Entitled: "Watchdog of senate folding room has 'crop control' of own. Washington, Since 1900 John W. 'Happy' Deards has been foreman of the Senate folding room which carries with it the responsibility of guarding thousands of volumes of Senate records including congressional records, agriculture yearbooks, senatorial eulogies, reports and books on horses and cattle. He is now wrestling with the problem of finding space for the harvest of 1938 agricultural yearbooks - 35,000 volumes - shown under his feet and all around him. Deards says the books on horses and cattle which the government published in 1892 are still the most in demand of any others in the huge collection. Photographed by harris & Ewing December 3, 1938.
