 RECORD BREAKER
Secretary Wilson Makes Report Covering l6 Years of Amer
 ican Progress.

Western Newspaper Union News Service gton.-After 16 years, a rec ord for service in the cabinet, Secre tary of Agriculture Wilson submitted to President Taft the last annual re l port he will make as head of the Unit ed States Department of Agriculture The report is more than a review ol the past years work: it contains a summary of the agricultural advance of the country during the venerat, secretary's term of nghiisjS" servic'F eh
 The rec5fd of 16 years has | ] Wrt,en," he says. Tt began wira k yearly farm production of $4,0oO, ,O00,- 900 and ends with $9,532 100000. Six teen years ago the farmer was a joke of the caricaturist; now he is like the stone that was rejected by the builder and became the headstone of the cor ner.
 The tillers of the soil were burden ed with debts" he adds, but pros perity followed and grew with unex- ampled speed. Beginnings have been made In a production per acre increas- ing faster than the natural increase of population. There has been an uplift of agriculture and of country life.
 Most productive of all agricultural years in the country has been 1912. The earth has produced its greatest annual dividend
 The total production of farm wealth is the highest yet reached by half a billion dollars. The grand total for 1912 is estimated to be $9.532 .000, 900. This is more than twice the value of the farm wealth In 1897"
 More than s105, ,000000 1000 is the grand total of farm wealth production. the report says, during the past 16 years, an amount equal to about three quarters of the present national wealth
 From a department with 2.444 em- ployes in 1897 and an appropriation of s3,272 ,902, 1t has increased to 13,S5S employees at the beginning of the pres ent fiscal year with an appropriation of almost $25 100000. Whereas there are now 52,000 requests every week for department publications, there were but 500 in 1907; and during this period 225,000,000 copies have been distributed. In soil investigation. an area of 632,000 square miles, equal to that of Germany, France, Great Britain Ireland and Italy has been covered

PEACE ENvOYS ID
 MEET THIS WEEK
European Powers to Have Hand in Settling of Dispute--Io
 Meet in London.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
 London. for a satisfac tory and reasonably rapid settlement of the Balkan war seems brighter than at any time since the allied armies took the field against Turkey.
 The enyoys from the Balkan king doms, Greece-if Greece decides to participate-and the Ottoman empire will hold the first meet4 t! ae peace conference this week. At the same time, ambassadors of the great powers at London, charged with protecting the interests Of their countries, will meet as court of appeals to watch and advise and admonish the peace delegates.
 To reach even this complicated ar. rangement has strained all the re- sources of European diplomacy. Aus. tria consented to join the ambassa. dorial conference and Germany. which stood aside awaiting the decision or its ally, announced its acquiescence.
 This will be by far the most i'm portant assembly of diplomats since the Berlin conference after the Russo Turkish war.
 One question charged with the pos abilities of disaster is Servia's un- quenchable determination for an At lantic port and Austria's determina. tion that she shall not have it. Ser. vian official newspapers make it plain, however. that the little kingdom has made up its mind to take instructions from the powers so far as public opin- ion in Servia will let it.
 A second interesting struggle will take place over Turkeys endeavor to hold as much of the conquered terri tory as Oriental diplomacy can save for her. The best bargain the sultan can make probably will reduce his subjects in Europe from more than 6,000.000 to less than 100000 and the Turk seems reconciled to this. A third important factor will be the Greek attempt to gain Salonica.
