C. Powell, President of the Chicago and Eastern Illinois Railway Company, to the Twentieth Semi-Annual Meeting of the American Railway Development Association in Chicago on December 6, 1928. The speech argues that industrial and agricultural conditions have changed radically, so development agents require advanced knowledge spanning chemistry, engineering, manufacturing, merchandising, and farming operations. It emphasizes aligning modern practices with production, consumer demands, traffic and transportation conditions, and the role of fair freight rates in securing profitable traffic for rail carriers.",{"@graph":14,"@context":72},[15,34,55],{"@type":16,"itemListElement":17},"BreadcrumbList",[18,23,27,31],{"item":19,"name":20,"@type":21,"position":22},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",1,{"item":24,"name":25,"@type":21,"position":26},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":28,"name":29,"@type":21,"position":30},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/research-report/","Research & Report",3,{"item":32,"name":10,"@type":21,"position":33},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/meeting-new-conditions-inagricultural-and-industrialdevelopment/322189/",4,{"url":32,"name":10,"@type":35,"image":36,"author":41,"headline":10,"publisher":44,"fileFormat":47,"inLanguage":8,"description":12,"dateModified":48,"datePublished":49,"encodingFormat":47,"isAccessibleForFree":50,"interactionStatistic":51},"DigitalDocument",{"url":37,"@type":38,"width":39,"height":40},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/meeting-new-conditions-inagricultural-and-industrialdevelopment/322189.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":42,"@type":43},"Jiven","Person",{"url":19,"name":45,"@type":46},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-09-23","2026-09-21",true,{"@type":52,"interactionType":53,"userInteractionCount":26},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":54},"ViewAction",{"@type":56,"mainEntity":57},"FAQPage",[58,64,68],{"name":59,"@type":60,"acceptedAnswer":61},"Who delivered the address and when/where was it presented?","Question",{"text":62,"@type":63},"T.

\nRemarks ofMR.T.C.POWELL,Before theTwentieth Semi-Annual Meetingof the  \nAmerican Railway Development Association,Congress Hotel,Chicago,December 6,1928.  \nMr.Chairman and Gentlemen:  \nI am very glad to meet the members of thisAssociation again,because I have always takena great deal of interest,not only in the industrialand agricultural development of the road withwhich I may have been connected at the time,but also in the development of the United States.  \nNational development and even internationaldevelopment must be of interest to each memberof this Association,and particularly so at thistime and in the immediate future.  \nConditions are not only changing from year toyear,but in the last few years elements con-nected with industrial development are .radi-cally different from those in the past,and call fora more advanced knowledge on the part of thedevelopment agents and engineers.  \nI believe that you are putting very earnestthought into your work,and the evidence of this  \nis shown by the comprehensive program for thismeeting.  \nThe line of demarcation between the Indus-trial Agent and the Agricultural Agent is fadingout.In fact,I might say that the IndustrialAgent of 1910 must have graduated into an engi-neer and chemist in order to be successful,butthe Agricultural Agent must have not only aknowledge of farming but some knowledge ofmanufacturing and merchandising.  \nKnowledge of Briefly,the Industrial Depart-Chemistry.ment of a railroad must eitherhave within its ranks the nec-  \nessary talent or must be able to secure the serv-ices of chemists,engineers,manufacturers,merchants and farmers.I use the comprehen-sive term“farmers”to cover all those operationsconnected with the soil,ranging from the truckfarmer cultivating a few acres to the operatorsof thousands of acres producing grain,fruit,vegetables,cotton,hemp,etc.  \nI shall use the term“Development Agent”ascomprehending all the above attributes ratherthan the terms“Industrial Agent,\"\"IndustrialEngineer\"or“Agricultural Agent.”  \nKnowledge ofThe Development Agent mustManufacturing be now,more than ever,an ad-Conditions.visor of the manufacturer.Hecan not let him drift nor,in-  \ndeed,permit him to locate if the prospects areunfavorable.  \nAs Dr.Julius Klein,of the Department ofCommerce,has said with respect to the inde-pendent merchant一  \n\"The man whbo is unwilling or unable to takeadvantage of new metbods or new developmentsmust,of course,risk ultimate failure,just astoday the farmer who attempts to cut bis grainwith a cradle scythe could not bope to competewith the man who uses modern barvesting ma-chinery.”  \nSo the Development Agent","cbCailt4pMvlCGB3","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCailt4pMvlCGB3","pdf",617408,17,"English","# MEETING NEW
