SECRETARY WILSON
HONORARY PRESIDENT
U. S. Department Of Agriculture
In Barley and Hop Exhibition

The secretary of state, the Hon. Phi
lander Knox, has sent out to the diplo-
matte and consular representatives OF
the United States in foreign countries
a circular letter informing them that
an international brewers congress will
be held in Chicago. Oct. IL to %. 1911.
and instructing them to bring the mat
ter to the attention Of the respective
governments to which they are accred-
tied, with the request that due pub
Lefty be given to the information and
that the respective parties in interest
be invited to participate in the con-
gress.
The circular further contains the in
formation that there will also be held
at the same time and place an interna-
tional prize exhibition for barley and
hops
The secretary of agriculture in the
United States, the Hon. James Wilson,
is the honorary president of the inter
national brewers congress.
The United States department OF ag-
riculture is preparing an exhibit by
which the United States government
will be represented at the international
prize exhibition for barley and hops.
The department will show what has
been done by several Of it's experts
who have been for some years devOt-
ing their time to the Improvement of
these crops.
The Importance of this exhibition for
the farmers who raise barley and hops
cannot be overrated. 1t is believed
that the first step is herewith taken to
bring about a system of valuing these
important crops upon a basis of fact
rather than upon mere individual pref
erence and perhaps prejudice.

LIGHT Men,

At a certain hotel in Liverpool an
Englishman an Irishman and a
Scotsman were arguing as to which
of their respective countries had the
lightest men.
The Irishman led the argument by
saying:

'HThat may be-" said the Scotsman;
''but we have men of Ayr
