Wednesday, March 20, John
Tbe Governmtut And The Farmer.
In his message of January 31
to the farmers of America, Pres
ident Wilson points out the great
governmental agencies and in
strumentalities in the field of ag
riculture. 7
Our Department of Agriculture,
he states, is the greatest practical
and scientific organization in the
world and its total annual budget
of four to six million dollars has
been increased during the last
four years more than 72 per cent.
Its staff, numbers 18,000 and in
cludes many highly trained ex
perts. The agricultural colleges
and experiment stations of the
country have a total endowment
of plant equipment of $172,000,
000 and an annual income of more
than $35,000,000. Ten thousand
two hundred and seventy one
teachers with 125,000 students,
together w ith a vast number re
ceiving instruction at their
homes, evidence what is being
done in the way of agricultural
training, and to these may be
added the 255 men and women
working under the Smith-Lever
Act.
The banking legislation of the
last two or three years, the Pres
ident shows, has given the farm
ers access to the great lendable
capital of the country and through
the FederaliReserve banking sys
tem and the Farm Loan banking
system farmers can obtain the
credit, both short and long term,
to which they are entitled and
which it is imperatively neces-.
sary should be extended to them
to enable them to perform ad
equately the tasks the country
now requires of them.
The' President touches on an
other aspect of the relations be
tween the farmers and the
Nation-"The toil, the intel
ligence.the energy,, the
foresight, the self-sacrifice.
and devotion of the farmers of
America will, I believe, bring to
a triumphant conclusion this
great war."
