started was that farming wealth could
be greatly advanced by bringing into
the country the best products of all
other countries. This means much
work and care. Frequently plant
cannot be transplanted in its original
form; but it can be bred into the
plant that already grows here, or it
can be combined with the plant of an
other country, the final product being
such that it will flourish in some sec
ton of the United States.
His theory has already produced the
results he anticipated; but he expects
it to do even more. His policy of in
Producing and breeding new plants
costs the Government several millions
of dollars every year. The plant scouts
have to have their travelling expenses
paid, and they are trained, scientific
men who command good salaries. They
know the peculiarities of the climate of
the various sections of the country,
and when they discover a fruit or
flower or plant that looks good to
them they have to figure out the part
of the United States best suited to its
growth and development.
But the expense IS more than offset
by the ultimate gain. "Uncle Jim" fig
ures that the introduction and breeding
of new plants increases the output of the
farms at least ten per cent. each year

THE GARDEN KING

LIE is the Human Hoe. He is the
LII uncrowned King of Gardeners,
and, if offered a coronet, he would
probably ask that it be woven out of
alfalfa. When Ruth gathered grain in
the fields of Boaz, she attained to great
celebrity; and Ceres, having been
lifted up by the ancient Greeks as the
Goddess of Sowing and Reaping, be-
came famous.
But the farmers of the Bible and
mythology have nothing on James
Wilson, Secretary of Agriculture for the
United States. He has taken the world
as his garden, and has worked it and is
working it on plan beautiful to behold.
When he became head of the depart
ment fourteen years ago, it amounted
to very little; but now it is engaged in
bringing into this country the fruits
and flowers of every cline and land.
This is merely phase of Mr.. Wilson's
activity; but, when a man undertakes
to transplant the flora of the whole
earth into the boundaries of one
country, the thing deserves particular
mention. 1t has about it a largeness
that is commanding. 1t denotes total
insanity or unbridled genius. And
anybody who couples "Uncle Jim"
Wilson with insanity is off the track.
Mr. Wilson looks like a farmer, and
when he goes to Cabinet meetings his

His Two Helpers
THERE two upon whom "Uncle Jim relies
for vast amount of work. One of them is Willet
NJ Hays Assistant Secretary of Agriculture, who when
he in charge of experiment station in Iowa. de-
veoped to such extent that he showed the
belt of the country many miles farther north than it
had been before. The other is David G. Fairchid
who is in charge of the seed and plant introduction
work. Fairchld has written lot of books about his
work of them being "Crops of the Nile Valley" and
Spanish Almonds and Their into America
1t is indicative of Mr. Wilson's careful selection of his
that Farchld before he took his present job
through of special study of flowers and plants
the Naples Geological Station and German universe
ties.
The great achievement of "Uncle Jim" is that he has
taught the American farmer to be shook farmer"
There was time when the "book farmer" was looked
upon visionary and man who really knew nothing
about the business. But "Unce Jim" put stop to that
by getting out books that had facts in them In addi
ton to being the Human Hoe, the Champion Gardener
of the World and the great in agriculture he has also
become teacher of His friends boast that it
is he who has changed the entire viewpoint of the farm
of the country by teaching them that farming is
science.
Today he has under him eleven thousand employees,
and of this number three thousand are scientists 1t
fifteen million dollars finance the department,
and Congress donates and half millions more
for the agricultural colleges and experiment stations
throughout the country.

Grinnell, Sept. 5.-Another bold bur-
glary was pulled of in this city satur'
day night when some parties pried up
the grating over the area at the back
end of the Leader store on the west
side of Main street and secured easy
entrance and took their time to NIL
several suit cases with valuable silks
and other dress goods. and added jew

rifled the cash drawer of several hun

up into the hundreds. AS usual no clue
was found to the robbers identity and
they had Sunday for their escape.
There seems to be some reason to
believe that the same parties perpe-
trated burglary at Ewar: on the same
night, as their tracks are said to have
been followed from that place to Grin

ing upon q table with her face over
an open gas burner from which the
gas was pouring. The husband was at
once summoned. as was a physician

own life as their domestic relations had
been happy and she was in good spirits

New Sharon, Sept 5.-Either caused
by a defective steering gear which
caught and refused to work at the
proper time or from too fast driving
or both combined, Mont Powers, a
chauffeur and auto mechanic in the
employ of the Marc Boyd garage, lies
at the point of death at an Oskaloosa
hospital. Powers had been repairing
an automobile belonging to Andrew
Evans and was testing 1t on the steer
hill just north of town. Altho there
was no eye witnesses it seems he was
running the car with fearful speed
down the hill from the north and wher
approaching the cement culvert at the
foot the machine became unmanage-
able, as the tracks show that it skidded
for quite a distance before going off in
to the ditch, where it must have turned
over twice b.fore lighting squarely or
the wheels again. When rescued from
the demolished car Powers was nearli
dead. Physicians who were summoned
placed him in IL car and took him home
but decided la:er to take him to the
hospital at 0shaloosa. Reports later
state that he is in very bad shape. per.
