Only in comparatively recent years has there been an agricultural secretary in the president's cabinet. Prior to 1889 agricultural mat ters in the nation were allowed to drift, so far as the federal govern ment was concerned. Then the office of secretary was created, and President Cleveland ap pointed Norman' J. Coleman of Mis souri to fill it. Jeremiah M. Rush of Wisconsin, J. Sterling Morton, of Nebraska, James Wilson of Iowa, and David Houston have been the other agri cultural secretaries. "Tama Jim" Wilson was named by President Mcinley, and was con tinued in office by Roosevelt and Taft. The secretary of agriculture has supervision of public business re lating to the agricultural industry— the biggest industry in the United States—has advisory supervision ever government experiment stations, manages department sub-divisions, has responsibility for quarantine taws, and is the authority that en forces interstate game laws. County agent work is one of the big features of the abricultural de partment's activities. It costs mil lions annually. Besides responsibility for this en ormous government supervision and encouragement of agriculture is one of the members of the president's official cabinet which considers questions of national policy. He is one of the president's official advisers. Caroline Has Crossed Again.
