President Wilson expressed his keen
interest in the development Of scientific
farming in the United States when fifty
or more farm demonstration agents of
the Department OF agriculture called

duced by Secretary Of Agriculture Hcu-
ston.
II am extremely glad to have this
opportunity of expressing my great ir-
terest in this work, and interest which
il not of recent origin" said the Presi-
dent. 1T constitutes the kind of work
which 1t seems to me is the only kind
which. generates real education. that is
to say. the demopstrative process and the
personal touch of the man who does
the demonstrating. 1t is a matter of
some chasrin that our farmers, in so,ie
parts OF the country at least, have not
been producing as much per acre as the
farmers in the old and so-calIed worn
cut soils of the older continents. and il
is matter of pride with me that W.,
should now be overtaking their lead in
that respect and indicating the intel
liRence and enterprise of the American
farmer all over the country. / congrat-
uiate you upon your opportunity to do
work so fundamentally important 20

Washington Dealers Declare
That Little of Australian
Meat Will Come East.

The importation Of Australian beef
probably will not lower the price Of beef
here. The beef is OF qualit,- generally
inferior to American beef 1t comes
frozen. and We are now receiving frozen
beef from the West. Its importation
will probably have very little to do with
lowering the price Of good beef.
This Is the declaration of butchers
about the markets today. 1t is explain
ed that the use Of Australian beef may
lower the price for some grades Of beef
on the Pacinc slope. where it may act
to flood the market, but that little of
this will probably be shipped East.
Moreover, the best quality Of beef will
be just as scarce. it is declared, and
there should be no fall in the price of
high. many people stop eating beef 1t
is probable that some Of these may pur-
chase the Australian beef. but this will
probably not affect the price Of the bet
ter quality.
1t is noticed that probably is al
ways included in the opinion of the mar
ketmen who discussed the matter today.
Asked the reason for this, they declared
that 1t was difficult to forsee the effect
Of having large quantities Of cheap
beer dumped on the markets.
It Is then explained that even II any
Of the Australian beef should reach the
Washington market, shipping charges
would be SO great as to make doubtful
any decided lowering in the price below
that of the present Of like quality.
1T will merely be taken up by those
who wish the cheaper qualities of beef
and who are now probably not purchas-
ing beef to any large extent" 1t was de-
clared by one big meat dealer In the
central market today.

HOUSE IN CAPITAL
Secretary Of Agriculture and
Wife Will Occupy Residence
Off Dupont Circle.

The Secretary Of Agriculture and Mrs.
Houston have leased the handsome resi-
dence at iii P street northwest, Just
of Dupont Circle. Workmen began
making slight alterations Of the interior
today, and the Cabinet family expects
to move into the house next week. The
house is leased furnished.
Eldridge E. Jordan owned this prop
erty until about three years ago. when
1t was purchased by Capt. Floyd Har-
ris. U. 8. A., retired, who lived there
until few weeks ago. The considera-
tion In this transaction Is understood
to have been $4,000 Captain Harris will
sail for Europe shortly.
The residence Is three stories high
and contains about twenty rooms. but
both the exterior and interior are sim
pie. The brick front Is devoid even OF
the usual stone trimmings.' The place is
especially desirable because Of large
lot on the side nearest Dupont circle.
Since his appointment as Secretary OF
Agriculture, Secretary Houston and
Mrs Houston have lived at the High

lease was effected by Richardson Glib
son. in the Office Of Harry v. Bouic &
