At first we knew little about the functions and scope of the USDA, and our relationship to it could be described as entirely practical. It supplied us with bulletins, tested our soil samples and animals, and gave information in response to questions.

It was evident that it must have many sources of information, that it had laboratories and employed a considerable staff of scientists and agricultural experts who wrote down the results of their research in simple language in bulletins and distributed them.

The study of the development of agriculture in America, a development that continues daily and hourly right under our eyes, is doubtless one of the most interesting and important means to an understanding of the past, present, and future history of America. I can only tell a little of it now, for where I am writing in Europe the material about the history of the USDA is not at hand, and I am no longer in touch with the changes that may have taken place.

However, since the USDA is one of the most significant and important institutions of America, I cannot avoid telling about this powerful support system, this unique institution with which we spent our daily life.
