NEW PLANTS ADD WEALTH
TO AGRICULTURE OF NATION

Washington, D. G. Dec. 13.-Some
of the results in the search for and
introduction, acclimatzation, and
adaptation of new crop plants into the
United States by the Department of
Agriculture are spectacular, indeed,
almost romantic, says the Secretary
of Agriculture in his annual report
to the President, now made public. To
illustrate what the introduction Of
some of these plants has meant to the
agricultural wealth of the Nation the
Secretary says:
"Durum wheat, introduced in 1899
from Russia, now produces crop
worth $50,OO0,00O annually. Egyptian
cotton, brought by the scientists of the
department. in 1901, has become the
basis of the long-staple cotton indus
try in the Southwest, valued at &c..
100000 in 1917, $11, 100000 in 1918,
and s2o,oo0,OOO in 19i9."

FOR IMPROVEMENT >H
{ IN BREEDS OF LIVE STOCK

Washington, D. G. Dec. 13.-"The
breeding and development Of improved
types. of animal offers possibilities at
least equal to those involved in the
breeding and selection of better crop
plants" says the Secretary of Agri-
culture in his annual report to tho
President made public today. "The
campaign now under way for "Better
Sires-Better Stock is producing ex-
cellent results. It's purpose is to
bring about the elimination of scrub
stock from our herds, thus increasing
their producing capacity 1t costs as
much to raise poor animal as it does
good one, and more to keep it, so
that better live stock makes for in
creased production and greater profits.
The Improvement which can be made
in a herd with a purebred male is
startling. If a purebred isre is kept
throughout, the first generation
second three-fourths, the third seven
eighths, the fourth ifteen-sixteenths,
and the fifth thirty-one thirty-seconds
or practically purebred.
"a concrete example of the impor-
tance of quality may readily be esti-
mated from the slaughter records of
animals. In converting cattle into
beef, for example, the present aver
age dressing percentage is 531a. Poor
breeding, without doubt, is prime
cause of this low percentage. Suppose
our efforts to improve cattle should,
within a reasonable time, raise the
general dressing average only IL per
ccnt-that is, to 55 per cent-what
would be the resulting increase in
beef? On the basis of total annual
pl oduction Of 7,000,000,000 pounds,
which is the average dressed beef
production for the last two years, the
increase would be 200,000,000 pounds
9: year. This is far from being neg
ligible quantity; in fact, it just equals
products for the last 10 years, includ-
ing, Of course, the war period.
Earn More Than Lambs
"Purebred or grade dairy cows fire.
qucntly earn for their owners from
rs to 100 per cent more than the re-
turns received from scrubs. In ty-
pical case, heifers sired by purebred
bulls surpassed their dams, which were
ordinary cows, by Ga per cent in milk
production and So per cent in butter
fat The second generation produced
more than twice as much butter fat
and milk as the original animals. The
United States holds sixth place among
Id prominent countries in the average
yield of milk per dairy cow, being ex-
celled by The Netherlands, Switzer-
land, Denmark, Germany, and Cana
da. Our ability to produce scores of
cows which yield more than 10000
pounds of milk year is ample proof
that our national production of less
than 1000 pounds per year per ami
NAL is, in the last analysis, a refec-
tion of inattention and average lack
of applied skill. The dairy COW is
good example-probably the best
because her production is so readily
measured and because there is so
much uniform evidence in various
countries. But the same principle and
similar facts apply with equal force
to horses, hogs, sheep, poultry, and
other farm animals.

LOOKING FOR A way OUT

For the first time in good many
years the Northern Farmer and the
Southern farmer find themselves in
the same condition as to the future
outlook. They have one crop and a
good many Of them two crops and no
buyers, except at price much under
cost of production. The Northern
farmer who has stuck to hogs has a
better way out than his Southern bro
ther for he can feed his fifty cent
corn to his hogs and get anywhere
from rs cents to dollar for it over
the pork route. The cotton cannot
be consumed by any animal and is a
drug on the market and a .millstone
around the neck of the man who owns
it with another season coming on.
Bankers and farmers of the South
will need to get their heads together
mighty soon on this proposition, and
they have way out of their predica-
n!ent that ought to appeal to both of
them. In some way the farmer of
the Southern states must be financed
into the hog business for it is the
quickest an dmost plausible plan out
of his present dilcma. If every far
mer will buy enough sows to even pro-
duce the meat he and his family and
colored help is to consume next year
his will have gone long ways to-
wards the solution of his trouble. Now
is the time to get this thing done. The
bred sows and gifts are in the hands
of the men in these states who have
gone into the business of furnishing

about 1854, has become in genera
according to the report. The sor-
ghums are the basis of the great agri-
cultural development of the semiarid
Southwest. Japanese rices, secured
in 1899, were the foundations of the
great rice industry of Louisiana and
Texas. The Washington Navel or
ange, introduced from Brazil in 1872,
makes up the bulk of the California
orange industry, producing a cropp
valued at approximately $16,000,000
a year. Continuing, the Secretary
said:
"The culture of dates in California
and Arizona is already a thriving
business, which is expanding rapidly,
and will in the near future have i'm
pressive value. Sudan grass, intro
duced in 1909 from Egypt, is now
worth over $10,00O,OOO annually. Fe-
terita, secured in 1906 from Egypt,
produced in 1918 a crop valued at
$16,000,000 Over 1000 varieties of
soy beans have been introduced from
China and other parts of the Orient
From these the experts Of the depart
ment have, after careful tests, select
ed eight of the best varieties, which
are now largely cultivated and are an
important eleiietn iii the very rapid
uvina alfalfa, introduced in 1899, is
by far the most productive and valu-
able for the Southwest.
The Search for Grasses
Scientists are convinced that there
are still great possibilities in the
search for new crops, especially for
plants that are cultivated little, if at
all, in their native countries. Per-
haps this is most strikingly exhibited
in grasses, many of which have been
introduced accidentally. Thus blue
grass, white clover, redtop, timothy,
and many others which came original
- from Europe make up nearly all
the grass lands of the North, and Bcr-
muda grass from India, carpet grass
from the West Indies, Dallis grass
from Argentina, and lespedeza from
Asia have performed a similar role in
the South. CalifoTnia's pastures con-
sist mainly of species from the Medi-
terranean region, such as alfilaria,
bur clover, wild oats, wild barley, and
numerous others. There are undoubt-
edly in central Asia many species
which, ifproperly selected and intro
duced, will add greatly to the carry
ing capacity or the western ranges,
aside from what can be accomplished
by rational range management. From
this region came alfalfa and sweet
clover, both important in the West.
There is every reason to believe also
that good grasses and legumes can
be found for the cutover lands of the
South, and thus prepare the way for
the further development of the live
stock industry in that section. 1t is
impossible to bring in new grasses or
other valuable crop plants from re-
mote and almost inaccessible parts of
the world without sending properly
trained explorers, and larger funds
for this work are needed"

MIR. PALMER TELLS ONE ON HIMSELF

At recent address before the National Press club Attorney General Palmer told story which struck his audience as being particularly appro- priate, but the application of which he probably did not foresee when he told the story. He had been discussing the question of the high cost of living and defending the administration in it's failure to accomplish the promised reduction. His story was that when he was practicing law many years ago in Pennsylvania, young man came to him for advice and said that neighbours dog had killed one of his chickens and he would like to know what remedy he had. MT. Palmer told him if he could prove the ownership of the dog, that the dog killed the chicken, and the value of the chicken he would go into court and recover damages.
 That is exactly what will do," the young man asserted, and started out. Hold on, sir, !" exclaimed MT. Palmer "can you tell me whose dog that was?" "Yes, it was yours,' the young man replied. Whereupon MT. Palmer settled the case out of court by paying $1.75 for the chicken and then charged the young man $5 for legal ad- vice.
 Mr. Palmer won laugh and applause by his story, but the audience immediately saw the ap- plication of the story to the efforts of the Wilson administration to reduce the high cost of living By its extravaganza and wastefulness, by its con- stant demands for high appropriations which are expended unwisely, the administration has been charging the American people $5 for advice while paying $175 for their chicken. The administra- ton claims to have reduced the cost of living in some particulars which it does not specify, but must acknowledge that it expressly approved an enormous ,raise in the price of sugar, the only benefcaries of which are the cane producers of Louisiana.
