Wasurncton, D. C., November 13, 1915. TR: In spite of the greatly disturbed condition of the world during the last 15 months, agriculture in the United States, as a whole, has prospered. In some sections the war raging in Europe has caused severe hardships and great financial loss, while in other sections its first result at least has been very considerable financial! gain. It has borne very heavily on the southern cotton farmer, forcing a great reduction in the price of cotton and an attempt at a hasty readjustment. It has operated to stimulate the production of foodstuffs, and to producers of such commodities it has, in the main, brought increased prices. The outbreak of the war found this country in a peculiarly fortunate agricultural situation. The year 1914 witnessed an unusually large production of a number of staple crops. The wheat crop cf 891,000,000 bushels established the Na- tion’s record and was 128,000,000 bushels larger than that of any other year. The corn crop of 2,673,000,000 bushels, while it was only an average one, exceeded that of 1913 by 226,000,000 bushels. The oats crop of 1,141,000,000 bushels was the third largest on record. The potato crop of 406,- 060,000 bushels was 74,000,000 bushels larger than that of the preceding year and the second in size in the history of the Nation. The barley crop of 195,000,000 bushels was nearly 17,000,000 bushels greater than that of 1913 and the second largest on record. The tobacco crop of 1,035,000,000 pounds was exceeded only by those of 1909 and 1910. The 9 10 Yearbook of the Department of Agriculture. hay crop of 70,071,000 tons was the third in size, and the cot- ton crop of 16,185,000 bales exceeded the next largest, that of 1911, by 442,000 bales. The total estimated value of all farm crops and animal products for the year is $9,873,000,000, an amount greater by $83,000,000 than the next largest crop value, that of 1913, notwithstanding the great decrease in the price of cotton. AGRICULTURAL EXPORTS. The abundant supplies of foodstuffs made it possible for the country to meet the greatly increased foreign demand and still to retain enough at home to satisfy the normal domestic needs. Jt was fortunate for our financial relations that these enormous crops coincided with the breaking out of the war. Last fall the question seriously was raised as to how this Nation could discharge to European creditors its floating obligations, amounting at the time, according to the best estimates, to about $400,000,000. It was expected that the exportation of manufactures would decrease, and it was not known that there would be available for export and would be exported such a volume of agricultural commodi- ties. Asa matter of fact, between August 1, 1914, and Feb- ruary 1, 1915, the exports were $1,157,000,000 and the im- ports $771,000,000, giving a favorable balance of $386,- 000,000. Of the total volume of exports, $662,000,000 rep- resented agricultural and only $495,000,000 nonagricultural commodities, chiefly manufactures. In the same period for the preceding year there were exported $638,000,000 worth of nonagricultural and $722,000,000 of agricultural products, of which cotton alone represented 55 per cent, or $407,000,000, and all other agricultural commodities, chiefly foodstuffs, only $315,000,000. On the other hand, from August 1, 1914, to February 1, 1915, the cotton exports were only $168,- 000,000 and other agricultural products, mainly foodstuffs, $494,000,000. Report of the Secretary. 11 The total agricultural exports in the fiscal year ended June 30, 1915, practically the first year of the war, were $1,470,000,000, which is an increase of $356,000,000, or 32 per cent, over those of the preceding year, and of $433,- 000,000, or nearly 42 per cent, over the average of the five years 1910-1914. A comparison of exports of the year with. those of the preceding year shows that the exports of horses and mules increased from $4,000,000 to $77,000,000, meats and dairy products from $146,000,000 to $220,000,000, wheat (and ' wheat flour) from $142,000,000 to $428,000,000, corn {and cornmeal) from $7,000,000 to $39,000,000, oats from $1,- 000,000 to $57,000,000, and barley from $4,000,000 to $18,- 000,000, while cotton decreased from $610,000,009 to $376,- 000,000, and tobacco from $54,000,000 to $44.000,000. These products comprise nearly nine-tenths of the total agricul- tural exports. A great gain is shown here in the exports of horses and mules. Usually the number of horses and mules exported is insignificant. The total for the year (355,000) represents little more than 1 per cent of the supply in the United States, and was not sufficient to prevent a decline of about 4.6 per cent in the average price. By far the greatest gain in American agriculture in the first year of the war arose from increased demand for grain. The exports of wheat (and wheat flour) represented about 37 per cent of the crop of 1914, the usual exportation being less than 20 per cent. Farmers received an average of 79 cents a bushel for the 1913 crop and $1.01 for that of 1914— an increase of 22 cents a bushel or an aggregate gain of ap- proximately $196,000,000. The exports of corn, oats, and barley greatly increased, but, as they were only a small part of the total production, the direct influence on prices was comparatively small. The exports of corn (and cornmeal), 51,000,000 bushels, were less 12 Yearbook of the Department of Agriculture. than 2 per cent of the total yield (2,673,000,000 bushels) ; but, as the crop of 1914 was 226,000,000 bushels larger than that of the preceding year, the exports did not absorb one-fourth of the surplus, and the average price received by farmers was slightly less than that for the 1913 crop. Exports of oats increased from 2,000,000 to 97,000,000 bushels, about 8 per cent of the crop, enough to have some influence on prices. The average price per bushel to farmers was 30 cents, com- pared with 29 cents the preceding year. Exports of barley, 27,000,000 bushels, were nearly 14 per cent of the crop, suffi- cient to have material influence on prices; so that, while the production was nearly 10 per cent larger than that of 1913, prices averaged 2 cents higher per bushel. Although the exports of meats and dairy products rose from $146,000,000 to $220,000,000, or about ene-half, they did not prevent a decline in prices to producers of cattle and hogs, possibly because of a still greater increase in available supplies during the year. THE COTTON SITUATION. The greatest adverse effect of the disturbance was on cot- ton marketing. The reason for this may be seen from a few comparisons. Under normal conditions we export more than 65 per cent of the cotton crop, 40 per cent of the tobacco crop, 15 per cent of wheat, 4 per cent of barley, less than 2 per cent of corn, and less than 1 per cent of oats. Or, mak- ing the comparison with our total agricultural exports, cot- ton constitutes approximately 53 per cent of the whole; cottonseed products, 3 per cent; meats and other packing- house products, 15 per cent; wheat (and wheat flour), 10 per cent; tobacco, 4 per cent; corn, oats, and barley combined, about 3 per cent; all others, 12 per cent. Soon after the outbreak of the war the cotton market became demoralized from fear that exportation would be- stopped or materially curtailed and from realization of the Report of the Secretary. 13 fact that the crop would be large. The price to farmers on August 1, 1914, was 12.4 cents per pound. By November 1 it had fallen to 6.3 cents per peund, a reduction of nearly one- half. The cotton crop of 1913 averaged to producers 12.5 cents per pound; that of 1914, 7.3 cents, a decline of over 40 per cent. The total value of the former to producers was $846,000,000; of the latter, $563,000,000; that is, $283,000,000 (or one-third) less, although the production was 14 per cent larger. The meaning of this shrinkage to cotton-growing sections may be realized when it is noted that cotton (and cotton seed) represents nearly two-thirds of the value of all crop production in Georgia and Mississippi, 63 per cent in Texas, 60 per cent in Alabama, and 53 per cent in Arkansas. Interference with the exportation of cotton did not prove to be as great as in the early part of the season it was appre- hended it would be; for by June 30, 1915, the total year’s shipments were within 8 per cent of those of the preceding year; but the value had shrunk 38 per cent, or from $610,000,000 to $376,000,000. YIELDS FOR 1915. The higher prices for grain and the lower prices for cotton stimulated the planting of grain crops in 1915, but caused a considerable reduction in cotton acreage. Coincident with the increased grain acreage and the diminished cotton acre- age there was a large yield per acre of grain and only a mod- erate yield per acre of cotton. The preliminary (not final) estimates of crop production for 1915 indicate that the aggre- gate will be about 7 per cent greater than that for 1914 and about 17 per cent larger than the average of the preceding five years. If the estimates are approximately correct, there will be record crops cf wheat, oats, barley, and hay, the second largest crop of corn, and the third largest of tobacco. The preduction of potatoes is expected to be about average, at least 10 per cent less than the large crop of 1914. The 14 Yearbook of the Department of Agriculture. cotton crop will be a short one, estimated at less than 11,000,000 bales, compared with a production of 16,135,000 bales last year and with an average yearly production in the preceding five years of 13,033,000 bales. This decrease will result from the reduction of about 15 per cent in the cotton acreage and a 20 per cent poorer yield. The quantity of cotton carried over from the 1914 crop will be considerably larger than usual, but, with the smaller production for the year and the larger domestic demand for cotton for manu- facture, the amount exported will decrease unless a decided change in foreign prices occurs. PRODUCTION. IMPORTANCE OF RESEARCH. The obvious need of adequate and effective machinery to make available to the farmer the large body of useful in- formation accumulated through the research work of the department, the State experiment stations, and other agencies sharply engaged the attention of the Congress and the coun- try for several years. The result was the passage of the co- operative agricultural extension law in May, 1914. The plans in operation under this act undoubtedly will go far toward accomplishing the desired end. Farm marketing and finance have demanded and still re- quire the attention of those interested in the welfare of all classes of the American people. A beginning in this field has been made by the establishment of the Office of Markets and Rural Organization, which is at work upon many im- portant problems. The fact that special emphasis has been placed upon the improvement of methods of disseminating agricultural in- formation and of marketing farm products does not indicate that all the important problems of production have been solved or that the need for agricultural research is being Report of the Secretary. 15 adequately met. This is indeed far from the case. It is in- creasingly apparent that as the development of our agricul- ture brings into use other regions, includes new crops, and makes readjustments necessary to meet changing economic conditions, new and vital problems in research continually are coming to light. Many investigations, while more or less successful from the standpoint of the scientist, have not progressed far enough to yield results which can be applied safely to im- prove agricultural practice. In agriculture, as in medicine, oftentimes knowledge of the causes of trouble is attained long before a remedy is discovered. In other cases results which have been reduced to practice locally require to be tested more widely or to be modified to suit regional condi- tions. In some very important lines the researches thus far made or now in progress have been on too small a scale to yield satisfactory results. The limitations of our agricultural knowledge doubtless will be felt more keenly as the rapidly growing system of extension work develops. Rural people thus will be stimu- lated to study their conditions more carefully and will dis- cover new problems. The record of the past half century indicates that the country relies very largely upon the De- partment of Agriculture and the State experiment stations for the solution of such problems. It is clearly evident that when normal conditions are restored it will be desirable for the Congress to consider a well-balanced enlarged pro- gram for agricultural research. It is not proposed at this time to suggest the special problems most urgent and of largest practical importance to agriculture for the investigation of which adequate means have not been provided. Undoubtedly active research should be continued on those which arise in connection with the regulatory activities of the department. Beyond this, pro- vision should be made as soon as practicable for the further 16 Yearbook of the Department of Agriculture. development of numerous lines of research related directly to production and distribution. While, as in the past, special attention should be paid to investigations having direct and obvious bearing upon practical agriculture, earnest efforts should be put forth to discover underlying principles. With the funds at its disposal, the department, through its various agencies, has continued to study problems of production. It has assisted in combating plant and animal diseases, in encouraging plant and animal breeding, in pro- - moting better farm methods, in improving farm business, and in encouraging a better balanced agriculture in the various sections of the Union. THE MEAT SUPPLY. In the last annual report particular attention’ was called to the desirability of increasing the number of meat animals. The department has given added attention to this problem and has extended its activities as far as available funds per- mitted. The farmer who keeps only enough animals to sup- ply meat to his family, as well as the large ranch owner, has received assistance. The attention of the single-crop farmer has been directed to the need of diversification and the intro- duction of live stock as essential to a sound agricultural economy. That more beef animals should be produced in the settled areas of the country, particularly in the South, is beyond question. In many sections the feeding of beef cattle is one of the best means of utilizing rough feed and of supply- ing stable manure for crops. Considerable work has been done in the South by the Bu- reau of Animal Industry to develop the practice of feeding cottonseed cake to cattle pastured in summer; and recent experiments have demonstrated the feasibility of feeding calves to produce baby beef. The success of these experi- ments, it is expected, will lead gradually to a change through- out the entire South. Furthermore, in cooperation with the Report of the Secretary. 17 State agricultural colleges, the production of pure-bred cattle and hogs in the South is being made possible through the organization of live-stock associations andthe introduc- tion of registered beef cattle and hogs for breeding purposes. In the Great Plains region the problem is to utilize rough- age and dry-land grains. Remoteness from market or the necessity for raising crops which must be consumed on the farm makes cattle raising imperative. In the Panhandle of Texas demonstrations conducted by the department in- dicate that beef production may become a feature of farm- ing in that section. Every year a greater number of cattle is fed there and marketed direct. This practice makes it possible to maintain on a smaller acreage more cattle than the old range conditions permitted and greatly enhances the possibilities of beef production. Pig AND POULTRY cLUBs.—Among the most promising agencies for increasing the meat supply of the country, and particularly that of the individual farm, are the pig clubs. These organizations have been developed as rapidly as funds permitted. Originally started in the South, the clubs have extended into many Northern and Western States, and dur- ing the year they had a membership of about 9,000 boys and girls. In 11 counties in Georgia where pig-club work is con- ducted, 11,000,000 pounds of cured pork were produced dur- ing 1914. A large percentage of the farmers in these counties also are producing pork; and the hogs in pig-club com- munities are increasing rapidly in quality, size, and value. Over 2,000 registered hogs, of which 75 per cent are sows, are owned by pig-club members. Poultry clubs likewise have received much attention. These have been organized in 98 counties in 6 Southern States, with a total membership of 4,000. The members are raising poultry for the family table, and the clubs are be- coming centers for the development of the community breed- ing of poultry. 17369°-—yBK 1915 2 18 Yearbook of the Department of Agriculture. ELIMINATION OF DISEASE.—Last year the ease with which the meat supply can be increased materially by controlling or eliminating the common live-stock diseases was pointed out. The direct losses from them are enormous. It is impossible to give any accurate statement even of direct losses. The indirect losses, which also are great, can not be estimated at all. It has been conservatively estimated on the basis of data for 30 years that the annual direct losses from animal dis- eases are approximately $212,000,000. The loss ascribed to each disease is as follows: Hog cholerae 24 © ac ex yar ha tee $75, 000, 000 Texas fever and cattle ticks-__-___*=____ 40, 000, 000 TUDE CULOSIS: sa eer re ten ee oe 25, 000, 000 Contacious abortion 2-23) sist eee 20, 000, 000 Blackleg 2 =. o-Ps le el a 6, 000, 000 Anthrax $57 222 nC Es.)

It has been emphatically impressed upon the country since the last outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease, the appearance, spread, and control of which are discussed more fully in another part of this report. THe CATTLE TICK.—The work of eradicating the cattle tick in the South has been prosecuted with energy, and its prog- ress is making possible a fuller development of the cattle industry in that section. To June 30, 1915, 253,163 square miles had been freed of this pest, 37,255 square miles being opened up during the year. Wherever areas are released from quarantine ‘the cattle industry receives a marked im- petus. The northern markets for beef cattle and feeders are open to southern farmers and the southern market to northern breeders. The elimination of the tick is of great importance to all sections of the country and consequently is a matter of national concern. Report of the Secretary. 19 Hoe cHotera.—While the eradication of hog cholera must be the work of many years and the department is not ready to suggest any one plan which gives reasonable promise of ultimate success, there is no question that the use of prop- erly prepared serum already has had a pronounced effect. Great numbers of hogs have been saved. The systematic eradication work conducted in certain counties in 16 States shows that 178 hogs in a thousand died from cholera in 1912, 168 in 1913, and only 49 in 1914. Only 62,690 died in these counties in 1914, as compared with approximately 200,000 in each of the two years preceding. PUBLIC GRAZING LANDS.—An important factor In connec- tion with the country’s meat supply is the public grazing domain. The lands outside of the National Forests, of which there are about 280,000,000 acres, are not supporting the number of meat-producing animals they should. In the absence of any control by the Government these lands have been overgrazed. That they can be restored to their former usefulness is proved by what has been accomplished on the National Forests and in Texas. On the Forests under regu- lated grazing the number of stock has been increased 50 per cent. Practically the same increase has been secured in Texas under its leasing system. There should be a classifi- cation of the remaining lands at the earliest possible date to determine their character and to secure information upon which to base plans for their future improvement and use and for the distribution among settlers of those portions upon which it is possible to establish homes. FOOT-AND-MOUTH DISEASE. An outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease in the fall of 1914 presented a serious menace to the live-stock industry of the United States. First appearing in the vicinity of Niles, Mich., the malady spread to 22 States and the District of Columbia. Work of eradication was undertaken by the 20 Yearbook of the Department of Agriculture. department in cooperation with the authorities of these States. Foot-and-mouth disease, or aphthous fever, is highly infectious. It is confined chiefly to cloven-footed animals and is characterized by an eruption on the mucous membrane of the mouth and on the skin between the toes and above the hoofs. So rapid and sweeping is its spread that when the infection once gains access to a herd or a farm practically every susceptible animal is soon attacked. Although the mortality usually is low, heavy economic losses result from the interruption and derangement of business. PREVIOUS OUTBREAKS.—This disease has prevailed in Europe for a great many years and has caused enormous financial losses. It also is common in portions of South America and in the Orient. Only occasionally has it reached the United States. The present is the sixth known visita- tion. The first three outbreaks, in 1870, 1880, and 1884, were comparatively trifling; those of 1902 and 1908 were more grave; while the latest is the most serious and extensive of all. In 1870 the infection was brought into Canada with cattle from Scotland. It spread into the New England States and New York but disappeared after a few months. About 1880 two or three lots ef animals affected with the disease were brought to the United States; but no trouble followed. In 1884 there was a small outbreak at Portland, Me. The dis- ease spread to a few herds outside the quarantine station, but, owing to the small number of animals and the limited area affected, it was easily controlled. In November, 1902, the malady was discovered in Massa- chusetts and Rhode Island and later involved New Hamp- shire and Vermont. The source of the infection probably was imported cowpox vaccine virus contaminated with the virus of foot-and-mouth disease. This outbreak was eradi- cated in about six months. The methods consisted of inspec- tion to trace and detect the disease, quarantine of infected Report of the Secretary. ar premises and territory. slaughter of diseased and exposed animals, and disinfection of premises. Two hundred and five herds, comprising 3,872 cattle, as well as 360 hogs and 320 sheep and goats, were slaughtered. The animals were ap- praised before slaughter and the Federal Government reim- bursed the owners to the extent of 70 per cent, the States paying the remainder. The total cost to the Department of Agriculture of controlling the outbreak was about $300,000. The disease next appeared early in November, 1908, in cat- tle near Danville, Pa. It was traced to the stockyards in East Buffalo, N. Y., and to Detroit, Mich., and extended to other points in Michigan, New York, and Pennsylvania, and to Maryland. Investigation demonstrated that the outbreak started in calves used to propagate vaccine virus at an estab- Hshment near Detroit and that the source of the infection was contaminated Japanese vaccine virus. Vigorous meas- ures similar to those employed in 1902-3 at once were put into effect, and the disease was stamped out in about five months, at an expense to the Department of Agriculture of approximately $300,000, and to the States of $113,000. The Federal Government paid two-thirds and the States one- third of the appraised value of the animals slaughtered. One hundred and fifty-seven premises were infected and 3,636 animals were destroyed. In all the early outbreaks the contagion was introduced with imported animals. Since the establishment by the De- partment of Agriculture of a stringent system of inspection and quarantine of imported live stock no infection from that source has occurred. On subsequent occasions the disease evidently has been brought in with contaminated products or materials, and not by means of live animals. Early con- ditions were unfavorable to its extension and made its con- trol possible without rigorous measures. The limited move- ment of live stock, the comparatively small extent of com- merce and transportation, and the relative infrequency of 22 Yearbook of the Department of Agriculture. travel at that period all tended to restrict the spread of the infection. Tue 1914 ovUTBREAK AND DIFFICULTIES OF DIAGNOSIS.—The latest invasion, discovered near Niles, Mich., proved to be the most serious and extensive ever known in this country. Toward the end of August, 1914, the attention of the State veterinarian of Michigan was called by local veterinary prac- titioners to a disease resembling foot-and-mouth disease in two or three herds of cattle in Berrien County. It was not until October 15 that it was recognized positively in the de- partment as the foot-and-mouth malady. This delay in diagnosis was due to a combination of circumstances, espe- cially to the fact that the infection at first was unusually mild and the lesions were obscured or obliterated by lesions of ne- crosis or decayed tissue. After visiting the locality the State veterinarian con- sulted an assistant veterinary inspector on the meat-inspec- tion force of the Bureau of Animal Industry at Detroit (in the absence of the inspector in charge), and together, on September 3, they made an examination of the cattle. They failed, however, to recognize the affection as foot-and-mouth disease on account of its mild type, the absence of character- istic lesions, and the presence of lesions having the appear- ance of necrotic stomatitis, or sore mouth. In other words, instead of the typical vesicles or watery blisters, there were present scabs and pus from necrotic ulcers and the odor of necrotic stomatitis. The findings reported by the assistant inspector to the department by telegraph, and also by letter, were that the lesions were characteristic of necrotic stomatitis and that the affection was not foot-and-mouth disease. A few scrapings forwarded to the pathological laboratory of the Bureau of Animal Industry at Washington appar- ently indicated a form of stomatitis. They arrived, how-_ ever, in such a condition as to render it impossible to make a positive diagnosis. In view of the diagnosis of necrotic Report of the Secretary. 23 stomatitis already made, the prevalence of that trouble as reported continuously by different branches of the bureau’s service, and the absence of any hint of the presence of foot- and-mouth disease in the United States since 1909, the con- clusion of the State veterinarian and the assistant inspector, both of whom had had experience during the outbreak of 1908-9, was not questioned. It is very difficult and often impossible to make a diagnosis from a bit of tissue. Mixed infection, such as was presented in the case in question, frequently leads to erroneous con- clusions. As the virus of foot-and-mouth disease can not be seen with the microscope and will pass through the finest filter, ordinary laboratory procedure will not determine its presence. Inoculation of the usual laboratory animals like- wise is insufficient. In the circumstances it is not surprising that a laboratory examination of the pus and scabs failed to disclose the true character of the malady. On September 24 the pathologist of the State Live Stock Sanitary Commission visited an infected farm near Niles, made an examination of the cattle, and collected specimens, without arriving at a diagnosis of foot-and-mouth disease. Two days later the State veterinarian and the pathologist visited this same farm and several others. The pathologist expressed the belief that the malady was foot-and-mouth disease and suggested to the State veterinarian that he tele- graph this:opinion to Washington and request that, while awaiting the results of a laboratory examination, an inves- tigation by an expert be made. The State veterinarian agreed with him as to the fact, but thought that the matter should be taken up with the local office of the Bureau of Animal Industry in Detroit instead of directly with the Bureau at Washington. The pathologist took the specimens to Lansing, and on September 28 inoculated a calf. By October 1 the calf showed fever, drooling, and mouth ero- sions; but the case was not diagnosed as foot-and-mouth 24 Yearbook of the Department of Agriculture. disease because of the absence of foot lesions. Neither these visits, these opinions, nor the results of the inoculation were made known to the department in Washington until October 10. The pathologist connected with the office of the State vet- erinarian of Indiana, en October 12, received specimens from infected animals and made cultures which upon micro- scopic examination disclosed the necrosis bacillus. The pres- ence of this organism was considered suflicient to indicate that the lesions were those of necrotic stomatitis, On October 5 the State veterinarian of Michigan, the president of the Live Stock Sanitary Commission, and the inspector in charge of the office of the Bureau of Animal In- dustry at Detroit went to Berrien County to make another ex- amination. ds as the association members may desire to buy from time to time during the season. Whenever a member wishes some of the contract commodities, he draws up his order from the confidential circular price list, which is supplied to all members by the association, and sends it direct to the secretary or manager. With it he sends a draft or the cash to cover the amount of the order. There are two methods for handling these orders. Either the secretary mails the order to the wholesaler with a draft to cover the cost, and the shipment is made direct to the member, or the secretary may collect from the members their orders and cash to cover them, then by combining these orders he may have full carloads shipped to a central point, thus saving freight. In this case the members take their goods direct from the car. The association list price to members may be a few cents higher than the contract price, this shght difference being enough to cover the office expenses of handling these ac- counts. The advantage of this plan is that it requires no capital on the part of the association, and the danger of any loss is avoided. The disadvantage is that dealers hesitate to quote prices much below the market unless they are as- sured of certain definite orders. Experience has shown that, although associations may do their utmost to keep these prices confidential, some members will boast to non- members of their lower prices and in many cases members have made use of these confidential price lsts to hammer local dealers down to even lower prices. Such practices demoralize the market and cause dealers to refuse to bid for business of this class. If members are willing to give ad- vance orders for their season’s needs and pay cash, the asso- ciation manager can go into the market and secure bids to fill these definite orders at the very lowest cash price. ATTITUDE TOWARD LOCAL MERCHANTS. The cooperative plan of buying farm supplies should not disregard the local dealer. The merchant who in the past 78 Yearbook of the Department of Agriculture. has extended credit and rendered other valuable services should be the first considered when there is cash to be ex- pended. The cooperative committee should go to such local firms and explain that their members are now in condition to pérform certain service which formerly has been rendered by the dealers, and, in view of their less exacting require- ments, they expect to save to themselves the price formerly charged for that work. In several cases the merchants have welcomed such an arrangement, and it resulted in the creat- ing of an excellent local spirit. The local dealer furnished the goods at a very small profit, because he was not obliged to render the usual service. In many cases the local dealer has the exclusive agency of the most desirable lines of goods, and this plan makes it possible to save on the exact class of goods wanted, but in such a transaction the local dealer should be willing to act as the agent of the buying associa- tion so as to work for the interests of its members. The possible saving to be accomplished through coopera- tive buying is illustrated by the fact that in one case a State co- operative association assembled so many orders for spraying chemicals that they were able to buy very much cheaper than were regular dealers. As a result a large number of retail dealers in that State joined the association, so as to buy their store supplies of these chemicals through this association. THE ORDER FORM BILL OF LADING. Groups of Pennsylvania farmers have been doing very good work with a slightly different plan. Instead of sending the cash with the order to the secretary or manager, each member deposits with his local bank the necessary cash or arranges for the proper credit. The bank certifies that the money is there awaiting the shipper’s draft. This certificate is then forwarded with the order to the secretary of the asso- ciation, who presents these facts to the shipper. He ships the goods to his own order, attaching a draft and the indorsed negotiable bill of lading, also an invoice showing the unit price, weights, and totals of the shipment. The shipper fills in the proper entry in the bill of lading, requiring the railroad to notify the ultimate consignee of the arrival of the goods. The chief point in this plan is the order form bill of lading. This is negotiable, represents ownership of the property, and The Cooperative Purchase of Farm Supplies. 79 must be surrendered, properly indorsed, to the railroad be- fore the goods will be delivered. The exchange handles no money except its annual dues, extends no credit, and orders no goods except for cash in the bank. Therefore there is no liability on the part of a member except for his own purchases; no opportunity for loss, because his money re- mains in his home bank until he receives his goods; no chance for graft, since the transaction clears through his home bank. The bank is paid a small fee for its service. COOPERATIVE WAREHOUSES. _ While the safest and most economical purchasing plan is that of collective or joint purchasing, with delivery direct from the car, this enterprise sometimes results in the acquisi- tion and use of a warehouse when the business grows large enough to require it.. Farmers’ clubs often make use of an extra room in their hall for the storing of repair parts and surplus stocks of farm staples. But this plan of buying in advance of the farmers’ needs involves extra cost to cover rent of a warehouse, capital or credit for buying goods, cartage from station, insurance, expense of salesman in charge, etc. Any association that carries a large stock of supplies on hand for its members is almost sure to experience losses caused by a drop in market prices, or, on account of a change in the fancies of members, it may have a stock of some goods on hand for which there is no demand. For example, when arsenate of lead became popular as an in- secticide one association was caught with a quantity of Paris green on hand. The demand for Paris green became so slight in that locality that the marxet price dropped, and the asso- ciation suffered a severe loss. Such supplies as coal, salt, lime, lumber, implements, seed, flour, and feed often are handled economically by farmers’ cooperative elevators for their members, but as far as possible delivery should be made direct from the car. COOPERATIVE MANUFACTURING. Some associations assist their members by still another line of work involving the manufacture or simple mixing of fer- tilizers; the making of barrels, boxes, or other containers; and the manufacture of spraying materials, cement posts, or 80. Yearbook of the Department of Agriculture. blocks. Cooperative work of this sort requires experience, large capital, and careful business management. It should be attempted only when these factors are present and when market prices are so extremely high that there is a reasonable probability that cooperative manufacturing will result in materially improved quality, substantially lower prices, or both. COOPERATIVE STORES. Attempts of consumers, both rural and urban, to establish cooperative stores have been quite common in this country for many years, and in a small proportion of cases they have met with success. In a majority of instances the result has been failure, due largely to a lack of business experience with resultant poor management, small capital, inadequate ac- counting and auditing systems, and a lack of continued loy- alty on the part of the members themselves. Some of the successful cooperative stores have gradually been taken oyer, through purchase of stock, by private parties and are now cooperative in name only. One of the most successful coop- erative stores on record is owned by miners who earn good wages, are paid regularly, and live in a section that has to bring in most of what it consumes. Most of these miners are foreigners whose wants are for staple rather than fancy goods. They do their own delivering and need and expect no credit. Such a condition is most nearly ideal for the suc- cess of such a store, differing materially from those cases where the proposed patrons demand assortments of fashion- able goods and are accustomed to receive credit, frequent delivery of goods, and similar expensive services. In any ~ community which already has several stores it is better to buy one already in existence and convert it into a cooperative enterprise rather than attempt to establish a new business. While some cooperative stores sell goods at a small fixed percentage above cost, enough to cover all running expenses, experience indicates that a more satisfactory way is to sell at regular local prices and divide the profits at the end of the year or at certain regular periods on the basis of the total amount purchased by each patron. This manner of divid- ing profits marks the difference between a cooperative store PLATE I. Yearbook U. S.

In a privately owned store profits are divided on the basis of capital invested. The chances for success in conducting cooperative stores are not aS numerous or as great aS many imagine. They should be attempted only after a most careful survey of local conditions and then only when sufficient capital and high-grade management are available. SELLING PRICES. Irrespective of the cash or credit element, goods may be sold to the members either at cost, plus office expense, inter- est, etc., or at regular retail price. While the method of selling at cost plus the office expense, interest, etc., is liked by the members, who thus pay the smallest amount of cash for their goods, many manufactur- ers, contrary to the antitrust laws, insist on a specified retail selling price for their goods, claiming that this is necessary to prevent “price slashing” and ultimate demoralization of the retail trade in their commodities. - This sentiment exist- ing among some of the manufacturers makes it difficult to buy from them without agreeing to their terms of resale. Experience has shown that, after contracts have been made with dealers or manufacturers for certain supplies, other dealers who were unsuccessful in bidding for the contract sometimes arrange to meet these prices or offer even better terms. While these lower prices are the indirect result of the action taken by the cooperative association, nonmembers profit by the cut in prices. However, the temporary “slash- ing of prices” demoralizes trade and destroys the inducement for nonmembers to unite with the association. For this rea- son several associations practice the plan of selling at regu- lar retail prices. This plan is preferred by many because it is less disturbing to local trade. At the end of the season the profits may be divided among the members and nonmem- ber patrons in the form of dividends, based on the total amount of purchases each has made through the association. It is believed by some that the paying of full dividends to members and half dividends to nonmember patrons tends to attract more nonmembers to join. Experience has shown that outeiders are attracted quite as much by low prices at time of 17369°—yBx 1915-6 82 Yearbook of the Department of Agriculture. purchase as by the plan of paying regular prices with the expectation of getting a part of their money back at some future time. The plan to be adopted should depend upon local conditions and local markets. CASH IN ADVANCE. The success of any of these plans depends in a large degree upon holding fast to the practice of demanding from all members cash or proper bank credit with each order. This makes it possible for the organization to secure the largest cash discount and insures that each ordering member will take his goods from the car on time. The manager who accepts other than cash orders will be liable to have some uncalled-for goods on hand to store or sell. It has been pointed out by opponents of the cash plan that some farmers have no credit at the bank and lack the cash at the time of ordering. If a bank does not feel safe in loaning money to such a person on account of his character, would an asso- ciation be safe in extending credit to him? As notable exceptions to the foregoing rule, a few western associations make a practice of advancing supplies to their members upon a credit account. But these associations have arrangements for borrowing necessary money, and they are protected against loss by holding contracts from these mem- bers, which give the association control of the sale of the member’s products. This is a form of cooperative credit secured by a lien on the growing crops. Communities that have never had any cooperative experi- ence often find it easier to begin with a buying than.with a selling plan, where local conditions are such as to warrant that start. When the operation of that plan has educated the members to the spirit of working together and accus- tomed them to facing difficulties that are sure to arise, they are better prepared to undertake the more intricate details of a plan for successfully marketing their products. The cooperative spirit of a community is a matter of growth. As the child learns to walk before it runs, so a community should be satisfied to begin working together in the simplest ways and should undertake more elaborate plans only as their cooperative strength and confidence is developed. WINTER CROW ROOSTS. By E. R. KatmpBacu, Assistant Biologist, Biological Survey. THE GATHERING THOUSANDS. N many respects our crow roosts present the most wonder- ful of bird phenomena still taking place in the thickly settled Eastern and Central States. A picture drawn from observations covering a period of several years at winter roosts not far from the National Capital may be presented, with no attempt, however, to recount all the varied activities of these odd birds. The account is merely of a typical per- formance of the gathering clans at their nightly roost, and is equally applicable to hundreds of other roosts located at various places along the watersheds of the several rivers which make their outlet near the middle of our Atlantic coast line; the performance might even be considered as taking place at localities in our Central States, as in central Indiana, Illinois, or eastern Missouri, not far from one or another of the great watercourses where open water may be found throughout the winter. One can readily picture a pair or two of melancholy crows perched in the tops of neighboring trees and exposed to wintry blasts. It is midafternoon, and for the greater part of the day they have hunted together, and hunting was not at its best. An outstanding corn shock, no doubt, had fur- nished a few dry kernels; the marrow of an old bone pos- sibly had offered a morsel of nourishment and an incentive for a lively tilt; the river bank, thoroughly searched for days past, probably contributed as its only donation to several ravenous appetites the remains of a solitary crawfish. But in the rank vegetation of a near-by hill these crows had found on this day, as on numerous previous occasions, the wherewithal to fill their craws; this produced a sensation that was at least temporarily satisfying, even if the nutritive value of the food was not of the highest. There a copious growth of low vegetation—ragweed, pokeberry, poison ivy, poison sumac, smooth sumac, and greenbrier, with an occasional cherry, dogwood, or sour gum supporting vines of Virginia 83 84 Yeariook of the Department of Agriculture. creeper and grapes—had borne a fair crop of fruit. It was the one thing for which our crows were grateful, and in times of severe weather was all that stood between them and actual starvation. Another black pair may be imagined as flapping labori- ously by, flying low, and taking advantage of every knoll, iree, or even corn shock which might serve to break in the least degree the force of the head wind against which they are toiling. Their passing “caw ” is answered and the birds in the tree tops take wing and fall in behind. This com- pany travels probably a mile, when another group rises from a clump of sheltering pines and joins them. A stretch of open country a little farther on gives in greater perspective a view of what is taking place. Ahead are other crows, usually grouped in small flocks, all struggling against that relentless wind. All are traveling in the same direction and in precisely the same unmarked path. Behind follow still others in a more or less broken line, undulating and conforming as nearly as possible to all inequalities of the landscape. An hour or more of such labor and the once rather broken line has become more populous. State College of Forestry........------ Syracuse, N.¥2232.- ee North Carolina. ..-- M.S.

The mate- rial will tan and dye at the same time. Fustic acts similarly and is extensively used for retanning or “ after-tanning” chrome (mineral) tanned leather, especially when it is later to be dyed some tan shade with basic aniline colors. The vege- table tannin color acts as a mordant for the aniline color and gives a good bottom tan color over the blue of the chrome, thus reducing the amount of aniline dye necessary. OSAGE ORANGE FOR DYEING LEATHER. In view of the striking similarity of results obtained by dyeing wool with osage orange and fustic, it is reasonable to expect that osage orange should be as valuable as fustie for dyeing leather. In fact, preliminary tests indicate that this is the case. Experiments made at a large tannery in Mil- waukee on chrome-tanned calfskins show that here, too, osage orange gives the same shades and depth of color as fustic. 204 Yearbook of the Department of Agriculture. OSAGE ORANGE FOR COTTON. Experiments are at present under way to determine the value of osage orange as a cotton dye. Ordinarily a dye- stuff. like osage orange would not be considered as suitable for cotton. The war, however, has deprived this country of its chief source of aniline colors. It is quite possible that for colored twines, cords, and similar materials where fast- ness and permanence are not essential, good shades may be developed that will fill the void left by the present shortage of aniline dyes. ; COMMERCIAL POSSIBILITIES OF OSAGE ORANGE. The greatest hindrance to the commercial use of osage orange has been the high freight rates from the point of production to the North Atlantic seaboard. The center of production is several hundred miles inland, and the rail freight to a port like Galveston is practically as great as the total cost of transporting fustic from the interior of Mexico to New York or Philadelphia. Several concerns interested in the development of osage orange, however, are surveying the ground in the Southwest with the idea of erecting extract plants there. Should such a plan prove feasible, a long step will be taken toward the commercial exploitation of osage-orange dyes. Since the yield from osage orange is about 80 or 85 per cent of that from fustic, the cost of operating an osage- orange plant will, of course, be somewhat greater than that for a fustic plant of the same capacity. This must be taken into account in comparing the two raw materials as a source of dye. Because osage orange is not at present on the market, it is difficult to give exact figures of cost. One con- cern in the East, however, states that, as compared with fustic, for which they paid $25 a ton in the spring of 1915, osage orange would be worth $14 a ton. As far as the actual cost of the two woods is concerned, osage orange has a dis- tinct advantage over fustic. Quotations secured by the Forest Products Laboratory from osage-orange producers in the Southwest for culled fence posts and other forms of waste, not bark, averaged $5 a ton. With an extract plant in its region of production there will probably be a consider- able margin in favor of osage orange even in normal times. CHINA A FRUITFUL FIELD FOR PLANT EXPLORATION. (Plates XXIX to XXXVI.) By Frank N. Meyer, Agricultural Explorer, Office of Foreign Seed and Plant Introduction, Bureau of Plant Industry. AD a race like the Chinese been living on the North H American continent for forty centuries it.is very likely that they would have evolved out of our native wild species of fruits varieties of great merit. Since the continent has not been occupied by an indigenous race of people which took pains to develop such native species as our American plums, hawthorns, persimmons, hickories, and numerous others, many of our plants have been neglected. The Caucasian races appeared late on American soil and they had already developed so many types of their own which they brought with them that they naturally did not pay much attention to the strictly native American plants. However, many plants which came from western and southern Europe were not entirely successful on American soil, some even proving to be almost complete failures, such as certain European varieties of gooseberries, currants, raspberries, and strawberries. When the immigrants settled the western por- tion of the country it became especially apparent that many of these European cultivated varieties of fruits and vege- tables were unsuited to the climatic and soil conditions pre- vailing there. This was because the climate of Europe was much more equable, more like the northern Pacific coast region than that of the Middle West. When we turn to other countries, particularly toward Asia, we find that in China, especially, climatic and soil conditions are in the main very similar to those in the United States; in fact, China’s wild vegetation in some parts resembles that of the eastern United States to such an extent that a person suddenly transported from either region to the other would not always exactly realize where he was. Fortunately, China has been settled for some forty centu- ries or longer and her industrious peoples have developed 205 206 Yearbook of the Department of Agriculture. from their native vegetation many improved varieties and types which are admirably suited to their local conditions. The climatic conditions in many parts of China being simi- lar to those in certain parts of the United States, we need not - hesitate about predicting the success of certain Chinese plant industries when they have been transplanted to this country, aside, of course, from certain economic conditions which are entirely different in China from what they are in North America. Certain plants from China, indeed, have already become established in this country. Is it not a fact that the peach industry of Georgia has been built up on a variety which has a Chinese hybrid origin? Do not the Kieffer, LeConte, and Garber pears owe their success to their Chinese ancestry ? Have not some Chinese trees like the Ginkgo biloba, the tree of heaven (Ailanthus cacodendron), the pride of India (Melia azedarach), and the camphor tree (Cinnamomum camphora) proved eminently successful in many parts of the United States? Are not our porches adorned by Wis- taria chinensis, our hybrid roses being hybridized with the Wichuriana rose, and our parks embellished with countless Chinese flowering shrubs, like tree peonies, abelias, golden bells, and mock oranges? The Department of Agriculture, having long been in pos- session of facts regarding the existence of important and promising plant industries in China, decided to have a thor- ough investigation made as to the possibility of successfully introducing these industries into this country. It was my good fortune to have been selected to do this work. I have made three successive trips into China and in all spent about 6 years in that immense country, covering mainly, however, northern and eastern China and the neighboring regions of northern Chosen (Korea), eastern as well as western and central Siberia and Mongolia, and Russian Turkestan. I did not visit southern China nor the upper Yangtse Valley regions. Six years may seem to be a long time, but in a country so vast as China and where the means of communi- cation are so primitive that on the average one can travel only 20 miles a day, after all one can not cover very much territory in that time.

The work of an agricultural explorer while in the field is strenuous in many ways. He must have a capable inter- preter for this work, on account of the difficulties of the lan- guage. Without one it would be impossible at times to obtain the plants he is after. The absence of a good interpreter may mean the failure of a whole expedition, as in many parts of China the Chinese refuse to deal with a person who does not understand their ways of doing things. In China there are 22 different languages and 400 dialects, and this causes endless trouble in traveling from one end of the country to the other. If a person follows the beaten path of travel from one big city to another, he will not ex- perience the difficulties which an explorer encounters, for the latter to obtain the things he is after has necessarily to go into the out-of-the-way rural communities; for instance, one never finds the best groves of fruit trees along the high- ways of travel. Tt is often only through a capable ad energetic inter- preter that one learns of the whereabouts of a valuable new plant variety. Having finished a day’s cart journey and having settled in a Chinese inn, one’s interpreter often be- gins to talk with fellow travelers and local residents about the business in which his master is engaged. The Chinese are very inquisitive. They find out every detail about one another’s masters and their particular business. Often these travelers can not conceal their amazement when they learn that a foreigner has come so far to get a product which seems to them so common and with which they are so well acquainted. It frequently happens that such fellow trav- elers unconsciously give information of great value, and it is here that the capabilities of an interpreter come in. If he allows the conversation to drift into mere trivialities and does not make any mental or written notes, often the whole result of a conversation which lasts for hours is lost to the explorer. The equipment of an agricultural explorer traveling in the interior of China is similar to the camping outfit used by any explorer going through a rough and unsettled country, although, of course, China in the main‘is densely settled. Nevertheless the accommodations at the inns are ex- tremely poor. The work of an agricultural explorer is so far Yearbook U. S. Dept. of Agriculture, 1915.

China a Fruitful Field for Plant Exploration. 209 different from that of an ordinary botanical collector that he has to gather live material which is often extremely perish- able, and has to be equipped with such paraphernalia as to enable him to send the live material on a long journey to his home country. It is necessary to carry a bale of sphagnum moss, rolls of oiled paper and packing paper, copper labels, notebooks, and herbarium driers in waterproof sacks, and supplies of twine and cloth from which seed bags can be made and in which the parcels of plant material can be sewed. In sending plant material from the interior of China one has to know how and when to ship it. Seeds like grains and beans are the easiest of all, for when dry they can be packed in cloth bags, labels inclosed, and sent at almost any time of the year. Seeds of a perishable nature, however, like acorns and chestnuts, are much more difficult to ship. These have to be packed in moistened, powdered, washed-out char- coal, or in finely chopped-up dampened sphagnum moss in- closed in oiled paper and put into wooden boxes, so as to prevent the young sprouts from being crushed en route, for often these seeds start to grow in transit. Such seeds have to be sent as quickly as possible after collecting, for many of them perish within a few weeks. Scions and cuttings are even more difficult to handle, for they can be collected only in the resting season, which often is in winter, and have to be put in damp sphagnum moss within a few hours after being cut. I always made it a practice to pack such scions and cuttings the day I collected them and never let them remain unpacked a single night. In severe winter weather we often had to heat water to prevent it from freezing, in order to moisten the sphagnum moss, and sometimes a few minutes after the cuttings were wrapped the parcel was frozen hard, for in the rooms of a North China inn there are no stoves, the paper windows are often broken and torn, and the temperature inside is but little higher than that outside. I kept these frozen packages sometimes for several weeks, until I reached a post office which was willing to receive and forward them either direct to Washington or to the consul general in Shanghai. _ 1 attribute the success which I have had in sending the parcels of living plant material from such far-away towns 17369°—yBxK 1915——14 210 Yearbook of the Department of Agriculture. as Kashgar, in Chinese Turkestan, and Lanchowfu, in Kansu, to Washington, D. C., to these special methods of packing which I have described. It must be admitted, how- ever, that if the parcel post system had not been extended to these inland towns, and if our ambassador in St. Petersburg, the American minister in Peking, and the American consul general in Shanghai had not forwarded these official parcels of plants in their diplomatic and consular pouches through the State Department to the Department of Agriculture, these successes would have been minimized. Owing to the fact that transportation in China is still quite as primitive as it was in America before the building of railroads, one has to travel there with a caravan com- posed of pack animals or Chinese springless carts. I found that when traveling with pack animals or with carts, ex- cept in the great heat of summer, it was better to walk, because I was then free to examine the roadside plants and trees without stopping the caravan. Often I found I could walk much faster than the caravan. When, however, I traveled through unsafe regions it was necessary to keep close to my men. In all the six years of travel in the interior of China, during which I walked several thousand miles, it has been my good fortune never to have had any accident of consequence, nor have I lost any large collections of material. The collections of these years of travel comprised about 2,500 introductions, including seeds, bulbs, cuttings, scions, roots, and live plants, most of which were personally selected and generally for some specific purpose, the details of which will be found in the descriptions which were written in the field and appear in the printed inventories of the Office of Foreign Seed and Plant Introduction. A large number of photographs were taken and extensive collections of herba- rium material were made. In a paper of this nature, limited necessarily as to space, one can only pick out a few of the more interesting plants and plant industries. As this work has been going on since the fall of 1905, some of these eastern introductions have become successfully established in the United States and are proving to be valuable additions to American agriculture. Others of later introduction have been here too short a time China a Fruitful Field for Plant Exploration. 211 to enable us to say whether they will be of value. They are strictly in the experimental stage. PROMISING NEW CROPS. One of the most promising tree crops of China is the Chinese jujube (Ziziphus sativa). The most common form of this plant is found in waste places and on old walls in sev- eral parts of North China. It is a very spiny shrub or small tree bearing small, round fruits of a brown-red color, which are in general sour and have practically no value. The Chinese farmers, however, have selected numerous varieties of this jujube which vary in all possible ways. There are probably 300 or 400 named varieties in China, and while the fruit of the wild type is no larger than a smal] marble, some of the selected varieties are as large as a good-sized hen’s egg. Some types are spherical and of very dark brown color, others being very elongated and light mahogany brown. Others again are very solid meated and can be kept for sev- eral weeks in a fresh state before spoiling. Some sorts again are of a very spongy texture and have to be eaten a few days after they have ripened, while others can not be dried, but must be eaten fresh, and still others can be easily dried and kept through the greater part of the year. A few varieties are smoked like hams or herrings and are exported from the Shantung Province to South China, where they form an especially prized sweetmeat with the people of that section. Others are put up in weak brandy and served during the New Year’s holidays. One of the largest varieties when processed in a special way with cane sugar and honey makes a delicious sweetmeat comparable to a good quality of the Persian date. The high-class mandarins give them as New Year’s presents, and they are served in the best hotels patronized by Euro- peans, on the passenger steamers plying between Japan and China, and at dinner parties in the various legations in Peking. The jujube tree in China is one of the few trees which are not so regularly cultivated as the peach or the pear. It stands much more neglect than any other of the Chinese fruits and grows on soil which sometimes is quite alkaline in character and seems to thrive in dooryards in which the soil is packed down until almost as hard as a brick. It 212 Yearbook of the Department of Agriculture. responds, however, to cultivation, and in the district around Pai Hsiang Chen, Shansi, where the largest varieties in all China occur, the orchards of jujube are well cultivated. In the Provinces where it is found in its greatest perfection, such as Shantung, Shansi, Honan, and Shensi, winter tem- peratures never drop very low. Zero weather there is a rare occurrence. In America, however, some of the trees which were introduced in 1906 have withstood a temperature of —22°F. withoutinjury. In general the jujube may be said to be a heavy bearer, and in Texas and California some varieties have proved unusually fruitful. They bear very early. some one-year-old grafts producing as many as 24 fruits. The jujube will probably prove of the greatest value for the semiarid South and Southwest, especially for Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, California, southern Utah, and pos- sibly it might extend into Kansas and Nebraska. The ma- terial so far has been too limited to enable us to distribute small trees of the jujube to the latter States. Trees have fruited heavily at Chico, Fresno, Indio, and Bard, Cal., and San Antonio, Austin, and Fort Worth, Tex. In the late thirties of the last century jujube seeds were distributed by the Patent Office, and from these seeds large- sized trees have grown and are still standing at various points in the Southern Atlantic States. All of these, being seedlings, bear small, comparatively worthless fruit. ORIENTAL PERSIMMONS SUITED FOR DRYING PURPOSES. In certain sections of the provinces of Shantung, Shansi, Honan, Shensi, and Kansu one finds that strains of persim- mons are being grown for drying purposes only. These re- gions are decidedly semiarid ones, where the autumn is long and the days are quite warm, similar in this respect to the climate of portions of Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and Cali- fornia. These strains are quite different—not as juicy as those which have been so far cultivated in this country. They are very astringent, so that one can not ordinarily eat them out of hand. Among these varieties for drying purposes there are seedless persimmons as weli as others. A dried persimmon in looks and taste resembles a dried fig, with the exception that it is devoid of small seeds and is coated with a heavy layer of fine grape sugar. China a Fruitful Field for Plant Exploration. 213 Dried persimmons of different varieties differ both in taste and in appearance. This difference is not due to the variety alone, but to the greater or less care employed in their prep- aration. The coarser sorts, upon the preparation of which little care has been bestowed, taste very much like cooked pumpkin, but those of finer quality are as fine as dried figs, being even juicier and more palatable because of the absence of objectionable small seeds. The cultivation of persimmons for drying purposes is a growing industry in China. New orchards are being set out, and since railways have been built new markets for the sale of them have been opened. Whereas in 1908 dried per- simmons on the Peking market were extremely scarce, I found to my surprise a few years later huge piles of them on sale there. Upon inquiry I found that these persimmons had come from Honan, into which Province a new railway line had recently been finished. In drying these persimmons the fruits, when ripe, but be- fore they have begun to soften, are peeled or slashed, and these peeled fruits are then hung on strings to dry in the sun and wind. After drying for several weeks they are put into piles and covered with kaoliang matting and allowed to cure, during which process the grape-sugar coating is formed. Since this persimmon industry is primarily one for semi- arid regions, the question of a stock which is drought re- sistant becomes a very important one. After having been a few weeks in China I noticed that the Chinese used a stock which was entirely different from the American persimmon and also was not merely a seedling stock. The bark was blackish in color and in old specimens deeply furrowed, whereas the bark of the ordinary oriental persimmon is of rather a smooth character and shows a tendency to peel off. Upon inquiry I found this stock was called hae tsad, meaning black jujube. This name threw me entirely off the track, for although I saw straightway that it was not a jujube, yet I did not quite know what it was. Then I made it a point to find out where this so-called black jujube grew wild. At last, in a valley north of Peking, near the Nankau Pass, I was shown wild trees of this stock. ‘I recognized it at once as a species of persimmon (Diospyros lotus) which 214 Yearbook of the Department of Agriculture. is also found in northern India, Persia, the Crimea, and the Caucasus. In the last-mentioned country it is known by the Turkish name of “ ghoorma.” This ghoorma when found in its native haunts seems to be able to withstand drought and neglect to a remarkable degree, and it is for that reason, no doubt, that the Chinese have selected it asa stock. It has already proved to be better adapted to our semiarid Southwest than our native persimmon (Diospyros virginiana), which has been the only one here- tofore used. These varieties for drying purposes budded upon the ghoorma as a stock will probably be very well adapted to large areas of land in the Southwest. Americans heretofore have never realized what an important food prod- uct the oriental persimmon is in its native country. Thou- sands of acres are devoted to its culture, hundreds of vari- eties exist there, and the trade in dried as well as fresh per- simmons compares in importance with our trade in peaches. BAMBOOS. Of all the plants cultivated in China the bamboo is cer- tainly one of the most indispensable. It exists in many species and varieties, ranging from tufts of a grasslike appearance only a foot or so high to jungles of giant canes often over 80 feet tall. Some are found on low, moist places, while others occur on steep, rocky slopes. Bamboos in China are grown in two ways, as clumps near the houses from which canes can be cut at a moment’s notice and used for everyday household purposes, such as bean poles, switches for decorative purposes, or for repairing baskets or furniture, etc., and in large groves, often some distance from the vil- lages, where they are grown for timber purposes only. In such groves the canes are cut only at certain times of the year, primarily in the winter months. In some sections of the country, in fact, the bamboo is so indispensable that if taken away the whole fabric of domestic affairs would crumble, and the people would be put to the most serious inconveniences. Bamboo timber in oriental countries in many ways takes the place that metals do with us, especially in the manufacture of household articles. No one can see the uses to which bamboo is put by a Chinese gardener China a Fruitful Field for Plant Exploration. 215 in his little garden patch without realizing what a convenient source of stakes for pea vines, stakes to hold labels, bean poles, temporary fences, guards against chickens, shade sup- ports, fruit-tree props, small garden ladders, stiff brooms for farmyards and barns, temporary lath houses, etc., it means to him. A fact relatively little known to the American public is that in China and Japan bamboo sprouts constitute a favorite vegetable. There are several species and varieties the shoots of which are edible, and they are not by any means of equal excellence. A good kind of bamboo sprout is a vegetable in a class by itself. Its crispness and freshness of flavor are such as to appeal to nearly everyone the first time it is eaten. It is not uncommon to find foreigners in the Orient who have become quite as fond of bamboo sprouts as the home people are of asparagus. The varieties which are cultivated for their shoots are gen- erally grown in gardens close to the houses and are heavily manured so as to insure a maximum of sprouts and tenderness of texture. Existing groves of one species in the Southern States and California thrive wonderfully well and from some of them sprouts have been cut which compare favorably with those produced in the Orient. It is believed that in this country the bamboo probably can be cultivated with as great success for table use as it is in the Orient, for not only do the Chinese colonies in our large cities form a ready market for these delicious sprouts and Chinese restaurants consume large quantities in the soups and other dishes served to their customers, but also many Americans have acquired in the Orient a fondness for this vegetable and would be ready to purchase the shoots if they were available. For impressiveness there is no group of plants which sur- passes the bamboo. To wander through an extensive grove in China or Japan makes one imagine himself in another world. One naturally marvels how a grass could grow into such giant forms as one sees around him. It makes upon the human brain possibly the same kind of impression that the ordinary grass might upon a tiny insect walking through it. After having seen the beautiful and useful clumps of bamboo in the Orient one’s mind reverts to our own South- 216 Yearbook of the Department of Agriculture. ern States, and the conviction gradually grows on one that in the years to come many of our southern homes will be embellished by these remarkable bamboo groves. Already a few of these are to be found—enough to show that this is not a fanciful suggestion. THE YANG MAE TREE, In the vicinity of Hangchow, Chekiang Province, there are extensive groves of a peculiar evergreen tree locally called yang mae, but foreigners in that section of China apply the name strawberry tree to it on account of a slight resemblance which its fruit bears to the strawberry. This is an entirely new type of fruit, locally much appreciated, and one which evidently has been in cultivation for a very long period. The tree grows wild in the mountains and bears there smail sour fruits. The natives, however, have developed several varie- ties which they perpetuate by inarching. One of the largest of these has fruits over an inch in diameter, possesses a fine, vinous subacid flavor, and in appearance is so attractive as to make it a very desirable table fruit. These fruits, which ripen in July, are wine-red in color and resemble shghtly in outline sycamore balls. They are eaten fresh or as preserves. The trees grow slowly but are long-lived, and from the scanty evidence at hand it seems likely they will thrive along the Gulf Coast and along the milder portions of the Pacific Coast. THE CHINESE LARGE-FRUITED HAWTHORN. In certain sections of the South, such as northern Texas, the apple appears to be out of its range. In China similar regions exist—places where the winds in summer are scorch- ingly dry and the rainfall often is quite deficient, such as the region around Taianfu, in the Shantung Province. It is here that one finds large and thrifty orchards of a haw (Cratae- gus pinnatifida) which bears fruits the size of a crab apple. These fruits are of a very attractive bright-red color, re- freshingly sour in taste, and can be kept for very long periods. They are eaten raw, coated with molten sugar, or better yet when made into delicious preserves or a stiff jelly China a Fruitful Field for Plant Exploration. 217 of fine quality. A few of the smaller fruited sour varieties can be boiled into sauce and supply a very agreeable substi- tute for the American cranberry. American missicnaries in the Shantung Province have learned to utilize the haw in this way. The trees are of low, dense growth, bear heavily, and the finer varieties are all grafted upon seedling stocks. The demand in China for the best quality of these haw fruits is so great that it can not be supplied and the orchards are being extended. The fact that the Chinese have developed from a small-fruited wild hawthorn large-fruited forms of excellent quality naturally reminds one of the many excellent wild species of haws which occur on the North American continent, and one is impressed with the fact that an excel- lent opportunity to improve a promising native fruit has been neglected. CHINESE EARLY CHERRY. In the early spring of 1907, while near Tangsi, Chekiang Province, the Rev. A. Kennedy, a missionary stationed there, told me of a cherry which was grown in the vicinity and which, though quite small, not up to the American standard in size, was quite early. I visited with Mr. Kennedy an orchard where these cherries were grown, and, although they were leafless at the time, I recognized that they represented a different kind of cherry from the sorts we have. Scions were obtained and sent to the Plant Introduction Garden in California. Several fruit growers were provided with young budded plants, and last October, while visiting the Sacramento Valley, I found such an interest had been created by the remarkable earliness of this cherry that the growers were thinking seriously of setting out orchards of this variety only. In my opinion, this cherry has another important use, viz, as a factor in the production by breed- ing of earlier, large-fruited varieties. THE ORIGINAL WILD PEACH. During all these years of travel one thing always remained uppermost in my mind, viz, to find whether the peach really occurred wild in China, which country is supposed to be its original home. 218 Yearbook of the Department of Agriculture. In the summer of 1914, while going on foot through a joess ravine in the southern part of the Shansi Province, a few days’ march east of Ping yang fu, I found a small, green peach the size of a marble lying on the side of the road. On biting into it I found that the stone was perfectly hard and well formed, and then on looking up I noticed several bushes clinging to the edge of a steep loess wall and having fruits on them of the kind I had found. Here at last was the original wild peach, from which probably most, if not all, of the cultivated strains have been developed. They were growing in such inaccessible, out-of-the-way places that there remained in my mind no doubt of their being genuinely wild. The Chinese, moreover, call them yeh tao, which means wild peach. In the Tsing-ling range from Sianfu through to western Kansu I found this wild peach at intervals, sometimes as solitary specimens, at other times in thickets. STOCKS USED BY THE CHINESE. . The problem of finding congenial stocks for our cultivated fruit trees for different parts of this country is still in an experimental state, for certain stocks which have proved to be very successful in western Europe when tried in America have proved failures in many instances. It is in a country like China, with her great extremes of climate, resembling in this respect the United States, that we may expect to find a partial solution of this stock problem. One of the first things which attracted my attention was that in the nursery gardens near Tientsin I found that the Chinese gardeners had grafted flowering plums upon a stock which resembled an almond, also chrysanthemums on the wormwood (Artemisia sp.), tea olives (Olea fragrans) on privet, and junipers upon the arbor vite (Thuja orientalis). These facts showed me at once that the Chinese in North China, at least, had tried to find congenial stocks which had root systems that were better suited to dry and alkaline soils than were the root systems of the plants themselves. One of the plants which most impressed me was the almondlike stock. On asking the Chinese gardeners what they called it they gave me the name of shan tao shu, which means literally mountain peach tree. This name suggested China a Fruitful Field for Plant Exploration. 219 the possibility of this stock being the original wild peach. Upon inquiry where this could be seen I was informed that it grew wild in the mountains, but that there were many specimens to be found in the gardens of Tientsin and Peking. Upon being shown a specimen I found it to be the Amygdalus davidiana, originally discovered by Father David. This turned out to be a new stock never before employed by any of the Caucasian races, although seemingly in China it has been used for centuries as a stock for various stone fruits. It has even been introduced into various European and Ameri- can botanical collections. After some difficulties seeds were procured of this davidiana peach, by which name it has come to be known in this country, and these have been tested in various places in the United States, as Chico, Cal., Ames, Iowa, and San Antonio, Tex., and, strange to say, they have proved hardy on the northern edge of the peach belt of Iowa and drought and alkali resistant in central Texas, Arizona, and California. It seems as though it would play an import- ant role in the development of the stone-fruit orchards of the country. The common stock for the pear on sandy and alkaline lands in North China is a species of wild pear (Pyrus betulae- folia), which bears bunches of fruits the size of large peas and is propagated mostly from cuttings. Trees grown in this country under uncongenial conditions have proved to be well suited to dry and alkaline situations. Unfortunately, however, it recently has been shown to be susceptible to the destructive pear blight, a disease apparently unknown in China. While these furnish examples of the stocks already used by the Chinese, numerous wild plants, especially among the stone fruits, show promise of being valuable as stocks, and experiments with these now are being carried on in the United States to determine their relative value. ORNAMENTAL TREES AND SHRUBS. So many ornamental trees and shrubs have been obtained from China, especially during recent years, that I mention here only a few of those which were introduced as a result of these explorations and are proving distinct additions to American horticulture. 220 Yearbook of the Department of Agriculture. The Chinese pistache tree (Pistacia chinensis) gives promise of being a fine shade tree for large areas in the South and Southwest. It grows to be a stately tree with a dense head ‘of gracefully pinnated foliage, which when it comes out in spring is a wine-red color, in midsummer dark glisten- ing green, while in fall it turns into the most gorgeous flaming reds and yellows, making the tree a very conspicuous object in the landscape. It resists drought wonderfully well and will be especially appreciated in the warmer semiarid parts of the United States. An elm (Ulmus pumila), native to Manchuria and North China, which in its native haunts resists drought and alkali to a considerable degree, proves to be of remarkable vigor and of great promise as a shade tree and windbreak in North Dakota and other regions in the Upper Mississippi Valley, where trees have a hard struggle with the climate. The Chinese white-barked pine (Pinus bungeana) is un- doubtedly one of the most striking in appearance of all the pines, with its glistening white trunk and its rather airy tufts of needles. It is decidedly a tree for semiarid regions, where it shows its characteristic white bark much earlier than it does in damp climates. When seen on burial grounds in North China its impressiveness is unsurpassed, and it might become in the future a favorite tree with Americans for use in cemeteries and formal parks and private grounds. Jntil 1914 this remarkable tree was supposed to occur -wild only in the Province of Hupeh, but I discovered it scattered and in groves in southern Shansi, central Shensi, and south- western Kansu. A striking variety of willow with a naturally well-rounded head occurs near Peking and in the Shantung Province. It withstands drought, alkali, and cold remarkably well, and a clump of them is already growing in California, where the trees have received a great deal of attention because of their trim and formal appearance, which makes them peculiarly attractive. Of the many shrubs useful for gardens and dooryards one of the most interesting is the yellow-flowered rose (Rosa xanthina), which oceurs in its semidouble form cultivated in gardens in Peking, while the single form occurs wild in China a Fruitful Field for Plant Exploration. 221 the mountains of Shansi and Shantung. The bush is remarkably hardy and drought resistant, and in spring it is covered with a multitude of medium-size pale-yellow flowers. As a factor in the creation of new types of yellow roses it will probably be of importance; in fact, Mr. G. W. Oliver, of this department, informs me that he has already produced a hybrid between it and the Rosa rugosa, of the type of the rugosa but with yellow fiowers. CHINESE VEGETABLES. While there are a great number of different vegetables in China, the great majority of them do not appeal to the palate of the Caucasian. There are some, however, which are worthy of the attention of American gardeners. The best of them is the pai ts’ai, or Chinese cabbage, which is grown primarily in northern China. The cabbages from Shantung especially are noted for their fine quality and are exported extensively along the coast of China even as far as Canton. These pai ts’ais do not emit as strong an odor when cooked as does the ordinary cabbage. They are delicate in flavor and are considered to be more easily digested. They can be used in a number of ways, resembling in this respect ordinary cabbage. It might be classed as a vegetable some- where between Swiss chard, Romaine lettuce, and the ordi- nary white cabbage. Its successful establishment in the United States appears to have been already accomplished, and on several of the large markets it is being sold under the name of celery cabbage. GINGER. Fresh ginger is an article of food in China which one can buy in practically all of the larger markets during the greater portion of the year. The rhizomes are sold by weight and are eaten shredded or sliced in soups and in various meat dishes, and they impart a delicious and appe- tizing flavor. Ginger is of great antiquity in China and was known quite well several centuries before the commencement of our era. 222 Yearbook of the Department of Agriculture. Kung-fu-tse, or Confucius, as his name is Latinized, China’s greatest philosopher, stated in one of his discourses to his students that every person ought to eat ginger at least once a day for his health’s sake. It is rather surprising that ginger is so little used in American cooking. Several of our dishes could be much im- proved by a judicious use of fresh shredded ginger, and in our Southern States the plants might be grown in kitchen gardens without much trouble. There are several varieties of ginger in China; the most productive sorts have to be grown in wet soil, and they need a long, hot summer in which to grow to perfection. It is mainly around Canton, in South China, that such sorts are grown extensively, and from that region tens of thousands of dollars’ worth of preserved ginger is exported every year to various parts of the globe. However, there are also varieties that can be grown in much cooler localities and relatively dry soil. On one of my trips in the Shantung Province I found a large field of such dry-land ginger near Ninyang at 36° latitude. In this latitude in the eastern United States we find such cities as Knoxville and Nash- ville, Tenn. In the truck sections along the Atlantic we may find conditions favorable to the cultivation of ginger commercially and make ourselves independent of foreign importations. Ginger, culturally, must be treated in much the same way as sugar cane, especially as regards storage during the winter; the rhizomes are injured by light frosts and can not stand drying out. It is not unreasonable to expect within a few years a keen interest in this interesting new root crop. THE KAUBA, A NEW CHINESE WATER VEGETABLE. One of the most interesting phases of Chinese agriculture is the way swamp lands are being made to yield crops. The Chinese as a race do not object to laboring in mud and in water as the Caucasian peoples do; hence, rather than drain their marsh lands, they have selected crops for them that bring in good returns. China a Fruitful Field for Plant Exploration. 223 Among swamp-land crops, rice of course stands out pri- marily, and in addition to it there are various root crops such as the lotus (Nelumbiwm speciosum), the water nut (£eo- charis tuberosa), wet-land taro (Colocasia antiquorum), and arrow-leaf. (Sagittaria sinensis). A crop which is grown as a vegetable in many parts of China is the kauba (Zizania latifolia), a water grass very closely related to our own wild rice. It is not the seeds, however, nor the leaves, but the swollen fleshy stalks that are used. These are eaten, shredded or sliced, boiled in soups, or, when scalded, as a special salad. This kauba is planted in rows and cultivated regularly and must grow in at least a few inches of standing water. An immense trade in its succulent shoots is carried on every season. Foreigners often call it water bamboo, and some western residents in China have become so fond of it that they have it on their tables whenever procurable. Some pre- liminary experiments made in this country show that this new water vegetable may possibly become some day a source of income to such truck farmers as are willing to engage in its rather disagreeable culture. CHESTNUT-BARK DISEASE. One of the duties of an explorer is to keep a careful look- out for plant diseases, insect as well as fungous, and during the six years of travel in China several of interest were discovered, the most important one of which was the chest- nut-bark disease. It was found, for instance, that the chest- nut blight (Zndothia parasitica) exists on the chestnut of North and central China (Castanea mollissima), while in Japan it was found in abundance on the native species (Castanea crenata). In both countries many of the trees attacked show themselves remarkably resistant and great . hopes are entertained that by careful selection and hybridi- zation work chestnut strains can be created which will prove to be either wholly immune to this destructive bark disease or at least so resistant as not to be damaged very severely. The hybrids which Dr. W. Van Fleet has already produced in this country indicate that this is a promising field for the plant breeder. 224 Yearbook of the Department of Agriculture. In conclusion, I may be permitted to state that one of the most gratifying sensations of an explorer is that of coming | back to this country and finding that certain of his new introductions are growing successfully and are appreciated by his fellow citizens, and that, moreover, some. quite new industries are in process of evolution, based upon material which one has himself sent in from some foreign land. HOW THE WHOLE COUNTY DEMONSTRATED. By Braprorp Knapp, Chief, and JEssE M. Jones, Agriculturist and Field Agent, Office of Extension Work in the South, States Rela- tions Service. GRICULTURAL evolution has not been slow in Chris- tian County, Ky. Four years ago a business men’s association was formed and immediately became interested in agriculture; a county demonstration agent was appointed in July, 1912, since which time 18 community clubs with 700 members have been formed; a good-roads association is re- sponsible for the farmers’ ownérship of 250 split-log drags with which they keep in condition upward of 400 miles of road; the agent has demonstrated methods which have led to increased crop yields, introduced new crops, readjusted farm practice, established demonstration farms, induced the feeding of more beef cattle, augmented dairying, organized the county and fought hog cholera effectively, obtained wider markets for farm products and brought city and farm business men into closer relations. Christian County has grown from the standpoint of busi- ness, but it also enjoys more social activities. It is located in the southwestern part of the State, in what is familiarly known as the “ Pennyroyal” section. Its population, ac- cording to the census of 1910, was 38,485, an increase of less than a thousand in the 10-year period. The last census also shows that there are 3,900 farms in the county, 56.9 per cent of-which are operated by owners and 42 per cent by tenants. The average size of farms is 107.1 acres, of which 77.5 acres is improved land. Ninety per cent of the land of the county is in farms and 72.3 per cent of this farm land is improved. Hopkinsville, the county seat and chief town, had a popula- tion, according to the same census, of 9,416. Pembroke, 731, and Crofton, 402, are the towns of next importance in the county. The chief industry is agriculture, there being rela- tively few manufacturing enterprises. 17369°—yeEK 1915 15 295 a 226 Yearbook of the Department of Agriculture.

About four years ago the Hopkinsville Business Men’s Association was How the Whole County Demonstrated. 227 formed and adopted for its main work the development of the resources of the county. This association was deeply interested in the agriculture of the county. Similar organi- zations prior, to that time had been chiefly interested in try- ing to locate factories and other industries. Repeated at- tempts to arouse the agricultural interests were made through speaking campaigns, but the farmers took relatively little interest in efforts of this sort. The first effort of the present association was again to organize lecture courses throughout the county to instruct the farmers. Although prominent speakers were chosen, these courses were failures because the farmers did not at- tend. In 1912 the organization became interested in secur- ing an agricultural agent to work in the county. A so-called “ crop improvement association,” composed of a few farmers and some business men, was formed under the auspices of the Business Men’s Association and as an adjunct of it. They secured some financial aid from outside the county and were able to interest the fiscal court to appropriate some funds. With these and the cooperation of the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture an agent was appointed July 1,1912. At that time the farm-demonstration work of Kentucky was under the supervision of the Office of Farm Management in the United States Department of Agriculture. On July 1, 1913, it was transferred to the Office of Farmers’ Coopera- tive Demonstration Work, which had charge of the work in the Southern States, and is now known as the Office of Ex- - tension Work in the South. Cooperative arrangements were perfected, effective July 1, 1914, under the Smith-Lever Act, by which the county agent became the representative of the College of Agriculture of the State University of Kentucky, and also of the United States Department of Agriculture, States Relations Service, Office of Extension Work in the South. From that date until the present time a county agent . has been continuously employed in the county. One of the several difficult problems confronting the county agent was social and economic more than agricultural. It would be impossible in this article to trace the causes of this condition or to explain the reasons for its existence. Suffice it to say there was a lack of cordial feeling between the farmers and the business interests of the towns in that 228 Yearbook of the Department of Agriculture. county. At certain periods of time this feeling had been somewhat intense. The statement is made simply to show the situation facing the county agent. Members of the associa- tion and business men in the cities and towns simply placed themselves behind the agent, introduced him to the people so far as they could, and advised him as to what they deemed to be the real problem. The attitude of some of the farmers may be understood from a statement of one farmer who said that the whole movement was “ absolute foolishness.” The county agent set out to become personally acquainted with the people and their problems by communities. He usu- ally visited in a neighborhood, called a few of the principal farmers together, stopped with them over night, and endeav- ered in every possible way to understand their views and their problems. Usually these few men who attended the meetings and conferred with him were induced to become demonstrators and to undertake to do some specific work in crop production upon their own farms under improved methods. By increasing the interest the agent gradually worked each community into the idea of having some com- munity organization. He was greatly assisted in this by the fact that one community had a very good organization, the Church Hill Grange, formed in 1873. This grange had done excellent work in the years gone by, especially in conducting stock sales. Membership in these little community organizations, started by the county agent, included the entire family, the women being invited to attend as well as the men. As each club was started with relatively few families, each member was required to bring a neighbor, and thus the membership expanded so that each club showed a steady growth. There were practically no by-laws and no elaborate forms. No membership fees were required, and when any expense was incurred a free-will offering was taken to cover the amount. Constant effort was made to inculcate the idea that these elubs were of importance, and that they were entirely con- trolled by the members in the interest of the farmers. Be- sides the regular meetings held, these clubs were used to promote all kinds of educational work. The county agent visited neighborhoods regularly, looked over the farms dur- ing the daytime, and often called the farmers together at How the Whole County Demonstrated. 229 demonstration fields being conducted by farmers under his supervision. In the evening he attended and assisted in the meeting of the local community club. At times the women took charge of a meeting, the entire program being devoted to their problems. The business men were interested in these clubs and the community idea of organization, and often came out to assist in the meetings. One prominent citizen who is a member of these clubs said: “I have not missed a meeting since the club was organized. Before its organization the neighbors hardly knew each other.” An- other said: “ Since these associations were formed there has been wonderful improvement in farming conditions. Farmers are all studying and reading and realize at last that farming is an extremely intellectual calling.” The total number of organized clubs is 18, with a total membership of more than 700. The county agent traveled about the county with a horse and buggy. He often took the best men in the county with him in his work. As it was necessary to cover the entire county, it soon became apparent that one of the chief needs of the county was better roads. Hence, a “ good-roads association” was formed for this purpose. Meetings were held, ending in a barbecue given by the business men of Hopkinsville to the farmers of the county. There was a large attendance of country people and a great forward step made in bringing about a better feeling between them and the town people. Now there are 250 split-log drags in operation in the county, the larger part of which were bought by the fiscal court and donated to the farmers. These, as a rule, are operated with- out cost to the county, largely through the instrumentality of these community clubs. Practically 400 miles of road are now regularly dragged by the farmers free of charge. The merchants at Hopkinsville have offered prizes to the farmers for the section of best dragged road in the county. There are 350 miles of macadamized roads, in the construction of a large part of which the farmers cooperated. The president of the Business Men’s Association says “The farmers cooperated, giving one-third to one-half or possibly more, for the con- struction of pikes.” A “good roads day” was held in re- sponse to a proclamation by the governor, and in Christian 230 Yearbook of the Department of Agriculture. County it met with hearty response. Business men turned out with the farmers, stores of the city were closed, and on one of the principal roads at least 90 per cent of the workmen were city men. Stone was contributed by contractors, con- crete firms furnished men gratis to repair bridges, one com- pany supplied outfits for trimming trees, and a large amount of work was done by the county and the town working side by side. Forty carloads of crushed rock were moved from one spot during the one day, which shows the great number of workmen and teams at work. Such results could only be ac- complished through unity of purpose and cooperation of all the people. The principal crops of the county are corn, tobacco, and wheat. The census shows that from 1900 to 1910 there was a slight increase in average yield per acre of corn, amount- ing to four-tenths of a bushel. The county did not produce enough to supply its own needs, and the method of cultiva- tion was generally with the turning plow and deep enough to injure the roots and prevent full production. Among the first efforts of the county agent, therefore, were demonstra- tions in better methods of corn production conducted in every community in the county. The first of these was in the year 1913. The average of the county before this was a trifle over 24 bushels per acre. These demonstrations aver- aged 38.8 bushels per acre. The next year they averaged 40 bushels per acre. At the present time 80 per cent of the corn in the county is cultivated by modern, improved meth- ods, and with modern implements (Pl. XX XVII, fig. 1). One section of the county, which has been importing 40 car- loads of corn annually, this year supplied its own needs and exported 8 carloads. Many farmers thought that because a pase: part of the county was of limestone formation no addition of lime to their soils was necessary. Upon examination of the soil and a study of crops its use was urged. The county agent arranged a lime-crushing demonstration, and as a result 10 limestone crushers have been purchased, either individually, in partnership, or by communities. In addition consider- able lime has been shipped in from outside the county. Three hundred tons were used in 1913. In 1914 this in- How the Whole County Demonstrated. 231 creased to 5,315 tons; in 1915 to 10,555 tons. The effect of the application of ground limestone rock and agricultural lime to the crops was demonstrated. Special mention should be made of its application to red clover, which before this time had been a practical failure on many farms, and only a partial success on others. Many demonstrations were conducted to show the effect of apply- ing lime to this crop. The instructions of the agents were also followed as to time and method of sowing, use of addi- tional fertilizer, etc. Now practically all farms in the county are able to grow the crop successfully, because of the lessons learned. Many people in the county think that the best work done by the agent in crop demonstrations was the introduction of crimson clover, for the improvement of the land and as a cover crop. In 1912 no crimson clover was sown. The next year 350 acres were sown in demonstrations on various farms. In 1914 the acreage increased to 5,580, and in 1915 to 7,800, whole neighborhoods having sown it generally. As not enough corn was raised to supply the demand, the growth of barley was recommended for a number of reasons, especially because in this county it yields almost twice as much as wheat, furnishes more grazing, makes possible a second crop of corn, beans, peas, etc., and gives a better dis- tribution of labor. The census of 1910 showed 10 acres of barley in the county. In 1912 there were 20 acres. In 19138, the first real year of demonstration, there were 250 acres. In 1914 this had increased to 3,600 acres, and in 1915 to 7,000.. Farmers, business men, and the milling companies of the county heartily approve of the growing of this crop. Fertilizer and variety tests of wheat were made by the farmer under the direction of the county agent. The re- sults of these tests have been put into application on many farms, and where used to-day the average yield is practically doubled. Some attention has been paid to tobacco, the chief cash crop of the county. The average yield of demonstrations more than doubled the average production of the county. The object has been to increase the profit in the production of tobacco by readjusting the entire farm practice so as to 232 Yearbook of the Department of Agriculture. equalize the labor load, produce home supplies, maintain soil fertility, and have a number of other cash products for sale. Alfalfa has also been introduced and is now being success- fully grown on 22 farms as demonstrations. There are 360 acres in the county. Its growth is not extending more rapidly for several important reasons, the chief one being because the cuttings come at such times as to interfere with the busy seasons on the farm. It is therefore not a popular crop in the county, and its place is mainly taken by red and crimson clover. Other crop demonstrations have been with sweet clover, turf oats, soy beans, rape, pastures, orchards, truck and whole farms as demonstrations. In nine communities of the county entire farms are used as object lessons, the farmer pursuing the instructions of the county agent on the entire farm. The introduction of more and better live stock has not been neglected. A creamery was started April 1,1914. The number of patrons at the start was 7 and the number of cows 40. By the end of the year there were 59 patrons with 600 cows, 73 cream separators had been sold, and 350 head of dairy cows were being fed under the instructions of the county agent. In 1915 there were 95 patrons. To arouse a greater interest in beef cattle the county agent, early in the work, piloted a representative body of farmers to a near-by county to study feeding methods. This trip, together with personal efforts, resulted in an increased num- ber of pure-bred cows, from 10 in 1912 to 100 in 1915, and in the number of cattle fed from 250 in 1912 to 1,800 in 1915. Eight regular demonstrations in the feeding of cattle for market were conducted. Interest was aroused in the erection of silos. In 1910-11, or before demonstration work started, there were 12 silos; the report of the Commissioner of Agriculture in 1912-13 shows 36 silos in the county, 30 of which were wood and 6 concrete. The annual report of the county agent for the year 1914 shows total number of silos in the county 66; the present number is 101.

How the Whole County Demonstrated. 233 kinsville business men assisted in this work. Prizes were arranged for at the fair. The first show was held in 1914 with 840 entries. In 1915 there were 1,490. Poultry buyers estimate that turkey production has increased 100 per cent and chickens 40 per cent. Perhaps no piece of cooperative effort ahh the influence and effectiveness of the community organization of the county better than the work done in the eradication of hog cholera. The subject of hog cholera was discussed with the community clubs during the early stages of the county agent’s work. A careful survey made in 1912 showed the losses that year to be $225,000. The county agent not only demonstrated the use of the serum treatment himself, but arrangements were made with 11 doctors to inoculate hogs free of charge (PI. XXXVII, fig.2). Anumber of farmers also gave their sery- ices. Arrangements were made with the State serum plant at the experiment station at Lexington to supply the serum in sufficient quantities, and proper storage was provided at Hopkinsville. Farmers were instructed to report all cases of sick hogs to the president of the farmers’ club. The presi- dent of the local club then made the arrangement by tele- phone for prompt inoculation and cleaning-up of the prem- ises. This method of procedure has brought the disease under absolute control in three years. In 1913 the losses were re- duced to $150,000. In 1914 the losses were practically $1,000. There are now more hogs in the county than ever before in its history, and the disease seems to be under complete control (Pl. XX XVIII, fig.2). Effective organization and coopera- ’ tion of all the people are mainly responsible for these results. Another item that shows organization work and the com- plete cooperation of all the people of the county is the de- velopment of a better market for hay, oats, corn, and barley by the erection of a feed-mixing plant in 1914. The mill interests of the county now consume a larger amount of the wheat produced inthecountry. One ofthe mill men recently said: “ Five years ago 50 per cent of the wheat was shipped out of the county as grain; in 1914 this was reduced to 15 per eent, and in 1915 not over 5 per cent. The remainder was sold in the county for milling purposes.” 234 Yearbook of the Department of Agriculture. Other items of organization work have been as follows: A fair association has been formed; medical instruction has been introduced into the schools of the county; a publie library and hospital have been built; the school system of the county has cooperated in all educational work; both town and country merchants have offered prizes to members of the boys’ clubs; also for cooking in the schools, and have put women’s rest rooms in the stores for the use of the pub- lic. This step was appreciated and the rooms are quite heavily patronized. : A woman agent in charge of the girls’ canning clubs in home demonstration work was appointed in the spring of 1914. There is now an active girls’ canning club in every community in the county, attended by the girls and also by their mothers. The surplus fruits and vegetables of the farm are now being canned and preserved for winter use. To-day there are 12 social clubs which meet regularly in the country, 15 parent-teachers’ and mothers’ clubs, and there is not a school in the county which does not have some form of community meeting. The schoolhouses are gener- ally used for the meetings of the community clubs. In some instances farmers have given sufficient ground for amusement purposes at the schoolhouses. Here may be found the ball diamond, tennis courts, and basket-ball courts. Both country and town people are beginning to be- lieve that country children have as much right to a good time as those of the town. Another instance of organization work is the cooperative purchase of commercial fertilizer. Through no fault of the © merchants, but due to a system in existence all over the State, farmers were buying their fertilizers partly on credit and partly for cash, but almost invariably at retail rates. The farmers’ clubs became interested in cooperative purchase of supplies. By community action federated into a county- wide movement, more than 3,000 tons of fertilizer were pur- chased in one year, resulting in a saving of approximately $3 per ton. In this work they have been assisted materially by local merchants who have acted as distributors and prac- tically as underwriters of the whole proposition. At pres- ent, instead of buying indiscriminately by neme or brand, How the Whole County Demonstrated. 235 farmers have learned to buy the plant food shown to be needed by their soils and crops. This is generally done under the instructions of the county agents. The merchants have been brought to see the necessity of making the farmers prosperous. One of them said that, while he did not make as much on the sale of fertilizer as formerly, he dealt for cash, which saved the farmer money, and enabled him to reap his reward in an increased sale of farm implements in which he is also engaged. Because of three bad crop years the bank deposits of the county do not show a material increase. However, their sur- plus and profits have increased an average of 30 per cent, and dividends have been raised from 5 and 6 per cent to 8 per cent, or maintained at the latter figure. The office of the county agent is with the Business Men’s Association in Hopkinsville. There the farmers are brought into touch with business men. ‘The agent is able to assist by keeping them advised as to conditions and the needs of the farmer, and in this way they are able to anticipate the needs of their customers and handle stocks of goods accordingly. During the early summer of 1915 the extension division of the State, representing the college and the United States Department of Agriculture, arranged for a visit of several hundred farmers from counties of central and eastern Ken- tucky, escorted by their respective county agents, to Chris- tian County to inspect the work of the past three years. The farmers and business men of the county joined heartily in this movement. At once they proceeded to “ put their house in order” for a visit. The itinerary of the party through the country districts was planned. The farmers thoroughly dragged every foot of the 100 miles of road to be traveled by the party. Not only was this done, but the yards were cleaned up and placed in good order; the sides of the road were mowed; the weeds were cut under the fences and back to the growing crops, and arrangements — made to have farm live stock at convenient points for the inspection of the visitors. One hundred automobiles were furnished and driven by the business men of the county (Pl. XX XVITI, fig. 1). Even repair cars were provided in cases of breakdown. Farm gates were left wide open and part of the route lay through the farmsthemselves. Refresh- 236 Yearbook of the Department of Agriculture. ments were served to the visitors at various points and free banquets and entertainments furnished by the people of the city as well as by some of the farmers. Stops were made at certain of the farms where the county agents, other exten- sion workers, and farmers explained the improvements made and the system of work pursued in the county. Three pub- lic meetings were held during the day. The visitors fully appreciated and understood the great agricultural improvement in the county. A distinct impres- sion was made by the public spirit, the aroused county con- sciousness of the people of Christian County. Country people and town people vied with one another in extending hospital- ity, and in manifesting their constant pride in their homes, their farms, their business, their peaceful surroundings, and in the things accomplished in the county during the three years. A bank president said: “ Every man can see improve- ment in conditions and a better feeling between town and country. This is attributable to the demonstration work ear- ried on by the United States Department of Agriculture and the agricultural college. Banks no longer own farmers; the farmers own the banks.” 42 ee = Colonies of bees,. number . « «..:2.-.-.-< aie ne nie eee 2 ww ee 335 A Graphic Summary of American Agriculture. ‘S18 0 aoe oor 008 0) SL oF $t ; , OL * ysuoy Olay GON — |.

AGRICULTURAL COLLEGES IN THE UNITED STATES.! College instruction in agriculture is given in the colleges and universities receiving the benefits of the acts of Congress of July 2, 1862, August 30, 1890, and March 4, 1907, which are now in operation in all the States and Territories except Alaska. The total number of these institutions is 69, of which 66 maintain courses of instruc- tion in agriculture. In 23 States the agricultural colleges are departments of the States universities. In 16 States and Territories separate institutions having courses in agriculture are maintained for the colored race. All of the agricultural colleges for white persons and several of those for negroes offer four-year courses in agriculture and its related sciences leading to bachelors’ degrees, and many provide for graduate study. About 60 of these institutions also provide special, short, or correspondence courses in the different branches of agriculture, including agronomy, horticulture, animal husbandry, poultry raising, cheese making, dairying, sugar making, rural engineering, farm mechanics, and other technical subjects. Officers of the agri- cultural colleges engage quite largely in conducting farmers’ institutes and various other forms of college extension. The agricultural experiment stations, with very few exceptions, are departments of the agricultural colleges. The total number of persons engaged in the work of education and research in the land-grant colleges and the experiment stations in 1915 was 7,930, the number of students (white) in interior courses in the colleges of agriculture and mechanic arts, 64,578; the total number of students in the whole institutions, 114,820; ? the number of students (white) in the four-year college courses in agriculture, 17,153; the total number of students in the institutions for negroes, 10,170, of whom 2,368 were enrolled in agricultural courses. With a few exceptions, each of these colleges offers free tuition to residents of the State in which it islocated. In the excepted cases scholarships are open to promising and energetic students, and in all opportunities are found for some to earn part of their expenses by their own labor. The expenses are from $125 to $300 for the school year. Agricultural colleges in the United States. State or Territory,! Name of institution. | Location. President.

[The item maicena or maizena is included as ‘‘Corn and corn meal.’’] GENERAL NotE.—Substantially the international trade of the world. It should not be expected that the world export and import totals for any year will agree. Among sources of disagreement are these: (1) Different periods of time covered in the “‘year”’ of the various counjries; (2) Imports received in year subsequent to year of export; (3) want of uniformity in classification of goods among countries; (4) differ- ent practices and varying degrees of failure in, recording countries of origin and ultimate destination; (5) different practices of recording reexported goods; (6) opposite methods of treating free ports; (7) clerical errors, which, it may be assumed, are not infrequent. Tho exports given are domestic exports, and the ae given are imports for consumption as far as it is feasible and consistent so to express the facts. While there are some inevitable omissions, on the other hand there are some duplications because of reshipments that do not appear as such in official reports. For the United Kingdom, import figures refer to imports for consumption, when available, otherwise total imports, less exports, of “foreign and colonial merchandise.’’ Figures for the United States include Alaska, Porto Rico, and Hawaii.
