70 AGRICULTURAL APPROPRIATION BILL, 192-4. 



Mr. Anderson. I saw that. I think it was very jrood for its kind, 

 but I do not think that is what they want. I wouhl not think that it 

 would be in keepin<r with a show in our own country where we in- 

 vite competition from all tlie other <rreat countries of the world. 



Mr. Jump. You will remember the past history on this apjiropria- 

 tion, Mr. Cliaii-man. You will i-ecall that when the amount was 

 $100,000. Avhich is the way they started out with this when it was 

 handled by the other committee, there was a proviso in it that $'2r).(X)0 

 should be available for the National Dairy Show. That year, as I 

 recall it, the department spent about $23.0(M) on the dairy -show ex- 

 hibit. It was next to the last year the show was held in Chicap:o. 

 The next year the department requested not to tie up all that money 

 in one show, and the cost of the department's exhibit was reduced to 

 $10,000. I am under the im])ression that this year's and last year's 

 exhibit cost even a little under that amount. I presume what you 

 have in mind now would he an exhibit showin«r modern dairy methods 

 and perhaps some of the laboratory work, like the makinjr of cheese 

 and such as that, and that is where the money comes in. where you set 

 up those temporary laboratories at shows like we had last year at 

 St. Paul, and the year before at Chicafro. Did you see the show at 

 St. Paul last year, which included the small bacteriolofrical lal)ora- 

 tory ? 



Mr, Anderson. Xo, sir. 



Mr. Green. Dairy machinery, laboratory, and similar equi})ment 

 is very expensive. 



Mr. Buchanan. Somebody oufrht to be able to tell us what it would 

 cost to ))ut on a creditable exhi])it at this world's con<rress. 



Mr. Green. It will cost $25,000. 



Mr. Anderson. You cut out this lan<rua<ze " in connection with 

 the other dejjartments of the Government." That is for show |mr- 

 poses ? 



Mr. (jRFJEN. Yes, sir. 



Mr. Buchanan. You never cooperate with any other department? 



jSIi". (iREEN. Our showin<rs are almost entirely of an airricultural 

 nature. 



]\Ir. Jump. AVe could still cooperate with other departments if this j 



lan<rua<re were cut out, and would do so wherever economical or ad- 

 vanta<reous. I never did know why that proviso was put in there.

Mr. Anderson. You projiose to cut out tlie lan<rua<re "And the i>ay- 

 nient of ivnts '' and insert in lieu thereof "in or outside the city of 

 AVasliin<;t<)n." A\'hat is the object of that? 



Mr. Green. Because the work has been considerably hampered by 

 havinjr part of our work done outside of the District of (\)himbia 

 and tlie othei- ]iai"t liere. We have our arts looms and warehouse in 

 Alexandria and our oflices in Washin<rton. and it means <;oin^ l>ack 

 and fortli with sketches and supjilies, haulino: material, and takinjx 

 jx'ople back and forth there wlio wish to inspect the work. 



^Ir. Andkkson. As tlie hin<ruao'o now stands you can not pay for 

 rental in the District? 



Mr. Green. No; we can not pay rental or salaries in the District.
