Congressman U rout's speech on tho bill
II. H. U!:i3) to estalillsli itKrlculturnl ex
periment stntloni In connection with tlio
colleges established In the sover.il Stales
tinder the provisions ot an act approved
July 'J. 1S(W, was as follows:
Mr. Speaker: 'I'ho Legislature- of tho
Statu which I have tho honor to represent
n part on this lloor at Its recent biennial
session adopted a joint resolution relative
to the hill now under consideration, pi
.luesting the Vermont senators and rep
resentatives In Congress to lend their aid
and Inlluence tosecuro the passage of the
-iniil bill.
This resolution expresses tho sentiment
of a people engaged largely in agriculture :
'i people who Inhabit a tract of laud t lie
original fertility of which drew to It a
lardy set o pioneers in the latter haltot
the last centuryimmediately upon tlio
lose of the Krcncli mid Indian war.
.Hence much of this land has been under
cultivation bometlitng more than a liun-
lred year's and as the result ot that waste
'ul husbandry 1 mean wasteful of the
resources of the h-oll Incident to all new
couutrtcs, it Is n fact, sad but true, that
he green hills of Vermont are not now
. green as once they were.
A hundred jears and moro of constant
sroppinc, with no adequate return of the
'Sleinents of plant food to tho soli, has
dapped much of It of a great sharo of its orig
inal fertility. Ksiiecinlly is this true of tlio
lill-sldes and the hill tops. The bottoms
mil the hollows, not a largo portion of the
vhole area of nictitate, are in better con
lition, but still somewhat. worn. In short,
he time has come in tho history of Ver-
nont farming when if there is anything
u agricultural chemistry ino Vermont
"armer needs the benefit of It. The time
las come when a hap-hazard system of
sroiiniuu and ot lertuiziug lor tlio crop
jring results altogether too uncertain for
successtul husbandry. And what is thus
:ruu of Vermont is equally true of all
New Kticland and ot the Middle States
also, and, in fact, of the whole Atlantic
seaboard, from Maine to tho Gull of Mexi
co. Not only this, but it is rapidly be
coming true of the newer States through
out the great West.
In ail the older nortions of tho country
she time has come when tho problem Is
no longer what it was when the soil was
lirst, brought under cultivation, nnu was
still loaded with that rich mold which the
vegetable growth and decay of centuries
had lei t upon it. Then the planting and
the harvesting were the oniy conditions
of the crop. Now the question ot lertlli
intion has become a leading one. and in
volves not only the inquiry of how most
-ximplctely to save tne waste irom tue
farm and transfer it without loss of quali
ty to the soil, but how to supplement this
lome-made fertilizer with such commer
ci..l elements as may be necessary to pro
vince in perfection a given crop : or per
chance to supply the particular ingre
dients n which the soil may bo wanting.
and lit it for a prolitable production of ali
jrops.
Now, this is the great question to-day
with the tillers of the soil in all the older
States of the Union ; and in undertaking
o solve this question they pay millions of
louars every year ior commercial lerunz
irs. And right here a question arises
vhlch is vital not only to tlio farmers but
.o the whole country, lor H the larmlng
.ndustry suffers every other industry suf
.ers with it; and that is, is this
ast outlay profitably made ? The answer
to this question depends upon whether it
.s .lnilerstauilingly mado; whether it is
made with special reference to the neces
sities ol the soil. It depends, for instance,
ipon whether that soil requires nitrogen,
nitrate of sodium, potash, phosphoric acid,
or super phosphate of lime my chemistry
fails mc to go through tho entire list
and whetheijits particular wants are sup
plied. Now, all this belongs to the domain
ol agricultural chemistry.
But what does the average farmer know
of agricultural chemistry? Confessedly,
nothing whatever, anil as the result he is
proceeding at random and may be paying
MO, perhaps $S0 per ton for a fertilizer,
when one costing one-half or .a quarter
as much would answer the same purpose
in producing a crop; for it is sometimes
he case that the chemical condition of the
3oil is such that it needs only some simple,
Inexpensive substance to set free the
wealth of plant food which it already con
tains, but which is so locked up by some
other substance as to render such soil un
productive until a chemical change is pro
duced by the union of these two sub
stances. Hut to know nil this one must
vinderstnnd.chemistry, must possess the
expensive apparatus tor chemical analy
sis, and must have command of much
time to bestow npon experimenting.
Hut every one knows that these, things
are wholly out of the question with the
average farmer. Kvery one knows that
he is without knowledge of chemistry
and has neither money nor time for experi
ments. In his struggle to pay off the mortgage
upon his farm and feed and clothe and
educate his children he has all and fre
quently more than he can do.
Nevertheless, this Information is esseni
tial to his success ; and how is ho to ac
quire it ? How, except from the agricul
tural experiment station, such as is pro
vided by this bill, to which he may send
'samples of hia soil for analysis and from
which he may learn the relative value of
fertilizers and their adaptability to the
wants of his soil f The work of the ex
periment station is educational in charac
ter, and upon every principle of sound
public policy entitled to the support of the
stale.
Talleyrand, prime minister under the
great Napoleon said :
Uoth education and agriculture ought
to be assisted by government ; wit and
manufactures will come of themselves.
Now, while the American people, fol
lowing, in part, the formula ot this noted
French statesman, find themselves fa
mous for "u plentiful lack of wit," they
can not bo said to have left manufactures
to themselves. Under a very liberal pro
tective tariff, consistently maintained lor
now more than a quarter of ft century,
the manufactures ot this country long
since left "the day of small things." The
manufacturers ni goods from Iron and
jrass and copper and cotton and wool, and
of lumber and other staple articles are
among the wealthiest citizens o the re
public while the labor employed in these
manufactures is well fexl nud well clothed
ami housed, as a rule is contented and
happy.
Nor are the products of agriculture
wholly without protection, but I assert
not as well protected, practically, as are
tho manufactures of tho country. Tills
is not because the rate of duty .is relative
ly lower, but because our markets are
not exposed to any such volume of tho
products of husbandry as of manufactur
ed articles ; or, in other words, because
'he American people are by ft largo foal
auco exporters of farm products, as will
more fully appear before I close, whereas
we are Importers of manufactured arti
cles ; and our tariff system works protec
tion only against imports.
But the principle of protection for
American Industries and American labor,
though perhaps bometimcs dllllcult of ap
plication In a way to protect every Inter
est equally, is nevertheless esseutlally
helpful to the development of our re
sources ns a nation, and, because of the
general prosperity which it uroduces, it
confers certain indirect benefits upon the
agricultural classes which they are un
willing to relinquish, and ns the rcsultthe
agricultural sections of tho country, as
well as the manufacturing districts, stand
resolutely by our protective tariff. Such,
at least, is the cose with the people I rep
resent. But, I repeat, the agriculture of this
country does not share equally with our
manufactures In the direct benefits of the
tariff ; and In tills fact alone 1 llnd ample
justification for the puH-tage of this bill,
winch, it w 111 ue ou-erveii, noes not gram
direct noeunlarv aid to agriculture, hilt
still materially assists it by'furnishlng the
necessary lnlorniaiion wnereny me winner
may tne better act ms pan, nuiKe lower
mistakes, and suffer less Imposition, es
neciallv In the nuichiise mid application of
commercial fertilizers. Nor is the Infor
mation proposed to lie furnished by itcon
Ilnedtothe sublect of feitlllzation alone.
Section U of tho bill Is us follows:
Sec. 2. It shall be the object and duty
of said experiment stations to conduct
original lesemches or verily experiments
on the physiology of plants and animals ;
the diseases to which (hey are severally
subject, with the remedies for the same ;
the chemical composition oi useiui piams
it their t liferent stages ot growth ; the
comparative advantages of rotative crop
ping as pursued under a varying series ol
crops ; the capacity of new plants or trees
lor acclimation wiinin tne isouicrmiu
limits represented by the. cllniato of the
several stations and their vicinity ; the
analysis of soils and water ; the chemical
composition of nnnures, natural or nrtlll-
clal, with experiments designed 10 lest
their comparative effects on crops of dif
ferent kinds ; the adaptation and value of
grasses and forage plants ; the composi
tion and digestibility of the dillerent
kinds of food for dome-tic animals ; the
scientific and economic questions Involved
in the production of butter and cheese ;
and such other researches or experiments
bearing directly on the agricultural Indus
try of the United States as may in eacli
case be deemed advisable, having due re
gard to the varying conditions and ueeds
of the respective states and territories.
Now here Is provision for experiments
entering into every department of agricul
ture. And section Ji provides as follows
for giving to the public all Information
gained trom these experiments :;
Sec. 3. That in order to make the re
sults of the work of said stations Immedi
ately useful, they shall publish at least
once in every three months bulletins or
teports of progress, one copy of which
shall be sent to each newspaper in the
states and territories in which they are (
respectively located, anil to such Individ ,
uals actually engaged in farming as may
request the same, and as far as the means
of the station will permit. Such bulle
tins or reports and the annual reports of
said stations shall be transmitted in the
mails of the United States free of charge
for postage, under such regulations as the
postmaster-general may from time to time
prescribe.
section 0 authorizes mi annual appro
priation of jl!i,000 to each state and terri
tory for the establishment and mainte
nance of an experiment station theiein
and the promulgation of this Important
information. Does some one ask why this
should be done at the public expense ? It
so, then 1 answer, for the reason that on
all accounts the public is interested in a
thrifty, progressive agrioulture. For the
reason, also, that those engaged In the
toilsome pursuit of cultivating the soil,
from which only small profits are realized,
are entitled to the assistance which this
information would furnish them ; infor
mation not otherwise within their reach
and valuable to them beyond all propor
tion to the expense of it to the govern
ment. And not alone valuable to them,
but valuable to the government itself ; for
by how much the agricultural lands ot

plenty and tne rate oi interest lower.1
Does some one say this is magnifying too ,
much our agricultural products in the
trade ot the world ! Let us see. 1
In ,1880 the total expert of domestic : pro-)
ictions lrom the United Slates was -s'.'i.-'
!U(!,353, ot which the products of the larni , 13 l"a 111111 luwns llro rcsponsl
were i(iS5, Wl.U'Jl, or 83.:J5 per cent ot the I ulu for t,,u malfeasance of their clerks,
whole amount. t Large liability is thussometltnes incurred.
Th nk of that a moment. More than 1
four-ilfths of all! we sell to foreign conn-,
trie.s.is the product of agriculture. And
remember that as with the individual so
it is with us as a nation; we are rich, r, I
notbv what we produce and ourselves
consume, but by what we sell to the other
nations of the earth ; for that and that
alone draws from their supply of cash and
adds to our own. Surely in an economic
point of view alone it must be for the in
terest of the American people to foster and
keep thrifty nn industry which enables us
in our trade with the world lo keep a bal
ance constantly in our favor. And who
will say that an industry ot this national
consequence is not worthy ot national
protection f Who will say that it can be
sately neglected in the administration of
the affairs of thegovernment ? Who will
claim that it is sound public policy, saying
nothing ot what is lair, to leave to its own
struggllngs the agriculture ot this conn
try. with a' soil every year growing less 1
fertile and consequently more dependent ,1.,le s;eum Is used direct from the locomo
upon the mysterious aid of chemical qual- Uv.0 boiler through a presure reducing
ities which it does not possess, as well as a 1 v.nlyo "nil a strain of five pounds Is car-
more thorough cultivation ; all of which
depends In turn upon more hard work
and a moro careful inquiry into the secret
operations of nature, including the occult
question of plant food and the mystery of
plant growth r
I say. who will claim that an industry
in which centre such vast possibilities of
wealth, not because of its extreme profita
bleness, but because it aggregates the
small individual earnings of just about
one-half our entire population : an Indus
try involving so largely the questions of
demand and supply, of taxation and labor,
and trade and llnauce, and whoso province
it is, through its vast army ot hard work
ers, "to keep and dress the eatth,"and
gather the fruits thereof for all men ; who
will say. in short, that this industry, es
sential alike to the success ot government
anil the support of the race, is not enti
tled to tne small assistance auorded oy
this bill i
Mr. Speaker, this is one of the most im
portant measures, if not the most im
portant, which has engaged the attention
of this Congress. It takes by the forelock
the problem which Is now perplexing the
older nations of the earth, and which soon
er or later will be brought home to the
American people, namely : How to sub
sist a dense population upon land that has
been a long time cropped. It will not be
forgotten that population Is a prime ele
ment of empire.but witli population conies
always the problem of food and raiment
and shelter And that legislation is wisest
and best which deals with these questions
fundamentally and lu a way to prevent
threatening dangers rather than wait till
those dangers ripen. The experiment
station, assisted by chemistry, tlio hand
maid of agriculture, In looking into the
hidden processes of nature, which work it
is set to do, can hardly fail to glean Infor
mation, and, perchance, make discoveries,
which shall overcome nature and make
her contribute in some new way to the
wants of man ; and possibly In a way as
notable as did the live schools of chemis
try to which Napoleon, under the advice
of Talleyrand, assigned the duty of Ilnd
ing out how to make beet-sugar, offering
1,000,000 francs to the chemist who should
succeed, which Btralghtway brought suc
cess ; and to-day more than one-half the
entire sugar product of the whole world
Is made from tho beet.
But suppose no great victory like this
attend the work of these experiment sta
tions, they must still tesult in adding, to
some extent at least, to the agricultural
products of the country.
Dean Swift, one ot the ablest and most
original of Knglisu writers, said "that
whoever could make two ears of corn or
two blades of grass to grow upon a spot
of ground where only one grew before
would deserve better of mankind and do
more essential service to his country than
tho whole race ot politicians put togeth
er." Mr, Speaker, this occasion gives everv
member of this house a chance to take
himself out from among Dean Swift's
"race ot politicians" and perform an "es
sential service to his country" by voting
lor this bill. If we would "deserve" well
ot the American people we shall do it.
