The United States Imports yearly nearly
$!00,000 Worth of macaroni. Macaroni
wheats have been Introduced In the last two
years very successfully Into tho Dakota,
also Into Kansas and Nebraska.
In regard to tho congressional scrd dis
tribution, tbo secretary states that ho his
ndcavored to meet the wishes of congress
In every way possible and to secure seeds
of ns high a character an can bo obtained
under tho conditions under which the work
Is done. It has been arranged to sond out
cotton seed, tobacco seed, sorghum seed nnd
sugar beet seed, nnd grasses and forago
plants, under, tho direct auspices of tho
department, and not through the contractor.
Referring to the reclamation of nlkall
lands, to which attention has frequently
been called In the reports of the soil survey,
the secrotary says that he Is moro and
more convlncod that to carry the lesson
homo to tho Individual It will bo necessary
for th6' department Itself to undertake a
practical demonstration of tho efllclency of
drainage. Thn necessity of a special study
of climatology In connection with the soil
work Is pointed out. "Tho time has come,"
says the secrotary, "when the work should
be taken up on a scale commensurate with
tho extension of at leaBt two or thrco crop
Interests. It Is certain that the Immediate
benefit to the farmers will amply repay ex
penditure." In tho bureau of chemistry Investigations
Into the composition, nutritive valuo and
adultorntlon of food products have been
continued. This work during the year wns
devoted particularly to tho study of pro
nerved meats, the composition and nutritive
value of the preserve'd article being com
pared with tho original, and the preserva
tives, If any wore employed, determined.
Food products Imported Into this country
and suspected of adulteration or of contain
ing Injurious constituents, have also been
examined. The secretary Is authorized to
Inspect; through the bureau of chomlatry,
American food products Intended for ex
port. Unfortunately, congu-ss has not pro
vided appropriations adequate to tho proper
execution of this law, The secretary adds
that It Is Important that our food products
going abroad bo pure and wholesome, "and
that wc should protect, our exporters against
discrimination In forulgn countries.
Tn sugar laboratory of tho bureau
continues to study all tho chemical prob
lems relating to th6 production of sugar
producing ptautH and the manufacture of
sugar. Tho chlaf part of this work Is de
voted to-the study ot sugar beets.

Another of. tho new) btgunlzed bureaus Is
that ot forestry. During the year the work
ing plan for the DIack Hills forest reserve
wau completed, and working plans wero un
dertaken for the I'rescott and Dig Horn
and tho I'rlest Illver reserves.
The secretary' reports aa the result of a
hroad Inquiry made through the ofllce ot
experiment stations that by far tho largest
part of the work ot tho stations has direct
relation to the Important agricultural In
terests of tbo communities In which they
arc located. The work of tho stations Is be
coming better understood by tbo farmers,
and "a broader, deeper foundation ot scien
tific Inquiry Is being laid each year.
An Increase in college extension work In
agncuituro is noted and stress is laid on
tho movement for the establishment of sec
oodary schools of agriculture and tho In
troduction of the elements ot agriculture
Into the rural schools, ns hopeful signs
of progress In agricultural education. The
saoretary suggests that bis department,
already giving aid to rural schools In vari
ous ways, should take a still moro active
part In encouraging this work. Ho rec
ommends encouragement by distributing
seeds and plants to establish school gar
dens, by furnishing schools with collections

ot the department as may bo useful to them.
Ho reviews very fully the great develop
ment In the work ot farmers' Institutes.
In 1899 over 2.000 farmers' Institutes wero
held In this country, attended by over 500,
000 farmers. Theso wero held In forty
thrco states and territories. Tho secretary
thinks that thcro Is room for much UBcfut
work by his department In aid of this and
other movements for tho education ot our
farmers In tho improvement of our agri
culture. Ho has therefore asked for n spe
cial appropriation of $5,000 to enable til?
ofllce of experiment stations to enlarge Its
work with a view to giving dcflnlto aid and
encouragement to farmers' Institutes n
tho different states.
Irrigation Matters.
The secretary devotes a great deal of
spaco to a discussion of Irrigation Invcstl
gatlons. These have beon conducted through
the offleo of experiment stations and cm-
brace studios of Irrigation laws and tho
social nnd Industrial Institutions ot Irrl
gated agriculture. Investigations of tho
methods by which water Is conserved, dis
tributed and used.
In reference (o the first subject the sec
rctary states that the character of the titles
to water finally rocognlzcd will do more
than nil other Influences combined to dc
termlne whothor tho western farmers
ought to be tenants or proprietors. Natur
ally this makes the disposal of tho water
resources of the west n matter of vital 1m
portance not. only to the persons directly
Interested, but to the country at large
Every consideration which Justified' the gen
eral government In the control, tho survey
and disposal ot public luuds applies equally
to the orderly and Just establishment of
titles to water by public authority, cither
state or national. Ho points out tho con
fusion and trouble nnd almost endless iltl
gallon frequently nttendlng the settlement
of this question and declares It tb be ah
solute) necessary that some simple and
final method of determining and protecting
rights 1o streams should be provided. In
tho meantime tho conditions as they exist
lu arid states aro being carefully studied
by tho department.,
Ho rovlowa .the Influence .of land laws on
irrigation development, stating that lawn
which control tho disposal of riOO.000,000
acres of arid -publlo laud must have :
vital Influence upon the success ot Irrl
gated agriculture. Ho condemns -the des
ert land act, stating tbnt 640 acres la moro
land than a man ot moderate' means can
cultivate under Irrigation. Cutting down
tho entries from 640 to 320 acres Is an Im
provement, but he bolleves In the entire re
peal of the desert land act and In requlr
lng settlers or homesteaders to cultivate as
well as live on their land.
K raxing I.nmt.
Iteferrlug to the grating lands, he says
probably 400,000,000 acres ot the public do
main has no agricultural value except tor
pasturage. It Is at present an open com
men, with no laws for Its protection or dls
point. He refers to the frequent conflicts
of tho farmers under Irrigation with the
rango stockmen and recommends, aa a re
medial and beneficial measure, the leasing
of the grazing land In such a way as not
to Interfere with the homesteader. The
rentals, he believes would amount In the
aggregate to a largo sum, which could be
appropriately applied to the reclamation
ot the Irrigable lands. Ho points out that
such leasing le not an experiment, as It
bsH been successfully tried, although In
limited way, In Colorado, Idaho, Montana
Nebraska, Utah and Wyoming. He winds
up tho discussion of this subject by pre
sentlug the following conclusions;
rirm -iimv privmu emerpnno win nave
to bo supplemented by public aid In tb
construction of certain classes of trrlgatloi
work If wo are to secure the largest do
velonment ot western agriculture.
Second That reservoirs located lu th
channels of running streams should be pub
lie works.
Third That the first step toward national
aid for Irrigation should bo the passage ot
enlightened cades of water laws by the
states to be benefited.
Fourth That the land laws should be
modified by repealing the desert act and
by requiring cultivation as well as rest
dence on a homestead
Fifth That tho non-lrrlgablo grazln
lands should he leased In' small tracts so
as tn unite tho Irrigable and the pasture
lands.

Tha highest record, previously attained
In the export ot agricultural products i
1838 was surpassed by over $90,000,000 In
the fiscal year of 1901, when ft valuo of
over $950,000,000 was rcaohed. Of he mer
chandlse sent ahroad during the year 65 per
cent originated on the farm. Of forelg
customers for our agricultural products the
United Kingdom stands flrst, taking ove
60 per cent. The next most Important mar
kets are afforded by Qormany, Franco, the
Netherlands and Belgium, n the, order
named, The section of foreign markets has
begun the preparation of a most comprehen
slvo report on tho character of our ngrl
cultural Importations received by the United
Kingdom from countries other than the
United States. The Importance ot this re
port Is evidenced by the fact that, largo as
wero our exports to tho United Kingdom
thoy comprised only one-third of tho for
elgn farm produce .purchased by that coun
try. Special statistics have been compiled
by tho section of foreign markets relative to
our trade In farm products with our now
Insular possessions. Our agricultural nx
ports to Cuba. Porto Wco and the Phllln
pines during the year comprised about 03
! per cent of (be domestic merchandise! sent
to the to Ulandj, Our Imports of ogrltml
Jural 'products from these Islands exceeded
our exports by Just $30,000,000.
In response to constant complaints the
biological survey has prepared nod distrib
uted a circular of direction for the destruc
tion of prnlrlo dogs, nnd Is now conducting
experiments In lie Uakotas1, Nebraska,

log remedial measures agajnst this pest,
cheap enough for general use.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 25. The trial of
Mrs. Lola Ida Ilonlne'tor the murder of
amcs Seymour Ayrcs, Jr., at the Kcnmore
hotel last May began In real earnest today.
The preliminary, details as to tho finding
of t h a body, tho location of furniture, blood
stains, etc., wero all In with tho conclusion
f tho testimony of J. F. Drew, tho capltol
policeman who wns on the stand when the
court adjourned last Friday. Uaker, the
man who saw Mrs.. Iionluo descend tho nro
cscapo; Hopkins, who roomed over Ayres
nd rnltcd tho first outcry; Miss Wooluma,
who roomed under .Ayres, and Miss Lawless
nd Mils Mlnas, who roomed on the other
Ide ot him, testified today. The two lattar
wore regarded as afar witnesses, but they
estlfled to no facts not developed at the In
quest.
Draw testified that thcro was room
nough behind the .door ot Ayros' room for
a mnn to have been there while tho door
was oponed to admit other persons; also
that thero wore empty eartrldgcs In the
lop Jnr In Ayres' room before the pistol
was emptied by Officer IJrady after tin
tragedy.. This would tend to establish the
theory ot the defense that the plttol be
longed to Ayres.," Miss Mlnas testified that
Ayros and Mrs, Honlne ate Ice cream aud
rake In her room the night beforo the trag
edy and that nt that tlmo there was no evi
dence ot 111-fccllng between them. Jtro.
Honlne throughout the trial today, when
witnesses described .the cries, groans and
and throat gargling of , tho. dying man, re
mained absoluta!' unmoved.
At tbo opening ot the trial this morning
Frank Drew, tho capltol policeman, who
was on the stand last Friday when tho
court adjourned, resumed, his testimony.
Ho swore that he had several times seen
the defendant come out of Ayres' room
Tho last occasion was about a week beforo
tho tragedy. It was at night about
o'clock. On cross-examination he testl
fled that ho looked over the transom Into
the room on tho morning when Ayros' body
was discovered. Ho was closely questioned
as to tho location of tho furniture, cloth
lng add the position of tho body, to which
he testified upoo direct examination. He
testified that there was spaco enough be
hind tho door for a person to havo stood
there while tho door was openod to admit
another person.
Slip Often Vlsltrd Iho Kick.
Ho testified that he had seen Mrs. Honlne
come out of rooms of others In tho hotel,
among them those of several single nicn
and her demeanor was in no wise different
from that when ho saw her emerge from
Ayrcs' room. She displayed no evidences
of excitement. Her bearing was natural.
Sho had a habit of visiting the sick.
On cross-examination he testified that
thero were empty cartridge shells In tho
slop Jar on his flrst visit to tho rpom,
which was before Officer Drady broKo the
pistol and took the shells out.
Thomas M. Baker, an employe or tho fish
commission, who resided In the building
adjoining the Kcnmore, was then called
and testified that on the night ot the trag
edy he was awakened by the report of
pistol shots. He Jumped out of bed, went
tn the nirtdow nnd heard a voice from
abovo Inquiring whnt was wrong below. Ho
replied that he. had heard pistol shots
Then, whllo standing at his window, he saw
a figure on tho Arc escape just outsiuo or
Ayres' window. Tho figure walked the
length of the flro escapo In his direction
nnd then descended two flights to the
floor of the veranda, where It dls
uppeared - Into a window. It was
the figure of a small woman, clad In
dark, tight-fitting clothing. The woman
wore no hat, nnd as ho did not hear tho
fall of her footsteps he Judged she was In
her stocking feet. He described tbo man
ner of her descent, which 'ho snld was very
deliberate and without emotion.
N'cnr lloomera Olve Their Versions,
Robert P. Hopkins, a clerk In the "War
department who lived nt the Kenmorc hotol
where tho tragedy occurred, was the 'next
witness. Ho testified that ho lived 'on the
fifth floor 'over the room of Miss Lawless
who occupied the room adjoining that in
which Ayrcs was killed. Ills daughter was
III on tho night ot the tragedy. He had
been attending her and Just as ho was re
turning to bed he heard three loud reports
Ho went to the window and looked down
He saw something which looked like a
skull lying on the fire escape Just outside the
window wnicn ne afterward ascertained was
the window ot Ayrcs' room. Tbo shots wero
flrod tn quick succession, about four seconds
ho Judged between the first nnti last. At
tho conclusion of Mr. Hopkins' testimony
there was a stir In the court room as Emma
Lawless, who occupied the room adjoining
that In which tho tragedy occurred, wan
called. Miss Lawless showed considerable
nervousness as sho took the stand. She tos
tilled that she was employed In the bureau
of engraving and printing. On tho night ot
the tragedy, about 9.30 o'clock, she testified
Ayres knocked at her door and asked
If she had any sugar. He told her he was
going away and wanted to make somo
cocoa. She gave him the sugar. About ten
minutes later he knocked again add asked
her If she did, not want a cup. She replied
that sho did not care for It. About 10
o'clock she retired. She was slightly
aroused during the night, but was not
awakened. She formed no Idea as to what
aroused her or what time it was. The
district attorney then turned tho witness
over to the defendant's counsel, but be
asked but a single question, which brought
out nothing additional. At 12:15 o'clock
the court took a recess until 1 o clock.
Milt Mlnas IlecBlla Her rrlh
After recess Miss Mary F. Mlnas, a
clerk Jn .the census office, who occupied tho
room next to Ayres, took the stand. Sho
tostlflod that she wm a friend of Ayres
"And ot Mrs. Honlne?" asccd the dls
trlct attorney, . . .
"Of 'Mrs.lHonno''up' d'thaT, time,'' ro
nllorl Inn wUnoift.
Continuing Miss Mlnas teitlfled that on
tho evening 'of the tragedy after dlnnor
sho went to (ha dancing room. A gentle
man and hla wife soon called upon her and
sho took them to her room, where they re
maincd until 10130 o'clonlc, when they left
The halls were so dark that she was obllgad
to tako the hand ot her friend to lead bet-
to tho stairway Downstairs she met Mrs
Honlne and remarked that she was up late
"Yes, I am looking for Mnurlco tMrs
Honlne's sou)," replied Mrs. Bonlno. Mrs
Honlne accompanied her to her (Miss
Mlnas') room and after a few minutes sh
left. Miss Mlnas then retired. That was
about 11 o'clock. Miss Mlnas thou do
scribed what sho knew ot the tragedy, Sh
hud been awakened by thrco pistol shots
followed by cries for help and a gurglln
sound, then a fall and then all was quiet
Her flrst Idea was that It was a burglar I
the hall, but It all happened so quickly
that she was not really sure It was not
nightmare. "I was paralyzed with fright,'
hhe testified. "I rushed to tbo door an
piled several cbalri against K to protect
myself. I then sank Into a rocking chair."
I think I must havo fainted. After somo
Imo I wont to tbo window and looked out. !
All was as still as death. I walked the
floor, suffering lntonso ngony, I made up
my mind I would wait until daylight nud
then look out In the hall. When It got
light I opened tho door nnd looked out,
but as there was nothing outside to occa-
Ion tho disturbance I had heard I con-
luded that It had nil been a nightmare."
Mr. Ilonlne Siinerhtr t'nlm.
Then, she said, nho busied herself In her
room until breakfast time, when sho went
downstairs. Thero sho met Mr. Hopkins,
who told her what ho had heard atd sho
becamo satisfied It was not all n dream.
Sho then sent tho boy Dan up to call Mr.
Ayres. After tho discovery of tho body
Miss Mlnas said sho was very much tin-
trung and blamed herself for not hav
ing cried out. She wept at her place at
he table In tho dining room and testified
that Mrs. Ilonlno camo over nnd sat be
side her nnd comforted her. Sho testified
that Mrs. Honlne was very much composed,
that sho ordered her breakfast and In-
mired about all the details of what she
(Mli-s Mlnas) had heard. Mrs. Uonlno re
marked: "What a pity It wns ynu did not
ry out when you heard tho groans." Miss
Minns testified that after the Inquest on
Sunday Mrs. Ilonlno came to her with tho
paper containing the account of her (Miss
Mlnas') testimony In her hand and ex
pressed regret that sho had told what Bbo
(Mrs. Honlne) bad done on tho nlpht of
tho tragedy. Mrs. HonP called bor at
tention to llakcr s testimony about tho
color of the dross the womnti on thn fire
cscapo wore nnd said her (Miss Minns')
testimony would direct suspicion toward
her. Miss Mlnas testified that Mrs. Ilonlno
usually managed the dances at tho Ken-
morn nnd Miss Minns tnugbt Ayrcs to
dance. She also testified to the disagree
ment between Mrs. Ilonlno nnd Ayres dur
ing tho holidays and to tho fact that Mrs.
Uonlno subsequently complained because
Ayres no longer danced with her. Sho had
Invited Ayres to a birthday party In Febru
ary to be held lu Mrs. Honlne's room, but
