WASHINGTON, April 29. (Special.)
"Tho" surplus products of tho states com
posing tho LoulMana purchaso furnish tho
foodsupply for tho United States and for
tho great nations of Europe. An exposition
of tho products nnd resources of this won
derful region tho moat wonderful In tho
world from nn agricultural standpoint
would undoubtedly nfford an Interesting and
Instructive object lesson."
Thl was tho comment of Secretary of Ag
riculture Wllion upon tho project to hold a
world's fair In St. Louis In 1903 to conimcm
orato tho centennial anniversary of the
Loulslnna purchase Sccretnry Wilson comes
from Iowa, one of tho most thickly settled
nnd productlvo states carved out of that
grand domain acquired, from Napoleon by
Thomas Jefferson. Tho secretary Is an en
thusiast upon tho subject of tho marvelous
resources of thin remarkably fertile terri
tory. Through tbo position which ha occu
pies ho has becomo mora fully acquainted
with tho great agricultural capacity of this
section of tho United States than probably
any other man In tho country and ho Is ever
ready to dlscourso upon tho development
and promlso of tho states Included lu what
ho Is pi caned to term "tho great food sup
ply center of tho world."
"Tho future great Americans tho men
who aro to bo the mainstay of tho United
States will como from tho great states of
tho Louisiana purchnso nnd those states
which adjoin upon the cast side of tho Mis
elwilppl river, forming tho 'Mississippi val
ley," continued the secretary. "That these
men shall meet tho full mcasuro of what
they ought to bo It Is necessary that they
bo men of education. It is Just as essen
tial for his succeni that tho farmer should
bo educated ns It Is for tho lawyer. When
over tho agriculturists of tho United State
aro educated up to tho samo standard of
lawyers and men of other professions they
will command an equal respect. Much Is
now being done for tho education of tho
agriculturists of tho country through tho
agricultural colleges, but undoubtedly a
great exposition, such as It Is proposed to
hold In St. Imis, would bo helpful to thoir
education. The people of tho Mississippi
valley are, In my Judgment, tho most cos
mopolitan people In tho world nud tho bring
ing of them together would be both Inter
esting and delightful. Thero Is no clnnnlsh
ntfiri among tho pcoplo of tho great states
of tho Mississippi valley. Perhaps If you
wero to look for clnnnlshness In othor sec
tions of this country you might And It, but
It can't bo found in tho great west.

"The Louisiana purchase states, through
tho opening up of new markets for their
surplus products In South America, Europo
and In 'tbo countries of tho Orient, aro now
enjoying an era of unexampled prosperity
and their prospects aro brilliant. Tho open
ing up of new markets for tho surplus
products of tho groat grain producing states
of the west Is certain to benefit tho entire
country. As tho surplus products of tho
west find new outlets In foreign markets,
agriculture in the eastern states will ex
perience a revival, owing to tho Increase
In prices which will bo the logical result
of nn Increased demand.
"During tho war with Spain all tho horsos
and mules nnd all tho beef used by tho
army of tho United States camo from tha
Louisiana purchaao states, nnd this section
Is now furnishing Grent Hrltaln with most
of the horses and mules which that country
Is using In Its South African campaign, In
addltlou to supplying tbo pcoplo at homo
with food supplies. Theso two wars havo
undoubtedly done much to exploit tho
Louisiana purchase states throughout tho
world."
Some KlKiiren on the Umpire.
As demonstrating tho wonderful produc
tive capacity of tho Louisiana territory,
Secretary Wilson furnished figures on tho
wheat output for 1899. Tho total produc
tion of wheat In tho United States In 1899
was .117,303, SIC bushels nnd tho farm valuo
of this product on December 1, 1899, was
