surprise to their many friends was that

afternoon at the Hermitage Hotel,

understood that an engagement existed
between these two popular young peo-
pie and that their marriage would oc-
cur in the near future, its happening so
soon was complete surprise to even

brother of the groom, the ring service
being used. Howard Caruthers, OF

Area Of Unimproved Land.
There is room for the expansion OF
agriculture. We have 5000, 900 square
miles of territory. We have 1905, 00O,.
900 acres Of land. We rave $4,000, 900
acres OF land included within our

improved. Three-fourths Of our total
land area is unlnhabited, unoccupied,
untitled, unimproved. and unproduc.

Appropriations for Other Purposes
We appropriate annually from SIX
to seven hundred millions Of dollars
to meet the ordinary expenses of this
government. Scarcely / per cent of
our total appropriations go to ario
agriculture-an industry that feeds,
clothes, educates, and supports 45 per
cent of our people. Six hundred and
twenty-five million dollars have been
spent to improve our rivers and har.
bors; s67,000,000 have been spent to
maintain agricultural colleges and ex
perimental stations, 1925 900 900 to aic
commerce and stimulate the grow
of our cities; s67,OOO.OO0 to encourage
agriculture and develop the country
districts. Millions of dollars are an
nually expended in constructing fed
eral buildings to adorn and beautify
our cities and add to the convenience
and enjoyment of their inhabitants
but so far nothing has been expended
to construct public highways-to in
crease the comforts, conveniences, and
profits OF our farmers.
Four hundred millions Of dollars
soon will have been paid out in the
construction OF he Panama Canal. We
are all proud of this great achieve

The National Government may never
do so great service for agriculture
but hope the very laws we enact for
Its promotion may stand as a fitting
monument to show our appreciation OF
the importance of this industry and
our deep interest in the welfare OF
the 100000 farmers of the United
