To the citizens OF West Virginia:
! wish to express my sincere ap.
probation OF your confidence In the
past n electing me TO the important
and responsible Office OF Commission
er OF Agriculture.
Tho work and usefulness OF this De-
partment is limited only by the ability
and willingness Of the Office force to
work and accomplish results, and by
the appropriations made by the Legis-
lature from year to year.
From the beginning Of my term Of
office to, the present time, ]. have en-.
deavored to put into the work OF or
gambling the new state department, all
the energy and thought at my COM
mand.
Some OF the purposes and objects
which / had in view before my cleo.
tion TO this Office have been accom-.
plished. We now have In effect in
West Virginia. one Of the best Live
Stock Sanitary Laws In America, anu
under Its provision several hundred
outbreaks Of contagious or infectious
diseases among u domestic animals
have been controlled and e%radicated.
We have on our Statute Book O splen.
did Crop Pest Law for the control and
eradication Of. diseases and insects af-
fecting our fruit trees and nursery
stock. This is being enforced TO the
full extent OF the means available for
that purpose. The new Seed Inspec.
ton Law is having a good effect on
the sale Of agricultural seeds: al
though no funds are available for its
enforcement. The State Department
has exerted every possible effort for
the advertisement OF the natural re-
sources and agricultural. possibilities
Of West Virginia. These and many
other lines Of work undertaken by this
Department, cannot be promptly pre-
scented In THIS short article, but will be
effectively worked out In the near fu-
ture as time will permit.
Ny whole life, both private and pub.
lie, has been one OF practical, energet-
ic work for the accomplishment OF def.
mite purposes and ] must be Judged

Save Your Irish Seed Potatoes

says: Every farmer should save his
own seed potatoes because every
thing indicates that Irish potatoes
for next springs planting will cost
from So 90 to So so per bushel" 1t
will, therefore, be q good idea for
our farmers who have late crop
Of potatoes on hand to reserve
enough for spring planting. There
Is a large acreage Of late potatoes
In some counties Of the state and II
the growers will store them care.
fully so that they will keep well,
they will undoubtedly BRING excep-
tional prices at planting time next
