Since the Congress of the United States has recognized the value of marketing research, developmental, and service work through the enactment of agricultural marketing laws, including Public Law 733 (60 Stat. 966), and since Title II thereof embodies features of a nature akin to agricultural and regulatory service functions performed by the department, and inasmuch as financial cooperation in those phases of the marketing field is provided in Title II, it is hereby declared to be the purpose of this chapter to make possible a furtherance of intergovernmental cooperation in such marketing activities as will accrue advantageously to the agricultural industry of the state.
