James had moved to lay not only the
Gore warning resolution but also to
hold the corrected resolution on the
table 1t was necessary then for SEN
ators to express themselves in one
vote as to the warning and on the
question of the killing of an American
on an unarmed merchantmen as a
cause for war.
For that reason Senator Gore voted
to table because he did not favor his
own substitute and had introduced it
merely to get an expression of the
Senate on that issue. The text of SEN
ator Cores addition to his original
resolution and which was tabled with
the warning resolution was as fol-
lows:
Resolved, by the Senate, the House
of Representatives cOncurring, that
the sinking by a German submarine
without notice or warning of an
armed merchant vessel of her public
enemy, resulting in the death of a cit
izen of the United States would con-
stitute a just and sufficient cause Of
war between the United States and the
German empire"
Several senators explained that the
double form of the question was re-
sponsible for the character of the vote,
as few senators wanted TO vote on the
question regarding a cause for war.
Senator McCumber later re-intro-
duced substantially the same resOlu-
ton he had offered as a substitute to
the Gore resolution. The McCumber
resolution would go on the calendar
To bury the procedure the Senate
had dispensed with reading the jour

and home economics.

The, secretary states that the half
of agriculture embracing the market
ing of farm products, rural finance,
and rural organization has strikingly
occupied attention during the last
three and one-half years. He points
out that in view of the completely
and novelty of the problems, the &C
complishments, legislative and admin
istrative, have been notable and sig
nificant. He refers to the establish
ment and rapid growth of the office
of markets and rural organization
and to the enactment of number of
highly important laws-the cotton
futures act, the United States grain
standards act, the United States ware
house act, the federal farm loan act,
and the federal-aid road act.
Specific Recommendation.
Among the specific recommends
tions in the report are:
/. That the secretary Of agricul-
ture be authorized to establish legal
" enforceable standards of strength,
quality, or purity for articles Of food
and for those articles of drugs which
are sold under or by name not rec
ognized in the United States pharma-
copnia or national formulary. The
adoption of legally enforceable stan
dards, the report states, will beneft
the consumer and the honest manu-
facturer. without them it is impos-
sible to carry out completely the pur'
poses Of the food and drugs act.
2. That the department be given
authority to inspect establishments
producing foods and drugs intended
for shipment in interstate commerce
There are many forms of adultera'
ton, the secretary says, which are
difficult to detect without inspection
Of the place of manufacture. This II
particularly true OF foods produced
under insanitary conditions.
8. The Inauguration Of a syste
matte campaign for the eradication o.
tuberculosis in cattle and swine.
recommendation has been included
in the estimates for the fiscal yea
1918 that an appropriation of $75'
900 be made for the purpose.
4. That a clear distinction o.
drawn between national parks ant
national forests, and that a dehnit
policy governing their relation be es
tablished.
i 8. That the name of the ONCE o
markets and rural organization D.
changed to bureau of markets. IN
secretary states that the importanc
of the work and the size Of the OF
ganization fully justify this change
; and that It is in the interest OF sim
, plicity and convenience.

warrant"
He cites q number of instances
showing what has been done In this
direction and emphasizes the impor-
lance to production of controlling
plant diseases and insect pests and
quarantine measures to prevent their
entry or spread.
Distribution Of Products.
The report sets forth what has been
accomplished by the office Of markets
and rural organization in bringing
about more effective distribution OF
farm products and in avoiding unnec-
essary wastes. The value to the pro-
Queer of fruits and vegetables Of the
experimental market news service in
augurated in 1915, the secretary re-
ports, has resulted in insistent de-
mands for an extension of the work.
During the past year telegraphic
reports have been received from 80
important metropolitan markets and
from all railroads serving producing
territory. This information has been
furnished to growers, shippers. and
distributors. The actual monetary
saving due to a wider knowledge Of
market conditions has exceeded the
cost of the service many folds
Some of the benefits resulting from
this, attempt to develop for the farmer
a reliable business basis, the report
states, are the education Of producers
in the proper marketing of farm prod
ucts, the avoidance of unnecessary
loss due to diversions in transit. and
the encouragement given to growers
who desire to reach new consuming
centers.
! Following a systematic survey OF
the centralized live stock markets and
a study of the methods and costs OF
marketing live stock and meats, plans
have been developed for the inaugu-
ration of a demonstration market
news service for live stock similar to
that now being conducted for perish
able crops. An appropriation OF $65,
900 is available for this purpose and
will be utilized during the present
fiscal year.
The investigations concerning
methods of handling and grading per
ishable products and the practicable
ity of the standardization Of the prod
ucts and their containers have pro
crossed rapidly. Several Standard
cation laws, federal and state. hav'
been enacted during the year.
!, The second years operation OF tn
cooperative agricultural extension
act, according to the secretary. ha
, been attended with steady develop
, ment Of the nationwide system o
