Agricultural Matters Report Highlights Benefits to Farmers
Secretary of Agriculture Rusk presents the annual report to the President outlining improved farm values under current legislation. He notes tariff shifts and increased import duties on cereals and animal products, crediting silver legislation for higher coreala values and reduced Russian and Indian competition. The report commends disease control, trade measures, and calls for broader animal inspection laws for inter state and foreign trade. It also discusses potential sugar production from sorghum, silk production prospects, and the Weather Bureau transfer to the department with aims to widen its agricultural impact. A push for increased publication of department findings and a dedicated US and European market promotion for Indian corn is emphasized.
