PREFACE.

The first edition of this work, published in 1908, supplied a need
for a convenient compend of the law affecting the Department of
Agriculture. Until its publication the laws applicable to this depart-
ment had not been brought together. To ascertain the law on any
subject affecting the department necessitated a search through the
Revised Statutes, the Supplements thereto, and the Statutes at Large.
The former edition of this work embraced all legislation in effect on
July 1, 1907, or to and including the Fifty-ninth Congress. That
edition is now obsolete in many respects by reason of subsequent
enactments by Congress, including new legislation or provisions
repealing or superseding earlier provisions.

The present compilation collects and presents all laws affecting the
Department of Agriculture, permanent or not clearly temporary in
their nature, in force on August 27, 1912, including the enactments
of the second session of the Sixty-second Congress. The work repre-
sents the results of a carefid and painstaking examination of the
Revised Statutes, the Supplements thereto, and the Statutes at
Large. Provisions in various acts and riders in agricultural and
other appropriation acts have been extracted and preserved. The
work embraces not only provisions of law relating specifically to the
Department of Agriculture and its various branches, officers, etc.,
but also all provisions relating to the public service in general and
incidentally affecting, or applicable to, the Department of Agricul-
ture. It was deemed convenient to classify the subject matter on
this general basis^, notwithstanding the fact that many sections of the
work relating to the public service in general, and affecting the
Department of Agriculture incidentally, treat of the same subject
matter as sections of the work relating specifically to the department.
The provisions of law are arranged according to subject matter
under appropriate general headings. The classification of the sub-
ject matter, owing to its heterogeneous character, is necessarily arbi-
trary in many instances. Provisions related in subject matter have
been placed in juxtaposition without regard to time or order of
enactment. Acts and parts of acts deemed inapplicable to the De-
partment of Agriculture, or which have expired or have been repealed,
or for which substitutes in express terms are provided, are omitted,

and matter directed by amendatory acts to be added, inserted, or
substituted is incorporated and accompanied by explanatory notes.

The purpose of the present work is to present the text of the law
as it now exists. No change in the language has been made without
express and statutory authority. In cases where doubt exists whether
acts or portions of acts and sections of the Revised Statutes are
superseded by subsequent provisions both the earlier and later provi-
sions are set forth with explanatory notes. In some instances it
was deemed necessary to include portions of the context not in them-
selves applicable to the department, but necessary to complete the
sense or indicate the intent or purpose of the portions directly
pertinent. In many acts and portions of acts and many sections of
the Revised Statutes incorporated in the work, parts thereof are
omitted as inapplicable to the Department of Agriculture, and such
omissions are indicated by the insertion of asterisks. Where entire
acts are incorporated they are set forth, as far as consistent with the
logical arrangement of the work, as entities ; but where they treat of
more than one subject they are divided and the different sections or
provisions are set forth in parts of the work where they respectively
fall. Separate provisions relating to similar matters are correlated
by reciprocal notes. Many incidental matters which may aid in con-
struction are explained by notes.

Acts or portions of acts are preceded by citation of the date of the
act, the chapter, and the page of the Statutes at Large on which the
act begins. Where entire acts or the first portion of acts are set
forth, the legal title of the act is given. At the close of each section
of the work taken from the Statutes at Large is a note in small type
citing the date of the act, and the chapter, section, and particular
page of the Statutes at Large on which it occurs. Sections of the
work taken from the Revised Statutes are preceded by the citation of
the corresponding section of the same. Sections, paragraphs, or
provisions of the Statutes at Large and sections or portions of sec-
tions of the Revised Statutes are preceded by headings indicating
their import.

The insertion of the copious explanatory notes and the very com-
plete index, it is believed, will add to the convenience and value of
the work.

It was deemed advisable to insert, in the appropriate parts of the
work, (he text of the agricultural appropriation act for the fiscal
year ending June 30, 1913, though its provisions are in general tem-
porary in nature.

A list of the citations to the annual agricultural appropriation acts
of the Department of Agriculture has been appended.
