Sir Horace Curzon Plunkett sends President Roosevelt a confidential letter containing some suggestions relating to the coordination of the Federal and State Departments of Agriculture that he suggested. Plunkett believes such cooperation would be welcomed by interested parties both within the United States and in Europe, where some departments take advantage of the publications produced by the Department of Agriculture. He suggests Roosevelt invite the various states to send delegates to a national conference held by the Department of Agriculture to help spur this cooperation. He suggests that the experience of the Irish Department of Agriculture and Technical Instruction may be of use to Roosevelt, and proposes to bring the chief officer of the department with him when he visits the United States in the upcoming fall.
