Frogs and funds in the 1908 Agriculture bill debate
The House Agriculture Committee trims a frog survey item and shifts funds within the Department of Agriculture. It eliminates a 50,000 dollar frog habitat study, while expanding forestry loans and meat inspection and seed distribution programs as part of a total 1908 appropriation of about 12.65 million dollars. The discussion frames frogs as a funding controversy with lawmakers debating the value of rural experiments and public expenditures.
