Washington (State). Dept. of Agriculture. Records of the Washington State Department of Agriculture, 1883, 1903-1963 (bulk, 1911-1955).

Title: Records of the Washington State Department of Agriculture, 1883, 1903-1963 (bulk, 1911-1955).

The records of the Dept. of Agriculture are rich in detail about the history of Washington state agriculture in the twentieth century, the personalities involved, and the tasks levied on or assumed by the Dept. Coverage of each division is included, as well as special categories like "Reclamation/Irrigation 1918-1955," the "Emergency Farm Labor Committee" of the World War II era, and "Marketing." One summary piece concerning the Canadian Wheat Tariff dates back to 1883, but this is a rare exception. The State Agriculture Regulatory Commission (boxes 22-25) acted under the authority of the Agricultural Adjustment Act (AAA) which functioned to control production and set prices for agriculture products under the New Deal Administration of Pres. Franklin D. Roosevelt. The Washington State Reclamation Service (boxes 31-33) was established as part of the Dept. of Agriculture. E.F. Benson was commissioner of agriculture and under him were Marvin Chase (chairman of the State Reclamation Service), C.V. Savage (secretary of the State Reclamation Service), and Elbert M. Chandler (chief engineer of the State Reclamation Service). Chase was the state hydraulic engineer and a commissioner on a par with Benson (commissioner of agriculture) in 1919. The disagreement concerning bureaucratic "territorial turf" between Chase and Chandler that is evident in these papers is why Chase's correspondence is filed in the collection.
