AGRICULTURAL STATIONS press and popular magazines, by the efforts rail roads are making to disseminate the results obtained by the stations, by the establishment of local experimental agencies, as well as by the larger State appropriations for station buildings, equipment and maintenance. In California a substation for irrigation has been established in the Imperial Valley. In Louisiana a special station for rice culture is now in operation. In Minnesota 12 demonstration farms of 80 acres each have been established and 7 more are planned. The State Federation of Commercial Clubs is actively coöperating in this enterprise. Nine additional demonstration farms have been opened in North Dakota and nine substations have been located in Texas. Substations or experimental farms have also been established recently in Nebraska, Nevada, Tennessee, Maine and Oregon. The establishment of fellowships by business firms for the investigation of special problems is another new evidence of the interest in agricultural investigations. An example of this is the fellowship at Cornell University Station for investigating the value of commercial lime-sulphur mixtures as fungicides. In 1909 the stations employed 1242 persons in the work of administration and inquiry. They published 517 annual reports, bulletins and circulars, which were supplied to over 912,000 addresses on the regular mailing lists. The volume of station correspondence with farmers is enormous. The value of the additions to station equipment in 1909 aggregated $744,561. Substantial buildings to be used exclusively by the stations have been erected in Florida, Indiana, Porto Rico and Texas. FEDERAL AND STATE STATIONS. Agricultural experiment stations maintained in whole or in part by Federal funds now exist in every State and Territory, including Alaska, Hawaii, Porto Rico and Guam. The total amount expended for stations maintained under the acts of 1887 and 1906 during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1909, was $3,053,446.90, of which $1,248,000 was received from the national government. In addition to this, the Office of Experiment Stations had an appropriation of $314,620 for the past fiscal year, including $26,000 each for the Alaska, Hawaii and Porto Rico experiment stations, $5000 for the Guam Experiment Station, $7000 for nutrition investigations, $150,000 for irrigation and drainage investigations, and $10,000 for farmers' institutes and agricultural schools. In Alabama, Connecticut, Hawaii, Louisiana, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina and Virginia separate stations are maintained wholly or in part by State funds, and in a number of States substations are maintained. Excluding substations, the total number of stations in the United States is 62, of which 55 receive Federal funds. 17 EFFECTS OF THE ADAMS ACT. During the present fiscal year the Federal appropriation, under the Adams Act reaches its maximum of $15,000 to each State and Territory, or $720,000. The same amount is granted to the stations under the Hatch Act, making a total Federal appropriation of $1,440,000. In a report to the House Committee on Agriculture, the director of the Office of Experiment Stations makes the following statement regarding the effect of the Adams Act: "There is no doubt that the Adams Act has raised the general level of the experimental AGRICULTURAL STATIONS work of the American stations; it has also led the States to greatly extend their more practical operations. Agricultural science will grow chiefly through numerous small contributions to knowledge, and of these a relatively large number have been gained by our stations during the past few years. Some fundamental and far-reaching results have also already been obtained with the aid of the Adams fund. These may be illustrated by the following: The Maine Station has shown high egg production is a family quality and inherited only within families having the ability to transmit it. On this basis a satisfactory method of selection has been worked out. The same thing has been found true of corn. High quality in some respect in the individual plant may not be transmitted, but such transmission occurs within certain families. A new standard for feeding dairy cows has been worked out by Professor Haecker of Minnesota, which is more practical and economical under American conditions than the German standards. It has been definitely shown by Dr. Lipman of New Jersey that such erops as corn, oats, etc., profit by the ability of legumes to assimilate the free nitrogen of the air. How this interchange of material takes place is being studied." FACILITIES FOR RECORD AND REVIEW. The Association of American Agricultural Colleges and Experiment Stations is continuing its efforts to secure the establishment of a journal of agricultural research in which the original reports of the scientific work of the stations may be published, and the Secretary of Agriculture has recommended this in his estimates for the appropriations for his Department for the ensuing fiscal year. The Office of Experiment Stations has enlarged its review of the world's literature of agricultural science in the Experiment Station Record. Two volumes of this journal are now issued annually, those for the past year including over 7000 abstracts. The 22 volumes thus far issued contain references to 78,698 articles, besides editorials, special articles and notes. The card index of the literature of the American stations issued by this office now contains 31,000 cards and is being widely used by students. Copies of this index are deposited in all the libraries of the agricultural colleges, experiment stations and State departments of agriculture. The office has become one of the large investigating bureaus of the Department of Agriculture, its annual income for this purpose aggregating over $250,000. Its investigations are conducted in five main lines: (1) maintenance of experiment stations in Alaska, Hawaii, Porto Rico and Guam, (2) agricultural education (q. v.), (3) food and nutrition (q. v.), (4) irrigation (q. v.), and (5) Drainage. See also AGRICUL TURAL EDUCATION. RECENT EXPERIMENTS. In Alaska cereal breeding, testing of varieties of grain, and methods of culture are the important lines of work at the Rampart and Fairbanks Stations. During the past two seasons an unusually large number of varieties of barley, oats, wheat and rye have been matured at Rampart (65 deg. 30 min. N. Lat.). By cross-fertilization a number of new varieties of barley and oats have been developed. At Fairbanks grain, hay and potatoes are being grown on 65 acres and 50 acres are in meadow. The first self-binding reaper in Alaska was used at the Fairbanks Sta tion the past summer. Of the large number of hybrid strawberries at the Sitka Station at least a score have proved thoroughly adapted to the coast region of Alaska. The berries are of large size, good substance, and excellent quality. The station herd at Kodiak now contains over 60 Galloway cattle which have wintered on native hay and silage. Experiments with 80 Cotswold and Merino grade sheep and two Lincoln rams have been begun. In Hawaii great interest has been aroused by the station's success in growing Sea Island and Caravonica cotton. These varieties grown perennially and fertilized with phosphates yield two bales and more per acre on land not used for sugar cane. Cuttings can be used for propagation and the pruning so timed as to bring a crop when sugar plantation work is slack. Hundreds of acres have been planted with cotton, and the first shipment of this product from Hawaii in fifty years was recently made to Boston. Rice experiments have shown that ammonium sulphate is cheaper than nitrate of soda and doubles yield if the fertilizer is applied at planting or first flooding instead of at second flooding as in oriental practice. Experiments have shown that clean cultivation increases the flow of sap from rubber trees. The station has killed the weeds in rubber plantations by spraying with arsenite of soda, at an expense of $1.25 per acre. In Porto Rico the station has shown that excessive growth of bacteria in certain soils prevents good crops, and that deep plowing and use of chemicals will remedy this; also that chlorosis of pineapples is due to excessive carbonate of lime in the soil. Wind breaks have been shown to be essential to citrus fruit culture, chiefly because they regulate moisture and enable beneficial fungi to keep down scale insects. Coffee experiments are proceeding on 90 acres near Mayaguez and 20 acres north of Ponce. The famous highpriced varieties, such as Blue Mountain of Jamaica and Padang of Java, have done well. A station for cane growing and the sugar industry has been established by the Porto Rican planters during the year. In Guam the station has 20 acres out of 27 in the recently purchased tract under cultivation. Emphasis is laid on experiments with forage crops, e. g., sorghum, grasses, soy beans, velvet beans, cowpeas, preparatory to introduction of livestock. Small cultivators, worth about $5 apiece have been introduced. With these cultivators one man can do as much work as ten can with the old-style implements used by the natives. The Rothamsted Station in England has reported the important work of Russell and Hutchinson on the effect of partial sterilization by heat or volatile antiseptics on the productiveness of soils. Such treatment reduces the number of protozoa which live on soil bacteria and thus permits the more abundant development of ammonia-producing bacteria. In Canada an appropriation of $185.000 has been made for the maintenance of the Dominion's agricultural experiment stations, which also includes $45,000 for additional experimental farms. In Australia experiments in dry farming on the American plan are being undertaken. The South Australian government has purchased 1600 acres of land for the establishment of a government dairy farm. A tobacco experiment station has been established at Danli, Honduras. The Jewish Agricultural Experiment Station, endowed with funds contributed by American Jews, has been located on 125 acres of land about 7 miles from Haifa in Palestine. It is under the directorship of Aaron Aaronsohn and is especially intended to promote the improvement of agricultural practice among the Jewish people of the region. Studies will also be made of the wild prototypes of cereals. Plans have been completed for the experiment station at Oaxaca, Mexico. This will be located on a plantation of several hundred acres in the sugar region. Extensive orchards, of peaches, olives, oranges, etc., will be planted, and the equipment will include an irrigation system and experimental sugar mill. The buildings will cost over $100,000. Special attention will be given to the introduction, acclimatization and distribution of plants and to studies in sugar production and manufacture. The experiment stations in Austria have organized into an association and have designated an official organ for the association AGRICULTURAL LABOR PROBLEM. See AGRICULTURE. 1910. AGRICULTURE. PRODUCTION IN Agricultural production in the United States during 1910 reached the highest value ever attained by any country-a total of $8,926,000,000. This is an increase of $305,000,000 over the previous year. There has been an uninterrupted increase in value of farm products since the census year of 1899, the figures for 1910 being 89.2 per cent. higher than for that year. This is in spite of the drought which prevailed in 1910 in many sections, especially the West, indicating the wide extent of the country and its varied climate, soil, and crops. Illinois led all the States in total value of crop production, with over $290,000,000, followed by Iowa with $234,000,000. The values for some of the other leading States, based on their principal crops, were Missouri $188,000,000, Texas $134,000,000, Ohio $182,540,000, Minnesota $175,000,000, Indiana $174,000,000, Kansas $168,000,000, Pennsylvania $161,000,000, and Nebraska $147,628,000. The crops of corn, oats, total of all cereals, and tobacco were the largest ever produced, but owing to the prices prevailing cotton was the only crop that reached its highest value. The crops of rice, hay, beet sugar, and total sugar were next to the highest in quantity, and wheat, oats, barley, tobacco, flaxseed, and sugar were next to the highest in value for any year. The corn crop of 3,125,713,000 bushels was worth to the producers $1,523,968,000. This is not a board of trade value, but the price at point of delivery by the farmer. It lacks but $3,000,000 of equaling the total value of the imports of merchandise during the fiscal year 1910. The world's production of precious metals, which has been regarded as such a factor in the present high prices, equals for the year only one-third the value of the corn crop. Judged by value, corn was a far more important crop than cotton, which is next to it. Including the value of the seed, the latter is valued at about $900,000,000. The hay crop stands third in value, $747,769,000; and wheat, which has usually exceeded cotton until very recent years, comes fourth with a farm value of $621,443,000. The yields in 1910 were above the five-year averages in the case of corn, oats, rice, buckwheat, sugar, potatoes, AGRICULTURE 19 AGRICULTURE tobacco, and wool. A comparison of statistics fell from over $488,000,000 in 1908 to $274,210,for several decades clearly shows that the yields 152 in 1909, and to $198,090,925 in 1910.

Prominent among these imports were packing-house products (mostly hides and skins) $130,140,313, sugar and molasses $107,716,367, coffee $69,194,333, silk $67,119,108, wool $51,220,844, vegetable fibers $48,234,977, tobacco $27,756,133, and fruits $24,177,160. The exports of forest products CROP AREAS, YIELDS, AND VALUES, 1910. The final estimates of the Crop Reporting Board of the Bureau of Statistics, United States Department of Agriculture, based on the reports of the correspondents and agents of the Bureau, indicate the harvested acreage, production, and value of important farm crops of the United States, in 1910 and 1909, to have been as follows: a Bushels of weight. b Equivalent to 5,930,000 bags of 186 pounds, average weight. c Tons. d Per ton. e Pounds. f Per pound. The total value of crops above specified on December 1, 1910, was $3,735,464,000, against $3,971,426,000 on December 1, 1909. The average of prices was about 8.5 per cent. lower on December 1, 1910, than on December 1, 1909. PRICES. The year was one of high prices for meat and animals, poultry and eggs, and for butter and milk. The gain in value of animal products amounted to $424,000,000. The dry season on the ranges of the West led to the marketing of cattle and sheep in enormous numbers, from Texas to Montana. The slump in wholesale prices in the late fall was not followed by a corresponding reduction to consumers, which led the latter to place the blame on the retailers. The South is awakening to its possibilities as a grazing country. The successful fight against the cattle tick is offering encouragement to cattle raising for beef on the vast upland tracts. Within the past four years the tick has been exterminated from 129,611 square miles. The northern edge of the quarantine line is being pushed steadily south, and the handicap to cattle raising thus removed. FOREIGN TRADE. The balance of trade in agricultural products in favor of the United States amounted to $85,054,606, the highest for any year except 1907 and 1908, but the imports, consisting mostly of India rubber, wood pulp, pulp wood, and woods not grown in the United States, were more than double this amount-$179,610,886, the highest point yet reached. PRODUCTION IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES-CEREALS AND VEGETABLES. Despite unfavorable weather conditions in some parts of Europe the European wheat crop is thought to be nearly or quite equal to the unprecedented crops of the previous season. This is largely due to the Russian crop, estimated at 772,600,000 bushels, or only 10,000,000 bushels less than the high record crop of 1909. Preliminary figures for Victoria and South Australia indicate yields varying to no important extent from the high records of last season, and the promise is for from fair to good results in New South Wales. The total wheat crop for Australia is placed at 93,263,000 bushels. This indicates an export surplus equal to that of 1909, which amounted to about 52,000,000 bushels. The wheat crop of Argentina, the harvest of which is not completed until the middle of February, is estimated at fully 150,000.000 bushels. Late trade reports indicate losses from drought in the south, but the area affected is at present indeterminable. The summer in Great Britain was deficient in sunshine, with low temperatures and excessive rain. The per acre yields of cereals were high, as usual, but not up to those of 1909. Wheat yielded 58,300,000 Winchester bushels, barley 65,000,000 bushels, oats 127,778,000 bushels, and potatoes 129,856,000 bushels. The hay crop was about 9,560,000 long tons. The season was unfavorable in France, the summer being cold and wet. Potatoes were only a half crop and sugar beets were reduced in both yield and quality. The potato crop is reported as short in all parts of Belgium, being a complete failure in some localities; and in Germany the crop was reduced, having suffered from disease, especially in the south. ern part of the empire. The deficient wheat crop of Italy indicates the import requirements at about 75,000,000 bushels, as compared with 35,000,000 bushels last year. The rice crop of that country is placed at 965,615,000 pounds against 1,093,000,000 pounds in 1909; and corn at 97,750,000 bushels, against 94,821,000 bushels the previous year. The production of corn in Russia was 76,000,000 bushels, of barley 440,000,000 bushels, and of oats 1,100,000,000 bushels. The corn crop of Hungary is estimated at 195,000,000 bushels, an increase of more than 30,000,000 bushels over 1909, and the potato crop at 170,000,000 bushels, or nearly 14,000,000 bushels less than in 1909, but still 15,000,000 bushels above the average. In Roumania the corn crop is placed at 106,000,000 bushels, wheat at 106,000,000 bushels, barley at 29,358,000 bushels, a large inerease over 1909, oats at 29,647,000 bushels, and rye at 7,885,000 bushels. The farming interests of Chile have suffered greatly from want of rain. The indications of less than a half crop of wheat, barley, or corn on unirrigated land are reported, which means a wheat supply from two to three million bushels less than the home demand in place of an export of 4,000,000 bushels. The drought also seriously affected the stock-raising interests, which were not prepared to feed stock. It will necessitate additional imports of beef cattle from Argentina, which amounted to 93,519 head in 1909. SHEEP RAISING. The statistical year for the wool trade of Australasia, which closed July 1, 1910, was the most prosperous year in the history of the wool trade. This was due to abundant rainfall and the high prices of wool. The number of sheep in Australia and New Zealand increased during the year, the total amounting to 115,525,581 head, approaching the record year of 1891. These two countries shipped during the year 2,483,643 bales of wool, valued at $161,004,490, a large increase in amount and value as compared with the record clip of the previous season. The progressive passing over of vast estates in Russia, upon which large herds of sheep were formerly kept, into the hands of peasants has resulted in the steady reduction of the flocks in European Russia. These estates were cut up into small holdings. This factor and the increasing rate of land rent have resulted in a considerable falling off in the wool production of that country. AGRICULTURE IN URUGUAY. Statistics recently published on the agricultural and livestock census of Uruguay for 1908 show 43,061 farms or ranches, covering an area of 42,302,021 acres. Less than 2,000,000 acres of this land is culti vated; forests occupy over a million acres and the balance is given up to pasture. This immense pasturage was divided into 66,485 fields, on which 1,194,903 cattle were wintered the year preceding the census. There were 109,449 persons employed in the agricultural and livestock industry. THE TEA TRADE. The London Times, in a review of the tea trade for 1909-10, gives the world's production at about 1,200,000,000 pounds, distributed as follows: China 600,000,000, India 262,000,000, Ceylon 191,000,000, Natal 2,000,000, Japan 63,000,000, Java, Formosa, and all other countries 82,000,000 pounds. About half of that produced in China and a third of that grown in Japan is consumed locally. On account of the growing popularity of Indian and Ceylon teas, Japan has arranged a ten-years' campaign for the United States, at an annual cost of $80,000, toward which the government is expected to give a subsidy of $50,000. Tea drinking is steadily increasing in South American countries. THE INTERNATIONAL AGRICULTURAL INSTITUTE at Rome has been placed on a working basis, and is now issuing a monthly bulletin giving such information as is available as to the area and condition of crops in different countries of the world. An estimate for cereals was issued near the close of the year. A bulletin dealing with agricultural coöperation, insurance, and credit for several countries has been published. Count Faina has resigned from the presidency of the Institute and has been succeeded by the Marquis Cappelli. TOXICITY OF COTTON-SEED MEAL. An important discovery of the year relates to the poisonous property of cotton-seed meal when fed to livestock, especially pigs and calves. The United States Department of Agriculture has announced the finding of an inorganic body, a salt of pyrophosphoric acid, to which the toxicity seems to be due. Phosphoric acid has been known to exist in the meal in considerable quantities, but its relation to toxicity has not hitherto been shown. By heating the meal, as is done in extracting the oil at the mills, a part of the phosphoric acid is changed to pyrophosphoric acid, known to have poisonous properties. Different kinds of meal are found to vary in toxicity, which agrees with practical experience. While the seed from Upland cotton was quite generally poisonous to stock, that from certain Sea Island cotton was practically harmless, although heating the latter resulted in the formation of an appreciable amount of the poisonous principle. LEGISLATION IN GREAT BRITAIN. A farreaching measure, known as the Development and Road Improvement Funds Act, was passed by the British Parliament at the close of 1909. While the purpose of Part I of the act is to promote the economic development of the United Kingdom," much prominence is given to aiding and developing agriculture and rural industries, by encouraging research, instruction, and experiment, the organizing of cooperative enterprises, and the extension of the provision of small holdings. There is also provision for the improvement of rural transportation, development of forestry through teaching and experimentation and through afforestation of lands found suitable, the reclamation and drainage of lands, and the development and improvement of fisheries. A consolidated fund of £500,000 is provided for the fiscal year ending March 31, 1911, and for each of the four succeeding years, which the Board of Development Commissioners may loan or grant to institutions, AGRICULTURE organizations, or individuals for the purposes of the act. It has been announced that horse breed ing will be one of the enterprises subsidized. The second part of the act relates to road building, providing for a road board which is authorized to borrow up to £200,000 a year, to be employed in grants or loans. CANADIAN FARMERS AND THE TARIFF. In Canada a large aeputation of farmers, nearly a thousand in number, representing provinces from Prince Edward Island to British Columbia, gathered in Ottawa December 10 to lay before the Prime Minister the request for tariff reform and other measures. The movement started with the grain growers' organizations of the prairie provinces, who were joined by the Council of Agriculture, a Dominion-wide organization. The deputation is without precedent in Canadian or British political history. Among the questions presented were lower duties in the tariff and reciprocity with the United States, government ownership and operation of terminal elevators on Lake Superior, in connection with which frauds have been perpetrated on a large scale, and the construction by the government of a railway giving to the prairie provinces an outlet for their grain by way of Hudson Bay. On the last two points the outcome was favorable, but on the tariff the Premier's statement gave little encouragement to the deputation. LEGISLATION IN BRAZIL. A bureau of agricultural inspection has been organized in Brazil, with a corps of 15 inspectors of agriculture, to report on crop conditions, soils, water supply, irrigation possibilities, and every subject pertaining to agriculture, as well as to collect and disseminate useful information among farmers, promote the introduction of new crops, etc. expenditure of $300,000 in the northern states has been authorized for the introduction of irrigation and dry farming methods necessitated by the drought which has prevailed. A new law for irrigation and dry farming in Brazil makes provision for opening up remote regions by rail and highways, irrigation reservoirs and artificial wells, dikes along rivers which overflow in the rainy season, the drainage of lowlands along the coast, and the general adaptation of land suitable to cultivation in every way possible. The various measures are to be carried out either by the federal government on its own initiative or with the aid and coöperation of the state gov ernments. sia, that country is reported to have removed the duty on all utensils and machinery required in the cultivation of the crop. LEGISLATION IN THE UNITED STATES. A Federal law relating to the manufacture, sale, and interstate transportation of adulterated or misbranded insecticides and fungicides was passed in the United States during the year and went into effect January 1, 1911. The execution of the inspection rests with the Bureau of Chemistry of the United States Department of Agriculture. In the interest of horse breeding in the United States, stallion registration laws have now been passed and are in operation in 15 States. The object of these laws is to exclude unsound or diseased animals from service, and guard against fraud in the case of animals claimed to be pure bred. An important result has been a rapid elimination of unfit animals and greater attention to the breeding and registry of stallions offered for public service. An organization of officials charged with the administration of these laws was formed in the summer of 1910, with a view to securing unification of the State laws. COST OF PRODUCTION. One of the most significant features of the year was the quickened public interest in agricultural production and distribution growing out of the cost of living. This led to a more searching inquiry as to the factors which influence the cost of production and distribution, and the relationship between what the producer receives and what the consumer pays for products which are not manufactured, but are merely handled. This inquiry has developed the lack of systematic economic studies in relation to agriculture upon which to base An reliable and broad-minded deductions. The subject of agricultural economics has only recently begun to receive attention in the United States, but the present situation strongly emphasizes the need and the utility of it from the standpoint of the producer, the consumer, the intervening agencies, and the lawmakers. The farmer's relation to the increased cost of living has been given attention in the United States and in Europe. In Europe statistics are presented to show that, in some sections at least, the farmer is not reaping the benefit of high prices, since the cost of raising meat, dairy and other farm products has steadily increased. It is shown that as a matter of fact the farmer now gets a less return for his labor than a few years ago, and that the industry is becoming less profitable year by year. This results from the increased cost of labor and other supplies which the farmer has to purchase. In the United States investigations by the Secretary of Agriculture of the prices received by the farmer and those paid by the consumer lead him to conclude that "the consumer has no well-grounded complaint against the farmer for the prices that he pays." He maintains, however, that the farmer has benefited more than others from the changed conditions in values, for the ten leading agricultural crops have increased in the past decade 72.7 per cent. in value at the farm, whereas 85 articles commonly used by the farmer show an average increase of 12.1 per cent. The grand average increase in purchasing power per acre of all crops has been 54 per cent. But the greater part of the farmer's prosperity rests upon a higher yield per acre; farmers and farming have become more efficient. LEGISLATION IN MEXICO. In accordance with a law passed at the close of 1909 the federal agricultural services in Mexico have been reorganized. The new general bureau of agriculture, divided into five departments, has entered upon its duties, and national chambers of agriculture have been established in 11 of the more important agricultural states of the Republic. The Mexican Government has withdrawn its public lands from sale. In the past large tracts of these lands have been secured by companies for colonizing purposes, but the opportunity for this is now suspended. THE TURKISH GOVERNMENT has appointed a director of agriculture for Bagdad, who has advised the establishment of an agricultural bank and an agricultural school, and is urging the richer owners of land to adopt modern ploughs, mechanical reapers, and threshing machines. This it is thought will make a demand for agricultural machinery in Asia Minor. To promote the growing of corn in the southern part of Rus A special committee of the United States Sen |
