Cooper Deemed Overdue.

IN THAT case, Broadway's esteemed

an infected wild rabbit, contact with
its enlarged spleen or diseased liver, a
prick from shattered bone-any one
of these is enough to bring the victim
down with a fever that may prove
beyond the body's strength to resist
and cost his life.
Human cases of the disease have
been recognized in 46 States of the
United States and in the District of
Columbia. To date the disease has not
turned up in either Vermont or Con-

the Mall At that time this building
was more than adequate for the en-
tire staff of 90 employees. This Old
Washington Landmark. which housed
the commissioners and Secretaries of
Agriculture for So years. was razed
in 1890, when the new white marble
Administration Building was COM
pleted.
The old Administration Building,
one of the architectural horrors of
Washington" was relic of the re-
construction period and was thor
oughly ornate. Typical of the period
when the Louvre was considered the
epitome of architectural perfection, it
was embelliShed with a mansard roof,
Gothic doorway. ornamental frescoes,
arabeSqueS. medallions, rosetteS and
wainscoting. Hardly a fitting an
cestor for its unadorned yet beautiful
successor.
Although the entire old red build
ing could easily have been placed in
side half Of any one of the seven
wings of the new building, it housed
the earliest efforts Of a department
which has far outgrown the capacity
Of any existing building. Even the
immense new south building can ac-
commodate only half of the ll,000
employees of the Department of Ag-
ricIlture stationed in Washington.
Forty-three other buildings through
out the city are also used by the staff,
which has multiplied over a hundred
fold in less than 70 years.
The present Agriculture Buildings
were designed under the Burnam
plan of 1901 for construction of Fed
eral buildings along the Mall. About
three years later the east and west
wings of the Administration Building
were erected, and there they stood,
separated and incomplete, until 1927,
when the central portion which now
connects them was begun. This Sec
ton completed the first building COM
structed under the current Federal
building program.
Located in the south building are
most of the 16 major units of the
department, which has been called q
national laboratory in which re.
search pays its cost many hundred
fold to the American people" Here
extensive experiments are conducted
to improve existing methods and de-
velop new means for combating age
old problems of American farmers.
THESE problems cover a vast range
of subjects, such as the causes
and prevention of diseases of live
stock and plants, eradication of in
sect pests, rural engineering prob
lens, human nutrition and clothing,
soil fertility and conservation, and
preservation of wild life and forests.
Every branch of farming is carefully
studied from all angles to bring about
tion.
Literature covering this extensive
field of science is dispensed by main
library circulating 275000 volumes
and periodicals on agriculture through

4,500 current periodicals are received
