WASHINGTON. March 1 T. The
I'nlted States Is destined to be the
greatest industrial Nation In the world,
t'uring the last two decades the growth
of Its commercial and Industrial activi
ties baa been unequaied, the annual value
of the products of Its mills being more
than t.'e.Oon.Ono.oofl. as compared with
less than S 10,000.000.000 20 years ago.
In the 12 months ended June 30,
111. tiie total value of Its exports was
tl. 013. 500. 000. of which amount only a
little mora than 1600.000.000 was cred
ited to manufactures ready for con
sumption and t3v!,000.000 to manu
factures for further use In manufactur
ing, the remainder being for foodstuffs
and crude materials. Krom this It will
be seen that the bulk of the export
trade la not acquired on account of any
extensive selling effort on the part of
the United States, but Is due to the fact
that foreign buyers buy those things
whUh tltey must have and cannot buy
clxewticrc. such as cotton, rorn and
wheat.
Keoaomle Ceadllloaa Ckoaged.
In the past. American manufacture!
lave been busy supplying the home
market. It was only when a surplus
existed that the foreign markets were
entered. Conditions. however, 'have
changed. The urban population Is In-
creasing more rapidly than the rural,
and the production uf manufactured
articles bus surpassed that of agricul
tural products. The home consumption
of agricultural products Is greater than
ever before and the surplus of man
ufactured good Is also greater and Is
Increasing at a tremendous rate.
Consequently, If the L'nlted States' Is
to hold Its balance of trade, manufac
tured exports . must, to some extent,
take the place of raw farm products,
and If this country Is to keep Its mills
running, tbe large surplus of manufac
tured goods must be disposed of
through foreign channels. To Invade
and occupy foreign markets requires
a thoroiiKh knowledge of the existing
conditions In those markets and a
m Hitnsness to adjust American methods
to them. The tastes and peculiarities
of the people must be considered, and.
above ail. American manufacturers
must rcdaVe articles adapted to the
foreign market which Is sought by
l.. cm. To do this, organlxatlon and
co-operation between the business men
of tue country, the trade organisations
and the Government are necessary.
Germany ranks as the best equipped
natpn of the world today with regard
to organization In connection with
trade development. She makes use of
every national force to aid and foster
lier foreign commerce. Special rates
are mode for exports over transporta
tion lines, her commercial asent.
banks and steamship lines are found in
every corner of the globe; her systems
of commercial education are wltnout
cuual; her trade and commercial or
ganizations are semi-official, and all
luce efforts are as one unit In the
service of building up Germany's for
eign commerce.

where the I'nlted States spends flO.000
or less. In New York one foreign gov

was selected as Speaker of the House
of Arizona's first State Legislature by
a caucus of Democratic members this
afternoon. He will receive the unani

Legislature convenes tomorrow fore
noon. Only four of the 35 members of
the lower House are Republicans.
Bradner's only rival for the place was
A. K. Lynch, an attorney of Safford.
Both were members of the constitu
tional convention, in which Brsdner
headed what was known aa the "labor"
delegation. He waa the choice of the
state administration for Speaker.
A caucus of Demooxatlc members of
the State Senate was held tonight and
no opposition developed to Michael O.
Cunnlff, of Crown K,.., who will be
elected President. Mr. Cunniff also
waa a member of the constitutional
convention. Prior to coming to Ari
inna, four years ago. he was engaged
in magaslna work in New York, prior
to which he was an instructor at Har
vard. As" In the House, the Senate is over
whelmingly Democratic, the Republic
ans having only four of the 1 Sena

recall of the Judiciary, stricken out at
the Insistence of President Taft. It
Is believed that an equal suffrage
amendment also will be submitted to
the people. A drastic antt-lobbying
act lias been drafted and may be sub
mitted on the first day.
Governor Hunt's message to the Leg
islature Is understood to be almost a

onuGo.VIAN NEWS BLT.KAI". Wash
ington, March 17. Under the direction
of the United ltaUi; Department of
Agriculture a series of Interesting ex
periments are being carried on at the
bulb garden near Belllngham, Wash.
For years the United States has been
sending to Holland and Kuropean
countries many thousands of dollars
annually for hyacinth, tulip, narcissus
and crocus bulbs. The purchase of
those bulbs had constantly increased
until the last. year, when over 11.000,
000 worth were imported.
In 1!08 tiie Secretary of Agriculture
decided to establish on the Paclnc
Coast a garden for the culture and
propagation of Holland bulbs, and a
point on Puget Sound, near Bellingham
was selected as having a suitable soil
and cllmnte. A tract of 10 acres was
leased through the Bellingham Board
of Trade and the necessary buildings
were erected and turned over to the
Department of Agriculture to demon
strate whether the Holland bulbs could
be grown successfully there.
The Department commenced to work
at once, and the same year planted
over 170.000 bulbs. From that time
the Work has gone on Increasingly un
til the present year, when over 869,000
were planted The increase has been
gratifying, each bulb yielding the
maximum number of young ones,
which have proved equal. If not supe
rior to the results obtained In Hol
land. Holland May Re Surpassed.
It is believed that bulbs can be
grown on the Pacific. Coast and of a
quality that will compare with, and
In many ways surpass rlie imported
article, the cost of production and
marketing being now the chief ob
stacles. An elTort is being made to overcome
the difference between the high price
of labor in America and the cheap
labor of Kurope by Inventing appli
ances to lessen the hand labor required
in bulb production and the substitu
tion of horse power for many of the
operations performed entirely by hand
in Europe has reduced the cost of pro
duction considerably. In this way it
is hoped that growers in the United
States will be able to compete suc
cessfully with the Kuropean bulb
growers.
A serious drawback to the produc
tion of Holland bulbs on the Coast is
the heavy expense of freight shipments
serosa the continent, but when ship
ment can be made by water, after the
completion of the Panama Canal. It
should be possible to deliver such
bulbs at the port of New York almost
as cheaply as they can be brought
from Kurope. Furthermore, the de
mand for such bulbs for planting on
the I'aciric Coast Is rapidly increasing.
Thouaaada Visit Gardens.
These experiments are solely for the
purpose of showing prospective bulb
growers what can be done In growing
these bulbs in the United States. The
gardens are always open to the pub
lic and when the bulbs are In bloom
thousands of people visit the gardens.
Thousands of hyacinths, .tulips and
narcissi, in all colors and nearly all
in flower at once, can be seen.
Kecords are being kept and much
valuable Information Is being collected
In coneetlon with the bulb experi
ments which records will eventually
be at the disposal of anyone who may
wish to take up bulb growing.
Last year an Interesting experiment
was made on the trial grounds of the
Iepartment of Aericulture. at Wash
ington, where a test was made of the
bulbs that had been grown at Belling
ham In comparison with thote grown
In Holland. Fifty bulbs of the same
varieties of tulips were planted side
by side and given the same treatment.
Those from Belingliam opened their
flowers from seven to ten days earlier
than the v Holland-grown bulbs, were
of better quality in sine of flower and
in color, and were remarkable for the
almost tdtal absence of disease, while
the Imported bulbs showed a large
Dumber of diseased plants and many
of them failed to produce a dower.
Aa the demand for such flower roots
is increasing rapidly and bids Tair to
double in value within a few years.
It offers a promising field for the in
vestment of American capital and the
establishment of a new and profitable
industry on the Pacific Coast which
will keep at home the large amount of
money now being sent abroad annu
ally for bulbs.

THIS $10 TO S20 LAND WILL NOT LAST LONG.
The reason the Canadian Pacific priced some of Its lands
at lower figures than others was not because of inferiority
of .oil. but berause of the difference in distance to the mar
kets. This discrepancy will soon be a thing of the past.
The new railroads building this year will bring ever- acre
within easv hauling distance, and It Is only reasonable to
suppose that the cheaper tracts will have their prices In
creased to conform to the amount charged for farms adjacent
to the company's own railroad. This suggestion ought to
prompt buver. to call upon us without delay. If the Prlf
of 10 land la increased to per acre, tbe difference will
he lust one-balf more. This increase may be made without
notice. One thing is certain: These lands, intrinsically worth
every whit a. much as the sr0 to 100-per-acre farms of old
settled regions, never will sell for less than present prices.
To procrastinate Is to run the risk of higher figures.
