For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Title A name given to the resource J. Horace McFarland Collection Description An account of the resource J. Horace McFarland (1859-1948) operated his horticultural printing business, the J. Horace McFarland Company/Mount Pleasant Press, from 1878 until his death in 1948. His son, Robert, continued to run the company until he sold it in 1962. The materials in this collection came from the company’s records and span most of its existence under the McFarlands’ management, from the late 1890s through 1962. The collection also contains materials from the test gardens located at McFarland’s Breeze Hill property in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Included in the collection are photographs, negatives, transparencies, 35-millimeter slides, nursery and seed trade catalogs, horticultural publications, watercolor paintings, and rose cards describing the development and cultivation of rose varieties. There is also a set of miscellaneous papers from the J. Horace McFarland Company, which includes samples of print work that the company produced. There are ten series of items, most of which are in good condition, with some exceptions. Most of the photographs in Series I are in fair to good condition, although some have been affected by the warping of their mounting boards, discoloration, or water damage. A few items retain printer’s marks or masking. Some of the glass lantern slides in Series III are cracked. Many of the negatives in Series II are seriously damaged or are in various stages of deterioration. As a result, Series II is unavailable for use until conservation treatment can be completed. There are no restrictions on the use of the rest of the collection. The bulk of the collection consists of photographic materials and images that were produced and used by the J. Horace McFarland Company/Mount Pleasant Press. Series I and II contain prints and negatives of images that were available for sale to McFarland’s customers for illustrating catalogs and other publications. Series III and V contain lantern slides and transparencies, respectively, that McFarland used in his lectures. Most of these images portray horticultural subjects, primarily plants and plant varieties along with detailed images of flowers, fruits, foliage, and plant specimens. Other subjects include garden, orchard, farm, and landscape plantings, as well as horticultural processes, such as transplanting or pruning. Many of the photographs and negatives in Series I and II were taken at Breeze Hill in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, the site of McFarland’s home and test gardens. These series include images of plants, flowers, fruits, vegetables, and trees, along with examples of early- to mid-twentieth century landscape gardening. Boxes 110, 111, and 133 of Series I contain scenic images that include early twentieth century rural life, transportation, livestock, gardens, and parks. Most of these scenes depict areas of Pennsylvania and the eastern United States, with numerous images of Harrisburg and Breeze Hill. Evidence of McFarland’s interest in improving public spaces can be found in such subject categories as “Wires and Poles,” documenting the unsightliness of telephone and electric power lines, and “Tree Butchery,” illustrating the effects of over-pruning. Series I Box 66 contains pictures of the interior and exterior of the J. Horace McFarland Company/Mount Pleasant Press. McFarland maintained high standards for color reproduction in his company’s printed materials. Series VI consists of a set of watercolor paintings produced by McFarland Company staff artists, whose job was to paint pictures of plants growing in gardens in order to represent their exact colors. These paintings were used as benchmarks to achieve precise color rendering in the printing process. The rose cards in Series VII describe hundreds of varieties of roses. They record names of rose varieties and details about their plants and blooms. Some of the cards contain historical notes regarding the origins and introductions of particular varieties. Series VIII and IX contain nursery catalogs and trade publications from the files of the J. Horace McFarland Company’s offices. Many of these were printed by the J. Horace McFarland Company/Mount Pleasant Press. Series VIII consists of catalogs from nursery businesses across the United States, the bulk of which are materials from the 1930s through the early 1960s. Series IX has several booklets on gardening, landscaping, national parks, and other horticultural topics. Several copies of the Finding-List of Plants at Breeze Hill Gardens from Series IX are housed separately in the Special Collections stacks. The original labeling and filing systems from Mount Pleasant Press have been preserved as much as possible in the arrangement of the collection. Most of the materials are filed alphabetically by plant name, variously using Latin botanical names and common names. It is recommended that researchers check for both when searching in this collection. Subject terms other than plant names are interfiled alphabetically with the plants. <a href="https://specialcollections.nal.usda.gov/j-horace-mcfarland-collection">Read more</a> Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource McFarland, J.

Many of the photographs and negatives in Series I and II were taken at Breeze Hill in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, the site of McFarland’s home and test gardens. These series include images of plants, flowers, fruits, vegetables, and trees, along with examples of early- to mid-twentieth century landscape gardening. Boxes 110, 111, and 133 of Series I contain scenic images that include early twentieth century rural life, transportation, livestock, gardens, and parks. Most of these scenes depict areas of Pennsylvania and the eastern United States, with numerous images of Harrisburg and Breeze Hill. Evidence of McFarland’s interest in improving public spaces can be found in such subject categories as “Wires and Poles,” documenting the unsightliness of telephone and electric power lines, and “Tree Butchery,” illustrating the effects of over-pruning. Series I Box 66 contains pictures of the interior and exterior of the J. Horace McFarland Company/Mount Pleasant Press. McFarland maintained high standards for color reproduction in his company’s printed materials. Series VI consists of a set of watercolor paintings produced by McFarland Company staff artists, whose job was to paint pictures of plants growing in gardens in order to represent their exact colors. These paintings were used as benchmarks to achieve precise color rendering in the printing process. The rose cards in Series VII describe hundreds of varieties of roses. They record names of rose varieties and details about their plants and blooms. Some of the cards contain historical notes regarding the origins and introductions of particular varieties. Series VIII and IX contain nursery catalogs and trade publications from the files of the J. Horace McFarland Company’s offices. Many of these were printed by the J. Horace McFarland Company/Mount Pleasant Press. Series VIII consists of catalogs from nursery businesses across the United States, the bulk of which are materials from the 1930s through the early 1960s. Series IX has several booklets on gardening, landscaping, national parks, and other horticultural topics. Several copies of the Finding-List of Plants at Breeze Hill Gardens from Series IX are housed separately in the Special Collections stacks. The original labeling and filing systems from Mount Pleasant Press have been preserved as much as possible in the arrangement of the collection. Most of the materials are filed alphabetically by plant name, variously using Latin botanical names and common names. It is recommended that researchers check for both when searching in this collection. Subject terms other than plant names are interfiled alphabetically with the plants. <a href="https://specialcollections.nal.usda.gov/j-horace-mcfarland-collection">Read more</a> Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource McFarland, J.

Non-USDA organizations whose publications are found here include the American Farm Bureau Federation, National Farmers Union, National Grange, National Milk Producers Federation, and state and local groups. While many titles are represented over a span of years, some items were not collected regularly, so only a few issues may be found in this collection. The series contains two subseries. 1.USDA Newsletters 2. Non-USDA Newsletters <h3>Subseries 1. USDA Newsletters, 1918-1996. 14.5 cubic ft.</h3> Newsletters published by USDA agencies. Included are copies of divisional newsletters such as BAE News from the Bureau of Agricultural Economics, and publications of employee organizations, such as OPEDA News, put out by the Organization of Professional Employees of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Other titles of interest include Ag Reporter (1964-1990, and scattered earlier issues), dealing with activities and general interest items for employees; Black Unity (1972-1975), a publication for African Americans within the department; and Digest of Congressional Proceedings of Interest to the Department of Agriculture, a brief, daily summary of activities in the U.S. House and Senate (1942-1982). Files of the official departmental newsletter USDA News (formerly USDA) include an almost complete run of the newsletter beginning with its first issue in 1942. In addition to copies of the newsletter, there are administrative and editorial records from 1979-1984, including budget materials, correspondence, memoranda, production files, and responses to a survey. There are also "agency fact sheets," included as inserts in several issues, 1983-1984, which summarize the history and functions of many of the Department's principal agencies. <h3>Subseries 2. Non-USDA Newsletters, 1941-1994. 10.5 cubic ft.  </h3> Newsletters published by national farmers' groups and other agriculture-related organizations, including the American Farm Bureau Federation (AFBF), National Farmers Union (NFU), the National Grange, and state and local groups. There are long runs of Farm Bureau News (1952-1991) published by the AFBF, and the National Farmers Union's Washington Newsletter (1954-1989). There are scattered issues of newsletters from some of the state branches of the NFU, including Iowa Union Farmer, Kansas Union Farmer, and Minnesota Agriculture. Of note are several publications based in Washington, D.C. that specialize in reporting on the activities of Congress, USDA, and other agriculture-related agencies.

Most classes begin at 6: 10 p.m., so everyone is home at an early hour. Nothing orn-y About Agriculture's School By Patricia Griffith Courses in photography are among the school's most popular offerings. Here instructor Elridge Purdy focuses light on a subject in a class on portrait photography. Color photography is also taught. THE GRADUATE School of the Department of Agriculture does not, as its name implies, offer courses in advanced milking or corn-growing techniques. I ts curriculum does include almost everything else, however, from automatic data processing to Mandarin Chinese, from medical microbiology to institutional housekeeping. In fact, almost everything about the school is unique. It was started 40 years ago when Congress urged Federal departments and agencies to do everything possible to promote additional training and education for their employes. Since the beginning, the Graduate School has been an independent, self-supporting agency within the Department of Agriculture. The only Government support it receives is in the form of free office and classroom space made available at the Department of Agriculture and over 20 other locations. Student tuition foes-generally $12 per credit hour --pay for staff and faculty salaries, office expenses and classroom equipment, excluding textbooks. Despite its name, it is not a true graduate school. "We do not issue any degrees," explains director John Holden. "About 30 to 40 per cent of our courses �Pioneer Programs Benefit Special daytime program for ·e xecutives on "Critical Issues and Decisions" brought Prof. Hans Morgenthau of the Univ. of Chicago here for lecture, several seminar discussions. r Statistics take on new interest when Nelson P. Guidry, below, points.out a variety of methods to illustrate the subject graphically to his students. ·~ ~ . .s) Many of the Graduate School's classes are taught in rooms scattered around the Washington area. For example, this course in lithography, which requires the use of regular printing equipment, is given at night at Gallaudet College. �Thousands are at the graduate level, another 30 per cent are undergraduate courses and the rest are non-credit." Many universities and colleges do accept Graduate School credits, however, and the Civil Service Commission recognizes them on the same basis as those of other accredited institutions. The Graduate School has pioneered in Washington education. It was the first to hold evening courses for adults. It has introduced courses in hospital administration, cartography, oceanography and statistics-that have been picked up, in part or whole, by local universities. "We render a tremendous service to the universities around here," Holden says: "We attract the hesitant student, the person who wouldn't enroll someplace else, and get him to continue with his education. After he takes one or two courses with us, he often goes on elsewhere ... so we face the constant job of recruiting new students." If success can be measured by numbers, the Graduate School has statistics on its side. Last year's enrollment was over 10,000, representing about 8000 individuals. This year Holden expects to do better. One problem he doesn't face is a shortage of qualified instructors. Out of a faculty of 325, almost 300 are former teachers and college professors who left school for Government employment. · "They still like to teach more than anything," Holden says. "We certainly give them the chance." Deputy Attorney General Byron (Whizzer) White, front desk right, tries to live up to his nickname in a speed reading class offered by the Graduate School of the Department of Agriculture.

The 1,000,000-volume National Agricultural Library is aug- mented by the Graduate School's own special collection. The Civil Service Commission accepts Graduate School credits for examination and qualification purposes on the same basis as from colleges and universities. Because degrees are not given, there is a freer choice of courses, which permits broad flexibility in arranging and selecting classes. (Many colleges and universities do accept Graduate School credits.) � Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading.
