The E. Howard Hill Papers contain biographical information, correspondence, about 400 speech manuscripts, files on the history and activities of the Iowa Farm Bureau Federation, files relating to agricultural missions to South America (1962) and the Orient (1963), clippings and photographs. The bulk of the material is Hill's correspondence as President of the Iowa Farm Bureau Federation (1947-1963). It relates to farm policy supported or opposed by the American Farm Bureau Federation and the Iowa Farm Bureau. Particular issues include price controls, soil conservation, interstate roads, the Jensen-Mundt Alcohol Fuel Bill, and the Animal Disease Research Lab location in Ames, Iowa. Correspondents include: Secretaries of Agriculture Charles F. Brannan and Ezra T. Benson; U.S. Senators Allen J. Ellender, Guy Gillette, Bourke Hickenlooper, and Jack Miller; and U.S. Representatives James E. Bromwell, Paul Cunningham, James I. Dolliver, H.R. Gross, Ben F. Jensen, John Kyl, Fred Schwengel, and Leonard G. Wolf. Other correspondents include Allan B. Kline and Charles B. Shuman. Hill's annual addresses to the Iowa Farm Bureau, 1948-1963, are a major portion of the collection. They address topics such as international trade, price controls, and legislative reapportionment in Iowa. There are also transcripts of Hill's testimony before the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives' Committees on Agriculture, dealing with the 1950 Granger Farm Bill and price controls in 1951. Also included are photographs of the missions to South America in 1962 and Asia in 1963. Hill's papers also document his involvement with the various committees on which he served. There is correspondence with Iowa Representatives L.O. Weston and Ray Cunningham. There is personal correspondence with William W. Waymack of Dallas County, Iowa. Particular issues include a trip to Waymack's farm by Senator Joseph McCarthy of Wisconsin, which never materialized, and the Atomic Energy Commission on which Waymack served.
