To the man who risked everything on

DEPARTMENT OF
AGRICULTURE

The report OF the secretary OF agri-
culture Invites attention to the stupen-
dous value OF the agricultural products
Of this country. amounting in all to
$500. coo 900 for this year. This amount
is larger than that OF 1909 by S306 000,-
600 The existence OF such q crop indi-
Gates a good prospect for business
throughout the country.
A notable change for the better is
commented upon by the secretary in the
fact that the south, especially in those
regions where the ho weevil has In
terfered with the growth of cotton. has
given moro attention to the cultivation Of
corn and other cereals so that there
Is a greater diversihcetion OF crops in
the south than ever beforehand all To
the great advantage OF that section,
The report contnins a most interest

partment in It's various bureaus show

more intense than any recorded in the
history OF the west had introduced a
condition into the forests which made
fires almost inevitable, and locomotive
cases incendtaries furnished tho needed
immediate cause. At one time the fires
were so extended that they covered a
range OF a hundred miles, and the sec
retery estimates that standing timber
of the value OF twenty five millions OF
dollars was destroyed.
seventy-six persons in the employ OF
the forest service were killed and many
more injured, and | regret to say that
there is no provision In the law by
which the expenses for their hospital
met out of public funds. The Red Cross
contributed a thousand dollars, and the
remainder OF the necessary expenses
was made UP by private contribution.
Ice and It's officials, I recommend that
suitable legislation be adopted to enable
the secretary of agriculture to meet the
moral obligations OF the government In
this respect.
The specific fund for hghting fires was
only about Sl36ooo, but there existed
discretion in the secretary in case OF
an emergency to, apply other funds In
so TO the extent of nearly e million Of
dollars, which Will involve the presenta-
ton OF a deficiency estimate for the cur
rent fiscal year OF over $4,000
due TO the lack of an appropriation by
congress available TO meet the emer-
gency. but the difficulty OF lighting It
lay In the remote points where the fires
began and where 1t was impossible with
the roads and trails as they now exist
promptly TO reach them. Proper pro-
lection necessltates. as the secretary
points out. the expenditure Of a good
deal more money In the development OF
roads and trails In the forests. the es-
tablishment OF lookout stations. and tele-
phone connection between them and
places where assistance can be secured.
The amount OF reforestation shown in
the report of the forest service--only
about Il 600 acres as compared with the
$50. 900 900 of acres Of national forests
seems small. and ! am glad 10 note that
In this regard the secretary Of agricul~
ture and the chief of the forest service
are looking forward 10 far greater activ-
lty In the use OF available government
land for this purpose.
Progress has been made In learning
by experiment the best methods OF re &.
forestIng. Congress is appealed 10 now
by the secretary OF agriculture TO make
tine appropriations needed for enlargng
the usefulness Of the forest service In
this regard ] hope that congress viii

An interesting review Of the results
OF an examination made by the depart
ment into statistics and prices, shows
that on the average since 1891, farm
products have increased in value 72 per

buys for use have increased but IL pei
