Agriculture Department To Celebrate Birthday WASHINGTON (UPI) Don't1 look now, but Christmas isn't the only thing that is creeping up on us. Almost before we knot it, we will he celebrating the 100th an niversary of the founding of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The event actually doesn't occur! until next year, but one branch of the department already has start ed presenting a series of eenten-l nial lectures, which I have bn reading with a great deal of in terest. , My interest in agriculture stems in part from having tried to grow some tomato plants in a backyard petunia bed. I finally gave up and ale the petunias. But more than thai. I am fas cinated by the endless variety of the department's activities.

Possibly this will lead in time to the develop ment of a non-sweet billerwecd. Not all of its experiments, how ever, have panned out so well. Among other things, the depart ment has attempted to promote lea growing, silkworm raising and ostrich farming in America. None could presently be described as booming. At the time that the department was created to help the American farmer, the American farmer was not necessarily aware that he needed any help. This was during Abraham Lincoln's administration. In his first annual message to Congress, Lincoln pointed out that the total agricultural representa tion in tile federal government consisted of one clerk. While il is fortunate that this great interest is so independent in its nature as to not have de manded and extorted more from the government. I respectfully ask Congress to consider whether something more cannot be given voluntarily with general advan tagc," he said. A few months later, Congress voluntarily gave the Agriculture Department. Its first annual budg et amounted In about $60,000, spent mainly in distributing seed packets for congressmen. - r This illustrates, as well as any thing, how much times" have changed in the past century. 1 spent almost thiit much last year ti-ying to grow tomato plants.
