It has many agents in every section of the country, and covers a variety of subjects, in fact it has been said mat when there was any- ting new that came up it was re ft rred to this department to look after. However the following article taken from the Oregonian of a recent date, we beleive, wi'l give our readers some conception of the vast amount of work done and the aim for which its ener gies are directed.

It has applied to plant life the principles of breed ing which have long been applied to animal, life, for it has taught farmers to sow only the best s ied, which yields the largest crops.
