The suggestion Is that what the farmer, need at tb of tbe Depurtnicnl ol Agriculture , • horoy-banded *on of loll." but p Statesman, financier, economist and publicist. We do not understand that any inraten' organ Ira lion has asked for the appointment of a man who Is still doing his own farm labor on a quarter ruction of land. Far from it. What the farmers ■rant l* a Secretary i Agriculture w»S> ha* faimed and made such a success of IL that he has become a practical financier. ■-'oi.omist. and therefore, statesman, r as agricultural pioblenn are ecni.
