Executive Order 5635—Authorizing the Appointment of Arthur B. Landt

Mr. Arthur B. Landt, who has been employed as a temporary field agent in the Farmers' Seed Loan Office, Department of Agriculture, at Grand Forks, N. Dak., since April 30, 1930, may be appointed in such position without reference to the civil-service rules for the duration of the work in that office. Mr. Landt has had 38 years' banking experience, 28 years of which he was president of the First National Bank of Northwood, N. Dak. By reason of his familiarity with the financial and farming conditions in the northwest section of the country, his services have been invaluable to the department in connection with the seed-loan activities.

This order is issued upon the recommendation of the Secretary of Agriculture.
