Total Production of Estate

The United States Outlay on Progressive 



Agriculture. 



Discussion on the financial appropriations for next year was taking place in 

 the Legislature of the United States at Washington when the last advices 

 left, and the Newsletter brings to light the estimation in which progressive 

 agriculture i.s held in that country. The original estimates framed by the 

 Department called for a total of about 37,000,000 dollars for the year l'.i21, 

 an increase of about 3,628,000 dollars over the appropriations of the previous 

 year. But legislators are the same the world over, and the amount had to 

 be cut down by one item and another, until at the time the latest advices left 

 the total had shrunk to 32,740,000 dol'ars. 



If the New South Wales publicist reflects that that seems a generous sum, 

 let him also take account of the fact that part of these large sums is paid as 

 subsidies to the agricultural college.-* .'situated in each State of the Union, on 

 condition that the colleges spend similar sums out of their own or the State 

 funds on research and extension work. The amount so expended appears to 

 approximate another -1,000,000 dollars annually, and does not include the 

 enormous expenditure of the colleges and experiment stations on purely 

 collegiate and educational work, so that Uncle Sam's total expenditure on 

 the advancement of primary production is a tidy amount, beside which our 

 expenditure in New South Wales is ver}' small indeed. 



An Inquiry about False Castor-oil Plant 



{Datura stramonium). 



As it has been noticed that this plant has been largely stripped of its leaves 

 by stock during the recent drought, the Chief Inspector of Stock would be 

 glad to receive reports from any stockowners who consider that they have 

 lost stock from eating this plant during the dry time. The seeds have 

 often been recorded as poisonous in other countries.
