Book excerpt: Excerpt from Proceedings of the Tenth Annual Drainage Convention: Held at Washington, North Carolina, March 31 and April 1, 1920 I failed to make a statement which I desired to make: Mr. A. F. Lever of South Carolina is here and is on the program for tomorrow morning. Mr. Lever was a member of the House of Representatives for 18 years, and during about six years of that time was Chairman of the Committee on Agriculture and was considered one of the best equipped chairmen of that Committee who has ever served. He was Chairman of the Committee at the time the Agricultural Extension Bill was passed, a law which I think is the most constructive law that has ever been passed by Congress in the interest of agriculture. He endeavored to have passed just before he went out of the last Congress a bill framed along the line of the Agricultural Extension Law in the promotion of rural sanitation and health. I greatly regret it did not become a law. About six months ago Mr. Lever was appointed by the President a member of the Federal Farm Loan Board, upon which, since that time, he has been serving with distinction. That is only preliminary to the statement 'i was going to make: Mr. Lever is on the program for tomorrow morning and I would suggest that every man who lives on the farm or who-is directly or indirectly interested in agriculture be out tomorrow morning to hear Mr. Lever. If I were a farmer, knowing Mr. Lever as I do, I would subject myself to some inconvenience to attend. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
