- der review, it must not be understood that the growth applies to all or even a large share of the important items. On the contrary. most Of the staple farm products used for food. such as breadstuffs, meats, and live cattle, show decreased eXDortationS line of articles having been more than offset by the great increase in cotton and certain comparatively new industries whose chief development has occurred in the last few years, notably cotton seed oil, corn oil, oil cake and oil cake meal, olemargar- inc, lard compounds. sugar and mol asses, fruits and nuts. etc:
 Cotton, the largest item iA the az
  portation in the last ten years amounting to 3,651 million dollars, it's annual exports having increased from 2lO million dollars in 1899 to .Sl million in 1907 and Ar million in 1909 This increased exportation is due. in some degree, however, to hi ioT in cent years. In 1899 the average eN- port price of upland cotton was 5.6 per pound; in 1909 9.4 cents.
 "Breadstuffs, second in importance in the list of agricultural products exported show marked decline, the value of their exports having de creased from 274 million dollars in 1899 to l60 million in 1909. The prill- cipal items contributing to this de- crease of 100 million dollars in ten @ears are corn, which decreased from 6? million dollars to ? million; wheat, from lO4 million to 6S mil lion; wheat flour, from 15 million to
 
 to less than one million. This de cline in eXportation reflects increased local consumption of breadstuffs, as illustrated with reference to wheat, production of which has materially increased meantime.
 Meat and dairy products constl- ;rJ n1a group of farm products exported. Their exports, have, on the whole been better maintained during the decade than has been the case with cotton or breadstuffs. In 1899 the to- tai exports of meat and dairy pro- ducts were valued at IF million dol lars; in 1909, 167 million while in 1907 and 1908 the totals were POP million and 193 million, respectively.
 Where Our Products Go.
 American wheat and flour go chiefly to Europe, while large quanti- ties of flour go to Cuba and other West ndes, Central America. Brazil, Japan and the Philippines. For Am erican corn the United Kingdom is the largest purchaser, exports there to being about equal to the value of those to the Netherlands, Germany, and Canada combined. American meats find their largest direct mar ket in the United Kingdom, which took. in the fiscal year of 1909, prac- tcally nine-tenths of the'sbeef, over one-half of the tallow, 8 per cent of the bacon and hams, and nearly 30 per cent of the lard, for which latter article Germany also affords a large market.

for uniform laws regarding many things. The states seldom act with serious intent to make laWs cores bonding with the laws on the statute books of other states Take the div orce laws as au example For many years the desirability of uniformity i'll divorce laws has been urged. But there is just as much need of unifor- mity in laws relating to the prepar- ation and sale of articles intended for human consumption as food. The need of such legislation will be pre- sented to the convention by the Wholesale Druggists Association, the Farmers National Congress. and the American Federation of Labor. Mis- branding and adulterations of food are the principal things aimed at.
 Then there is need for uniformity in public accounting, for uniformity in the laws requiring registration of births, the destruction of property by fire and various other things
 President Taft will be the first speaker at the conference. Alton E. Parker will follow him.
 Governors Will Meet.
 Following the Civic Federation conference, there will be meeting of the Governors of the various states who will go into the need of uniform laws in their own way.
 It is significant when not only prominent men from all over the land, but tho governors of the states whose duties must be enormous at best, find it necessary to meet to- 9ether for the purpose of making more uniform. if not better. laws.
 Take fire insurance alone. The an nual loss from fire in the United States is placed at $250,G00,o00 That a very large part of that is covered hy insurance, and that the persons suffering the losses are in many cas- es reimbursed by the fire underWrit- CTS is no argument against more cau- tion and better safeguards against fire. Property loss by fire is total loss to the nation. if not to the in dividual Yet many persons seem to feel that if they can shift the loss the amount of it is lessened, if not entirely obliterated.
 The governors may not accomplish
 any great immediate results, but the mere fact hat they see the good of meeting to discuss the poSslblll- ties of securing uniformity in lesisa- tion is an encouraging sign.
 Without doubt one of the most vital questions before the public at this time is pure food and the cost of living" If the governors can see any way to protect the public against either high prices or food stuhs of character, they will have justified their activity for uniform legislation.
 Food Exports Decrease.
 If the cost of food has been going up, and up and up until it is now al most out of sight, there may posslDlE be some consolation in the statement that the United States has exported nine billion dollars worth Of agri- cultural products in ten years ana inc evident suggestion that such pro dncts must he even dearer in foreign countries than they are here.
 The increase in such exports moreover, has been steady and gen eral up to 1907 when the maximum of s1,o49 100000 was reached. In 1ooo it was sSsS, 100000. As to the

almost exclusively to tine United Kingdom, and in lesser numbers To MeXico Canada and Belgium. Amee- ican swine are exported mostly to the West indies and Bermuda and McXico; while American horses and mules are sent chiefly to Canada and the United Kingdom. Cotton seed oil from the United States goes almost exclusively to Europe. Italy and the Netherlands being the largest mar kets. while the United Kingdom and tries of destination. Europe took fully D million dollars worth of American tobacco, out of a total eX- port in the fiscal year 1909 of 3l million. For American cotton Eu- rope is also the largest foreign mar ket, over nine-tenths of the cotton
 exports going to that grand divi- sion"
 Food CoStlier but Better.
 Without doubt food stuffs are bet ter in quality, if higher in price One reason why they are higher in price is pretty generally ignored. It is because of the pure food campaign inaugurated by the government un- der Dr Wiley. Chief Chemist of the Department of Agriculture. Dr. Wi ley will not permit interruptions dealers, if he knows it to foist up on the public articles of food which arc different from what they purport to be- The militant doctor has made some mistakes. He has been reyers- question, and by the Remsen Board on boEzoate of soda. which is found to be no more harmful as DreSer- Vatiye than common salt. Salt is not a food; neither is benzoate An eX- cess or salt in any kind of food would not be tolerated yet sometimes fraud is committed by putting too much salt in food sold by weight-for in stance, butter. Salt, of course, is can sell heavily salted butter at the same price per pound that he can get for unsalted butter, he is making q dishonest profit.
 But to return to Dr. Wiley He is so useful an official that the presi- dent does not want to dispense with him even though he is a'"crank.' and the wine, molasses, fruit, and pack
 ing interests are all after his scalp mans dinner pail and the poor mans breakfast table cost more money. Perhaps it is well that he is doing so, although when l say Dr. Wiley it is only another way of say ing Secretary Wilson, who lays down the policy Dr. Wiley shall pursue except as regards whiskey and ben zoate
 Another public official who has helped to increase the cost of living is Clifford Pinchot Chief of Forest Service. Partly on account of Mr Pinchots alarming statements that the end of the lumber supply is in sight. the price of lumber has gone up. But Mr. Pinchot says it is not even yet so high as it ought to be. Perhaps he is right but his statement is more pleasing to the lumber mer chant and timber owner than to the consumer.
