Anyone reading the annual report d' Secretary Wilson can hardly fail to get the impression that the veteran head of the agricultural department is something ol a limn uplifter ''himself. For twelve years he has tailored tor tiu advancement of agriculture in all its aspects and for thf betterment of rural conditions in iimimieruble ways, Giv ine an account of his stewardship, Secretary Wilson de clares that during his administration "agriculture has made wonderful progress and permanent advances, and that the farmer of the medium and better sorts, in mat ters of information, intelligence, and industry, has thriven mightily." The farmer has solved the problem ot national sustenance by increasing food production, according to Orchard and Farm; he has developed larger efficiency in what may be called the financial management of agricultu ral enterprises, and he has established himself and fam ily in pleasanter ways of living. His uplift is not among the things that are to come; it has already arrived. Elements of the agricultural transformation Mr. Wil son has witnessed in the last doen years, and to which his department has largely contributed are many, but there is one. of them deserving special mention on account or its economic importance, and that is the spread of co-operation among farmers. Contrary to his reputation, says the secretary, the farmer is a great organizer. It is estimated that the numbers of farmers' co-operative associations is 75,000 with a total membership of :i,00l,(K0. representing one-half the cultivable lands of the country. The lines along which farmers more especially develop ed co-operation are fire, livestock, and tornado insurance, with' about 2,(HK),(H)() policy holders; butter and cheese mak ing, irrigation, the warehousing of grain and cotton, tele phone service, and co-operative buying and selling. The buying is conducted mostly by co-operative stores and more extensively by groups of farmers, who buy potatoes, wheat, and other products for seed, or who buy from certain mer chants and manufacturers under an agreement Tor dis count from regular prices. Associations to regulate, promote and manage the de tails of selling products of co-operating fanners are found in all parts of the United States. There is co-operation for selling by the growers of fruits, vegetables, nuts, and berries; by livestock men, by the producers of cotton and tobacco, wheat, sweet potatoes, flax, oats, eggs, poultry and honey. Farmers co-operate to sell milk for city sup ply, to sell wool, cantaloupes, celery, cauliflower, citrus fruits, apples, and so on with a long list. "In addition to the associations for purely economic purposes, there are many others for educational or social improvements, giving opportunity lor exchange ot ideas and for comparative study of farm methods. The eco nomic associations, however, are destined to play an in creasing role in the country's agricultural life. Some of them have come into unpleasant notice by reason of the lawlessness of some of their members in the night-riding districts of the south, but in spite of their lawlessness they have an economic reason for being, which will survive when the unruly members have been brought into submission. The formation of these associations shows that the farmer has felt the moving spirit of the times, which is co-operation and organization. By closing up ranks lie will be bet ter able to hold his own in the economic struggle: he will no. longer be at the mercy of both buyer and seller. It is a movement of immense significance, both nationally and agriculturally. ... BUTTE FAIJ.S ITEMS. Ueorge Albert has fjune on n visit to Boilu, Idaho, nml wilt likt'ly riMiiam several months. J.

NEGRO PUOILIST SAID TO BE DEAD IN PRISON l"im.AIKl.lMll., !., r'eb. I. Mys i. -y surrounds the reported attempted .it t ide of Juek Hlackburn. a negro pug lisi. who is in M-iyamensilig prison awaiting trial for murder. The prison officials lire silent, (leneral St. flair Mulliollaiid, prison inspector, says the report is untrue. If Hlackburn is dead, as some reports have it, his body is supposed to be in the prison hospital. Poison, not hanging, is tho means which the negro used in the nttetopt on his life, nccording to a rumor in circulation today. It is said a woman visited Hlackburn a few days ago and slipped him a vial containing poison, which he swallowed in his cell last night. No confirmation o fthis report can be obtained at Moya mousing. rf lu n 5 sa SOCIALISTS WOUNDED IN CLASH WITH POLICE I I UANOVKK, tlermntiy. Felt. (.
