CLAUDE R. WICKARD
GROVER B. HILL
Two dirt farmers, with a combined experience of 54 years of
farm operation and leadership, are now in the No. 2 and No. 3
posts of the nation’s Department of Agriculture.
Grover B. Hill, who was named Assistant Secretary of Agricul-
ture in December, has been a Texas rancher and farmer since 1911.
Claude R. Wickard, newly appointed Under Secretary of Agri-
culture, has farmed a general grain and livestock farm near Cam-
den, Ind., for nearly a quarter of a century. Both men have been
associated -with administration work of the A,AA Farm Program in
recent years.
Mr. Hill, 51, was named a field representative of the AAA- in
1934, after serving on a committee which drafted the AAA Range
Program. Since 1934 he has been in charge of the range program
for the Southern Region of the AAA. During the drought of 1934,
he directed the regional cattle-buying program in New Mexico,
Texas and Oklahoma. He studied at the University of Texas from
1909 to 1911, after which he went into ranching and farming neeir
Amarillo.
The new Under Secretary first became connected with the Ag-
ricultural Adjustment Administration in 1933 and in 1936 he was
made director of the North Ceneral Division of the AAA. As direc-
tor of the division, which included the Corn Belt states, Mr. Wick-
ard stressed farmer-administration of the AAA. Mr. Wickard, now
47, has operated the same Indiana farm which was farmed by his
father and grandfather. He graduated from Purdue University in
1915 and in 1927 was named a Master Farmer of Indiana in recog-
nition of his work as a farm leader and the improved farming
practices which he followed.
