RELATION OF DEPT. OF
AGRICULTURE TO BUSINESS
Secretary Wallace Discusses Regulatory
Work and Proposed New
Laws to Business Men.
In an address on the Department of
Agriculture and its relation to business,
given before a group of New
York business men, June 7, SecretanWallace
referred briefly to the relation
of the department to businsess
through its administration of the various
regulatory laws which have been
passed since 1900. He said that during
the first 40 years of the life of the
department its chief endeavors were
in the direction of promoting production,
but beginning about 1900 it had
become more and more closely related
to business of various kinds.
For example, it administers the
Food and Drug Act, which forbids the
adulteration or misbranding of any ar
tide of food or drugs, and thus comes
in contact with thousands of business
concerns throughout tjie country. It
inspects all of the meats which pass
into Jnterstate commerce and, therefore,
has representatives in every
packing house which does an interstate
business. It administers a number
of quarantine laws dealing with
live stock and plants.
It has charge of the National Forests
and has come into relation with
all kinds of business through its stu-|
dy of the most economical use of

grains and sees to their enforcement,!
and the decisions of its inspectors are j
now respected by everyone connected!
with the grain trade.

ir.g with future trading in cotton and 1
disputes are submitted to its representatives
for final decision.
At almost every session of cor.gress
some new legislation is enacted which
imposes additional duties on the department
in the way of administering
regulatory laws.
Referring to the two bills now under
consideration by congress, one
dealing with future trading in grain
and the other dealing with the pack- '
ing plants, Secretary Wallace said
that the department had not initiated
either of these measures; that they
have grown out of a belief on the part .
of large numbers of farmers that our
grain exchanges are places where the
prices of farm grains are manipulat- ,
ed to the disadvantage of the farmer,
and that our larger packing enterprises
are conducted in such a way .
as to produce violent and unfair fluctcation
in the prices of live stock. ' He
said that our present system of mak,'nor
nri/*oc for trrains Oil the Various '
grain exchanges is the best system
which has yet been devised; that pos- 1
sibly some time in the future some
better system might be discovered, 1
but, until that had been done, we
should do nothing to interfere with
the orderly and legimate operation of
grain exchanges. j
"But it is a matter of common
knowledge," the Secretary said, "that
around these grain exchanges abuses
have grown up which are to the detriment
Y>f every legimate interest.
We know that there is manipulation
by large operators whi<^h at times un- ,
fairly depresses the price of grain to
the injury of the farmer, and at other
times unfairly advances the price of
grain to the injury of the consumer.
The legislation now being considered
is directed toward the removal of
these unfair practices."

for farmers' products."
Referring to the proposed packer
legislation, Secretary Wallace said
that the business of meat packing is
absolutely essential to the continuation
of our live stock industry.
"The developement of these paints
has been a matter of national pride,'
he continued. "They offer a market
for cattle, hogs, and sheep every business
day in the year. But their very
size has giver, them such a dominance
in the business of killing live stock
and marketing meat products that
Ihey are, in effect, if not in fact, of
the nature of public utilities. It
ivould be greatly to the disadvantage
of our agriculture if anything should
be done which would impair the efficiency
of these slants are conducted
or impose unjust additions to their
cost of operation. But the farmer is
Entitled to know mat these plants are
operated in such a way as to give him
just prices for his live stock, and the
consumer is entitleu to know that the
meat products arc marketed at a reasonable
cost."
The Secretary declared that if such
legislation should be enacted and it?
administration should be placed under
the Department of Agriculture, the
law would be administered fairly to
all concerned and in full knowledge
of the impoitj^e bf the idustry and
its necessity to a prosperous agriculture.
Referring to the need for a closer
relation between agriculture and business,
the Secretary said:
"The period of agricultural exploitatiorf
is practically at an end and, if
production is to b;> maintained, every
effort must be made to put agriculture
or. a thoroughly sound basis. In times
past those of our farmers who have
gotten ahead financially have done so
largely through the increased value
of their land caused by a growing
population. The Jarmers of the future
can not hope to profit largely in this
way. If production is to be maintained,
the farmer must be able to get
prices for his prodi cts which will give
him a fair rate o.f interest on the
money he has invested and a fair
wage for his labor and the labor of
his family. Lacking this the fanner
will turn his efforts in some other
directidn.
"Now, if the farmer is to get a
fair wage and, a: the same time, sell
his crops at prices which the people
of the country can afford to pay, we
must not only increase our production,
but we must find better methods of
distribution. We must get the products
of the farm to the city with less
waste and at less relative cost. Also
must learn how to take some of the
speculative risk out' of farming.
"In one sense the farmer is the
greatest speculator in the world. His
business is subjected to risks which
he can not insure against. He is at
the mercy of the weather. In an hour
a hailstrom may completely destroy
the results of six month's work.
Drought and floods alike reduce his
income. He has no means of correctly
estimating hte demand for the
:rops he proposese to produce. He
ran not control Droduction as can the
manufacturers. Hp has nothing to say
ibout the price. What he gets for
lis crops constitutes his wages, but he
toes not know until six months or a
fear after the work is done what hi*
.vages are to be * * If in times past
are had seen morj clearly the interiependance
of agriculture and busiless,
if we had given the same scien:ific
study to the methods of dis^ribu:ion
that we have given to methods
>f production, it is reasonable to beieve
that much of the trouble we are
iow experiencing might have been
lvoided.
The Begining of a New Period.
"When we have worked our way
;hrough this period of depression and
lave shaken off the grip of these
?conomic forces wh'ch are now causng
us so much discomfort we will
ind ourselves at the begining of a
lew period in our national life. Up
to the present time this nation, like
ropsy, has "just growed." In the
future there must be a more conscious
lirection of our growth and a much
:loser coordination of our various activities.
The relation between agri
culture and business will become more
ind more intimate.
"The Department of Agriculture,
charged with the duty of promoting
agriculture in its broadest sense n<
for the benefit of the farmers alo: ,
sr even primarily but for the ber -1
fit of all our people, may very properly
inquire into everything which,has
a bearing upon our agriculture! welfare
to the end that our ae iculture
be put upon a sound and enduring basis
which will insure an abundant production
of food at prices bur consuming
population can well uuord to pay.
Without lessening ior a mumci.!, iui |
activities in scientific research, our
efforts to find cheaper methods of
production, our im(.r -vement in varieties
and breeds, we must give more
attention to the problems of finance
and of marketing and of everything
et?"e which directly or indirectly influences
both production i<n<^ price."
