AGRICULTURAL REPORT
OF SECRETARY WILSON

The last reports Of Secretary Will
son, head of the Department OF
Agriculture, which covers the
achievements Of sixteen years, the
time "Tama Jim" has served as
chief of this great branch Of the
government service, is crowded with
interesting facts and shows what a
marvellous growth the country has
had since Mr.. Wilson came to the
chiefship of the department. The
dairy COW is one of the principal
producers of wealth or the farm and
the value of her products in 1912 is
estimated at about $3.50, ,000, 900, an
amount which exceeds the value OF
the cotton lint and is nearly equal
to the combined value of lint and
seed.
The Iowly hen is another of the
wonderful producers, it being es-
timated that she laid during the
year 1912, l,7oO, 900, 900 dozen eggs
and if an egg is only worth a cent
and three quarters it gives the tidy
sum of $3.50, 900, 900, and if this is
added to the value Of the fowls rails
ed, the products of the poultry in
dustry on farms amounts to about
S57O,OC0,OOO. This nearly equals
the value of the wheat crop.
The animals sold from the farm
and the animals slaughtered on it
together number about Ill 900, 600,
and the farm value Of these animals
is estimated at $3.50, 100000.
Most productive Of all agricultural
years in this country has been 191Z,
declares the report. The earth has
produced its greatest annual dividend.
| The sun and the rain and the ter
tility Of the soil paid no heed to
human controversies, but kept or
working in cooperation with the
farmers efforts to utilize them. The
reward is high general level O
production. The man behind ths
plow has filled the Nations larder
crammed the storehouses, and vii
send liberal supplies to foreign
countries.

BIRTH OF CHILD

Mississippi Children are protected
by Recent Vital Statis-
tics Law.

Jackson, Miss, Dec. 20.-The
late session of the Legislature en-
acted Vital Statistic Law for the
State Of Mississippi. The importance
and necessity for such a law was
shown recently in the State Of Ala
bama.
z The November bulletin of the
State Board Of Health Of Alabama
says:
A case of much interest has just
come to the knowledge Of this De-
parement. A man in Jefferson
County died, leaving his widow a
piece of property which was not
considered to be valuable. Some
months after the husbands death
a child was born After a while the
property was sold for its taxes.
Some years 'ater, a corporation
desired to purchase the property,
which is now worth fortune. The
investigation Of titles showed a child
has the right Of redemption if it
could be shown that said child was
the legitimate offspring of the former
owner The date of the death Of
| the man was known. The date OF
the birth of the child had to be
proved. A search of the records Of
the county health officer showed
that the doctor had failed to report
the birth. The doctor was dead
The mother could find no one BY
whom to prove the date of her child's
birth. Hence, the mother is brand
ed as bad woman, and the child as
an illegitimate. The child also lose:
fortune of fifty thousand dollars
all because the doctor failed to d.
his duty"
