Corn Most Valuable of Crops In his annual report Secretary of Agriculture Wilson says of the value of leading crops: "Corn remains by far the most valuable crop, estimated at eleven hundred million dollars. Next come the cotton crop, which, including the seed, should be worth to the growers nearly $640,000,000. The value of hay, which is third in order, approaches $600,000,000. Wheat, the fourth crop, may be worth $400,000,-000 or $500,000,000; oats $200,000,000; potatoes, $150,000,000. Barley, with a value of $65,000,000, shows a gain of 21 per cent in production in the past seven years. "The tobacco crop will be worth about $5,000,000. A remarkable development is that of the sugar beet, now the ninth crop in value. The production in 1906 is placed at 345,-000 tons, valued at $30,000,000. Seven years ago the value of this crop was $7,000,000. The value of all kinds of sugar, syrup and molasses aggregates $75,000,000." "In the bureau of plant industry, the leading features of the work of the past year have been the co-operative demonstration work with farmers, fruit growers and others under the careful supervision of the department experts and the introduction of new crops of economic value. One of the most important achievements in this latter line is the discovery of the existence of the Siberian alfalfa, a plant native on the dry steppes of Siberia, where the mercury freezes without snow, thus The resources do not win from agricultural use increase the amount of farm land. "The promotion of agriculture one of the main ends of reserve policy. By guaranteeing supplies of timber, it dispensable to the futurement of mining. The throughout the west area in favor of the forest tem." The secretary especially the good will with which associations of western stock co-operated with him reserves have proved benefit to the lumber industry timber consuming public. The available merchant is not locked up free use, but it will not be drier a short-sighted policy, which would leave tween the end of the preseand oncoming of a second Protection of the reservoir has been a most important on the forest service. It congratulation that the during the year was slight comparison with that of favorable effect is due to increased efficiency of them combined with fawmatic conditions. The fact was demonstrated that best service is able to subserative for destructive greatly increasing the use. The largest totals of sa This discovery may mark an epoch in the agriculture of the northwest prairie regions of the United States. Among other valuable plants introduced are a vigorous alfalfa from Arabia and the Tangier peninsula, which has yielded as high as nine tons of green feed to the acre. With a view to increasing the matting industry, the department's explorers have secured living plants of the best foreign varieties of rushes. Experiments in the propagation of many seeds and plants introduced from foreign countries are being carried on at the plant introduction garden at Chico, this state. Great progress has been made in the practical application of a national forest reserve policy. In area, the reserves were increased during the year from 85,868,022 to 96,999,138 acres. In revenue the reserves brought in $767,589.96, as against $60,142.62 for the preceding year. One fiscal year under full control of the forest purchase act has established two facts, viz., that the reserves advance the present interests of the people of the west and that they will speedily pay the cost of administering them. Through government control, the interests of the future are guarded without sacrificing those of the present. The reserves powerfully promote development, they work counter to the prosecution of no industry and retard the beneficial use of no reserve. The largest totals of sand board feet, 73,000,000 in kota, 71,000,000 in Wyoming, 000,000 in Montana. In kota a special reason exists in the sale of timber worms. The ravages of a bark beetle the annihilation of the end and only by extensive cut fested trees can the spread pest be checked and the timber utilized. A systematic effort has been to determine the feasibility stock raising in Alaska. Herd of Galloway cattle have introduced. These cattle subsisted during the summer the native grasses, and able supply of grain and been grown to maintain ing the winter. During the past year the ment has carried out splendid age investigations in some regated districts in Utah, ton, Nebraska and California work being paid for in part appropriation.

Complaints Against Railroads So many complaints have been received that railroads are increasing dividends, while failing to give adequate car service, that the interstate commerce commission is about to start upon one of the most important investigations in its history. The commission will take up the question of increased dividends in connection with assertions that they are the result of unduly high rates. In connection with the shortage of cnrs, there are intimations that some shippers are favored at the expense of others. Generally, railroad rates have not been reduced. The tendency has been to higher figures, about the principal grievance of the shippers is that they cannot get the cars to transport their goods, and these complaints have become general. They have been pouring in on the commission at the rate of hundreds a day. All the time the railroad stockholders have been receiving "melons" and increased dividends. One example was the 10 per cent dividend of the Union Pacific. Another was the 10 per cent dividend of the Lackawana. Still another was the division of valuable rights by the Pullman company. The investigation of the increased dividends in connection with the shortage of rolling stock will be undertaken by the commission immediately, and these followed up by an investigation of the relations between increased dividends and the increased cost of articles of necessity. The year was slight, even by poison with that of 1905. This effect is due to increased efficiency of the patrol system combined with favorable conditions. The important demonstration that the force is able to substitute concrete for destructive use, while increasing the use itself. Largest totals of sales were in West, 73,000,000 in South Dakota, 100,000 in Wyoming, and 53,000 in Montana. In South Dakota special reason exists for press sale of timber with energy.ages of a bark beetle threaten inhibition of the entire forest, by extensive cutting of trees can the spread of this disease checked and the damaged utilized. Automatic effort has been begun to mine the feasibility of live raising in Alaska. A small Galloway cattle has been introduced. These cattle have been used during the summer upon live grasses, and a considerable grain and hay has been drawn to maintain them durawinter. During the past year the departures carried out splendid drainage investigations in some of the irrig districts in Utah, Washingtonaska and California, this being paid for in part by state legislation. Rainage of swamp lands in parts of the United States result in extending or improvelling over an area equal to acres of Illinois, Kansas and During the past year the officers experiment stations have officials and others in making and inspecting to determine feasibility of the large projects and the proper work. The survey information have been carried on in four states. The investigation of the increased dividends in connection with the shortage of rolling stock will be undertaken by the commission immediately, and these followed up by an investigation of the relations between increased dividends and the increased cost of articles of necessity. One point that is made by many complainants is that were railroads are practically in combination, as is the case with the anthracite lines, instead of taking all the traffic they can get and providing facilities for it, they are saving the money on rolling stock and favoring certain shippers in certain localities. If this can be established it will prove the existence of a widespread evil that the rate bill was designed to check, and make necessary recommendations to congress for the passage of a law empowering the commission to compel railroads to supply cars and rolling stock for all traffic offered. Petitions received by the interstate commerce commission also recite exorbitant dividends paid by all the express companies, and these are put forth as conclusive evidence of the ability of the companies to do business at lower rates. The petitioners assert that if the traffic companies by reducing grades, removing curves and improving terminals and switching facilities, are able to haul freight at less cost, there should be a reduction in freight rates. It is believed the investigation by the interstate commerce commission will be especially directed at roads dealing in coal, which were the subject of an inquiry by the old commission last year. Notwithstanding the advance in the price of coal in recent years, as made by the railroads, it is found the top has not yet been reached. It is pointed out that while the It is believed the investigation by the interstate commerce commission will be especially directed at roads dealing in coal, which were the subject of an inquiry by the old commission last year. Notwithstanding the advance in the price of coal in recent years, as made by the railroads, it is found the top has not yet been reached. It is pointed out that while the price of coal to the consumer is continually going up, directors of well-known coal roads are declaring extra dividends. One question to which the interstate commerce commission will demand an answer before it is through with this subject is this: "If the anthracite roads are making so much money that extra dividends can be paid, would it not be more equitable to share the profits with the public, by reducing the price of coal?" The production of wine in California for 1905 is given at 29,000,000 gallons. The next state in production is New York, which is credited with 5,000,000 gallons. Ohio comes next with 3,000,-000 gallons, while Missouri made 1,500,-000 gallons. The total production of the entire United States was 40,000,000 gallons.
