could not guarantee it any more than he 

 did the other. If it was, as seems quite 

 likely, a mistake on the part of the 

 clerk who filled the order, the sales- 

 man ought to make it good and it would 

 be good business policy for him to do 

 so." 



IN AID OF THE FARMER. 



The report of the appointment clerk of 

 the U. S. Department of Agriculture for 

 1907 shows that there were on the rolls 

 of the department at the close of the 

 fiscal year 9,107 employees. Of the en- 

 tire force 1,972 were employed in the 

 District of Columbia and 7,135 outside 

 of the District. 



The following figures are sufficient to 

 show the growth of the department dur- 

 ing the last forty years: In 1867 the 

 total number of persons employed was 

 99; in 1877 the total number was 77; in 

 1887 there were 328 employees; by 1897 

 the number had increased to 2,444, and 

 on July 1, 1907, the total number of 

 persons employed had reached 9,107. 



The results of the investigations con- 

 ducted by the department are made 

 known and become available for the use 

 of the people by the means of publica- 

 tions, of which 1,415 were issued during 

 the year, 596 being new and 819 re- 

 prints. These publications comprised 

 52,363 printed pages, and the total num- 

 ber of copies aggregated 16,746,910, an 

 increase of 3,258,889 copies over last 

 year. But, says Secretary "Wilson in 

 his annual report, ' ' the publication work 

 of the department has assumed such mag- 

 nitude that only by the most careful ed- 

 itorial supervision, and by the enforce- 

 ment of the most rigid economy in the 

 printing, and by the exercise of con- 

 stant discretion in the distribution of 

 documents, has it been possible to ac- 

 compUsh the results attained with the 

 present appropriation. ' '
