Secretary Meredith, presented by Dr. Clarence Poef president oj the convention, gave in some detail a re port of the activities of the United States Department of Agriculture, de scribed its functions and its results, and spoke for its workers a greater measure of co-operation and encour agement. Strange Business. "Considering the Department of Agriculture as a business proposition paying 1,000 per cent on its invest ment, can you imagine 'the boards of directors of such an organizatioivMn this case the Congress of the United States failing not only to support it with more funds but actually reduc ing its appropriation for the next fiscal year by approximately $6,000, 000 less than the estimate made by the department as to its. needs, and $2,185,000 less than the amount pro vided in the appropriation for the cur. rent fiscal year,", the Secretory ask ed. ' "Although the effect of the reduc ed funds on the work of the depart, ment was laid fully before Congress while the bill was under consideration, this serious reduction has been made apparently on the ground of econo my," he continued. "I do not believe it is economy, however, because it will certainly hamper the department in its efforts to aid the farmers of the country in doing their work of feeding and clothing the people, and will also handicap the department in administering some of the important regulatory . laws entrusted to it for enforcement The projects or activi ties to be curtailed or discontinued fat so far as. the department has any dis cretion in the matter have been de termined only after a very thorough and careful view of tlie whole situa tion, taking all the factors into con. sideration.'". In detail. Secretary Meredith point ed out how North Carolina will be effected by the cut in funds. Deprecates Criticism. , . He commented on the' remarkable progress of North Carolina in Agri culture, stressed- the efficiency of United States Department of AgricuL ture workers, and deprecated publish ed criticisms L; of the departmental work and. characterization of it as a sinecure,,.
