THE DEPARTMENT OF AG-
RICULTURE, Washington, D. C.
The activities of this Department
cost the Government about $16,-
000,000. annually and 17,000,000
copies of 1,200 different publica-
tions are issued by. it during a
year. Its bureaus of Chemistry
Weather, Animal Industry, Plant
Industry, Soils, Statistics, Ento-
mology, Biological Survey, and
Forest Service are of inestimable
value to the nation, as evidenced
by the fact the Bureau of Animal
Industry alone inspects seven bil-
lion pounds of meat a year.
