Author Description

Excerpt from Report of the Secretary of Agriculture, 1958 Dear mr. President: This report tells part of the story of how the Department of Agriculture - the people's Department as President Lincoln described it nearly a century ago - served not only 20 million farm and ranch people, but the whole Nation during 1958. In these pages you will find many specific examples of careful, dili gent, wise endeavor on the part of thousands of scientists, technicians, administrators, and all the personnel of this great Department. Yet this recital can do no more than skim the surface of a vast area of accomplishment. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
