PACKERS AND STOCKYARDS ADMINISTRATION. 



571 



nieetinfr enabled the Washincrton office to send the supervisors back 

 into tlie field with confidence that they should carry out the pro- 

 visions of the packers and stockyards act in a more intelligent way 

 than could possibly have been accomplished merely through cor- 

 respondence. In view of the very great benefits resulting from this 

 conference, other similar conferences will be held from time to time 

 not less often than once a year. 



AGENCIES SUBJECT TO THE ACT. 



The act went into effect immediately upon its passage as to 

 packers who are subject to Title II. and no registration or other 

 special formality was necessary in order to bring them within its 

 provisions. On the other hand, market agencies and dealers covered 

 by Title III of the law were not subject to its provisions until there 

 had been inquiry, formal determination, and public notice as to the 

 stockyards that were embraced within its operation. Consequently, 

 this was among the first of the activities of the Packers and Stock- 

 3'ards Administration. 



Up to June 30, 1922, it had been ascertained in accordance with 

 the provisions of the act that 78 stockyards, listed below, located in 

 70 cities in 35 States, are subject to the provisions of Title III as 

 public stockyard markets, and prior to June 30, 1922, 69 of these 

 stockyards were formally posted as required by law. The names 

 of the stockyards companies, the places where located, and the dates 

 upon which their stockyards were posted are set out below. Where 

 no date is shown the posting took place after June 30 and will be 

 covered in the next annual report :
