McCARREN Exactly 50 years ago on (February 9, 1889 congress 'decided that farming was to America's future, Today the department of celebrates its gold-(e- n anniversary as an execu-,tiv- e branch of the government under a cabinet officer. The department was actually created 27 years earlier amid the stress of the Civil ,war by President Lincoln. Between 1862 and 1889, however, it was directed by a commissioner of agriculture in the patent office and annual appropriations went largely for N PHOTO-KRAF- nt Buf-fingto- Modern devices help agriculture department officials In their dealings with producers.

Congress authorized the further development of commod ity grading and inspection services and the provision of a nation-wid- e market news service. After the World war it became necessary to deal with production and marketing as the two halves of a single prob lem. Experimental legislation, in cluding the agricultural marketing act of 1929, led eventually to the enactment of the agricultural ad justment act in 1933, and subse quently to the enactment of the sou conservation and domestic allotment act. To a large extent, however, the department has been, and still is, a research institution. Through its research, agriculture and industry have reaped huge benefits. The late Sir Horace Plunkett, Ireland's noted authority on agriculture, described it as "perhaps the most popular and respected of the world's great administrative institutions." Investigated Splenetic Fever. Department research has many brilliant achievements to its credit, many of which reach far beyond the field of agriculture. In 1893 department scientists proved that a found in the blood of cattle was the cause of splenetic fever and that the disease was transmitted by the cattle tick. This was the first demonstration that a microbial disease can be transmitted exclusively by an insect car nUl ery year. Cheap nitrogen from the air, pro duced by a synthetic ammonia process in many American plants, is to a large extent an outgrowth of re search in the department's laboratories. This' development resulted in the collapse of the foreign monopoly in organic nitrogen fertiliz ers and the United States is well on the road to independence in its requirements for fertilizer raw -Ke- All-Bra- All-Br- an Developed Better Products.

The party's future may be staked on his ability to handle this job. What's more, he's now but one step removed from the coveted house speakership, now held by Rep. William B. Bankhead of Alabama. Republicans like to think Joe Martin typifies the new kind of party leadership just emerging from the holocaust of the past eight years. Joe was the son of a North Attle-boro, Mass., blacksmith, who began selling papers at the age or. nve, graduated to night switchboard operator in the local telephone office, and ended up buying the town's daily paper when only 24 years old. He's been in congress 14 years, having started his political career in the Massachusetts legislature duiing the World war. Joe Martin's "system" is a thing of wonder, and it probably accounts for his constant success. To every voter in his district he sends a circular announcing the day he will be available at the given community's post office to hear complaints, praise, threats, demands and coaxes. It will be no surprise if Martin some day becomes a leading Republican presidential possibility.

With the passage of the Hatch act in 1887, research was encouraged at state agricultural experiment stations. The measure also encouraged a more extensive federal program for agriculture with congress appropriating funds specifically for investigating crop production, plant and animal diseases, insect pests, reclamation, and certain economic problems. Once established as an executive branch of the government, the department in reality became "grownup." Toward the end of the Nineteenth century, economic conditions and federal legislation broadened the department's responsibilities far beyond the realm of production science. As the settlement of the country proceeded and production expanded, new problems arose. Activities Expanded. It was necessary to find additional outlets for agricultural commodi ties, to cheapen and improve their distribution, and to aid farmers in matching their production with demand.
