S. Environmental Protection Agency was created because of increasing public and governmental concern about the dangers of pollution of air, water, and land to the health and welfare of the American people. Its personnel are charged with the responsibility of alleviating, correcting, and when possible preventing problems of that nature. The U. S. Department of Agriculture is broadly concerned with all aspects of U. S. agriculture. Its personnel endeavor to facilitate the efforts of the U. S. farmer to supply food and fiber to populations at home and abroad, but always with the minimum practical hazard to the environment.
