Abstract: Excerpt from the report Foreword: "Some Landmarks in the History of the United States Department of Agriculture" has been gleaned from the official annual reports relating to agriculture, from the beginnings in the Patent Office to date. The annual reports of the Patent Office starting with 1837 and extending through 1861, the reports of the Commissioner of Agriculture beginning with 1862, and finally the reports of the Secretary of Agriculture from 1889 have been searched for data as to significant developments. These volumes constitute a valuable contemporary record of the Federal activity relative to agriculture. It serves well as an introduction to further historical study of the aims, methods, and achievements of the Department of Agriculture.
