THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, MONDAY, MAY 25, 1931 FOREIGN BRANCH OF U8. D. A. EXPANDED _, BY ACT OF CONGRESS Offices Set Up in Australia, South America, Europe, Asia, and Africa SPECIALISTS HARD AT WORK} Scientists Comb All Parts of World for Plants for Amer- ican Farmers } Washington, D. C., May 25.—Scat- | tered through the world are Uncle Sam's ambassadors of agriculture, serving American farmers, as repre- sentatives of the U. S. Department of Agriculture's Foreign Agricultural Service. Since June, 1930, when this foreign service of the department was broad- ened by an act of congress, official representatives have been set up in vermanent offices at Sydney, Aus- tralia; Buenos Aires, Argentina; Ber- lin; Pretoria, South Africa; Belgrade, Yugoslavia; London, Shanghai and Marseilles. 3 The men at these stations oversee the gathering of information on for- eign markets, demand and supply, ex- port and import taxes, probable pro- duction figures of different farm commodities, beneficial farm practices carried on in these countries, and di- rect the work of United States com- modity specialists stationed in coun- tries within their territory. These commodity specialsts are loated at Kobe, Japan, Cairo, Egypt, Havre, London and Berlin, In addi- tion, the U. S. Department of Agricul- ture sends direct from the United States several plant scientists who comb the interiors of Europe, Asia, South Africa and other continents for plants which will prove of value to American farmers. Finds Many Soybeans An illustration of the latter in- stance is the recent return of Wm. J. Morse, soybean specialist of the U. 8. Department of Agriculture, from a two-year search for soybean varieties in Japan, Korea and Manchuria. He trought back 300 samples of manu- iactured soybean products and 4000} lots of soybean seed. Probably the most important work of this division of the department of agriculture is the crop reporting done in foreign countries. Asher Hobson, in charge of the di- vision, sums up this activity as fol-| lows: “In order to make estimates of price prospects for American agricul-| tural products the department needs aecurate knowledge of the world sit- uation in regard to agreage sown, crop conditions, stocks on hand, num- cers and kinds of livestock, and prices, together with an appraisal of present | and prospective demands. “The prices of a greater portion of the farm commodities grown in this country are affected by conditions abroad, and those definitely on an im- port or export basis are most sensi- tive to the impact of foreign econo-| mic forces. Many Products Affected “Of those on an export basis, cot- ton, grain, tobacco, pork products, apples and dried fruit are outstand- ing. The more important items com- mercially grown in this country, but of which large quantities are also im- ported, are sugar, wool, flaxseed and nuts. To these lists should be added! dairy products, beef, mutton and lamb, which do not fall definitely into either export or import class but which, during periods of over or un- Ger production, must cope with for- eign competitors.” On the reports gathered by the field forces of the foreign offices, the U. S. Department of Agriculture is influenced in dispensing its advice to; United States growers. | For instance, if there isa huge surplus of wheat lying in storage in| Furopean markets, it would be unwise for American farmers to increase their wheat acreage because the foreign de- mand would be considerably reduced by the surplus carry-over. The same situation holds true of any other farm commodity. Upon receipt of crop reports from foreign offices, the U. S. Department of Agriculture, through its field of- tices and news bureau, distributes the information to farmers. In this way 9 farmer knows how to govern his Production. The gathering of different types of plants, trees and fruits by the for- eign agricultural experts has been of untold value to American farmers. Hundreds of plants providing new and valuable crops have been intro- cuced into the United States. » ITS ALL GONE NOW Peggy: I'm divorcing Charlie.
