The report calls attention to the fact that the first efforts towards a reorganization were hampered because of the surprising fact that the appropriations for the current fiscal year, were made entirely upon the basis of the old organization. no account being taken of tho entire change in status of the department The Secretary Insists upon tho necessity for his relief from this embarrassment. and for adequate ftppttk priatioiis hi enable iiihl id meet what he believes to be the obligations Of the department to the country. The Secretary anticipates a portion of his plan for reorganization in the estimates fof the forthcoming fiscal year, $i,S5»,000. lie says that the aggregate sum asked for in his estimates must not be measured by what is past, but by what a great agricultural country should do towards ‘'sustaining, protecting and promoting a calling which ties at the foundation of Its prosperity ami power.'* A striking contrast in drawn between this amount and the appropriations for agriculture made by those countries which.the report says, "are the most active competitors of American farmers in the world's mark s." The comparison shows that Great Britain appropriates for agriculture $1,500,000. Germany $3,850,000, Brazil 0.000.000 for agriculture and mines, France $8.000.000 and Austria more than$1,000,000. Considerable spaoe is devoted to the work of the division of statistics. “Tho crop reporting system," he says. “While approximate and Valuable, is ill danger of becoming discredited by the popular acceptance of its results as exact in precision and absolute in authority. It should, be remembered that they are not the cotlelusions of a thorough census. though they may he far better than the work of a poor oeii’lli that they are the consolidations of local estimates of agricultural experts and art- inic.nded as a foil to the interested, biased aflj untruthful statements that speculators] issue to mislead their victims.” Of the rapid development of agriculture in the Rocky Mountain districts, the Secretary says that the division of statistics has been directed to investigate their resources with all the facilities at its command. "The result," he adds, "will surprise the Eastern States with new views of the wealth and progress of the Great American Desert of the recent past."

The region where the sorghum-sugar industrymay be attended with success has been localized in the southern part of Central Kansas, west and south of Wichita, and in parts of the Indian Territory resembling it in soil and climate.

The Tradesmen's National Bank TnlUn* Itself Together and Will Pay In »uU— Some of Cresson's Assets Keeovered. ( XokkistoWN, Pa. Xov. 4.—The defalcation of Cresson. the fugitive cashier of the Tradesmen's National Bank of Conshohocken. has taken another turn, and the directors say the bank will be reopened in a few days and all claims paid in full. On Saturday they explored the contents of Cresson's private box in the vault and found $75,000 worth of life insurance, all in full force: two mortgages for $2,000: stock in the Good Bros.’ Iron W orks to the value of *1.000, and $1,000 worth of stocks in the Sprinp Garden Farmers' Market Company of Philadelphia. They have entered suit against him as a fugitive for $80,000, and under this proceeding will attach every .dollar of his personal effects. All the life "'nfs«mage policies are written as payable to tlis^^heirs or assigns, except policies in which his wife is named as"~" the beneficiary. Forty-five hundred doltars of the insurance is on the endowment plan and will mature in March. All the insurance but the $15,000 ® Mrs. Cresson's favor will be converted into cash. The directors hope to realise $25,000, at the lowest calculation, out of Cresson's assets, which they discovered Saturday. Execution has been issued q« State Treasurer Hart's $15,000 judgment to cover the amount of State funds deposited in the bank, and all of Cresson’s property, with the exception of his gas and electric light stock, is practically in the hands of the director* of the bank.
