Secretary WALLACE. Do you think of anything in particular, Mr. Jump, which it would be well to bring to the attention of the committee at this time? Mr. JUMP.

We have tried to boil it down to the significant group headings, and it would be of great benefit to agriculture, I think, to have seven men in the House who understand thoroughly the break-down of the agricultural appropriations. You hear these large total sums mentioned and there are few people who take the trouble to analyze these things by groups, to reflect the amount that goes for the ordinary activities of the Department, and the amounts for payments to the States, the amounts for roads, and so forth. ESTIMATE FOR 1936 COMPARED WITH APPROPRIATIONS FOR 1932, 1933, 1934, AND 1935 Before you go into this further, Mr. Chairman, I have some tables which I would like to offer for the record at this point, dealing with the departmental appropriations as a whole.
