Hoover was also known for his humanitarian efforts during World War I, leading relief efforts in Europe and earning a reputation as a skilled administrator.

I have the honor to transmit herewith for the consideration of Congress an estimate of appropriation for the Federal Farm Board for $151,500,000, to be immediately available, for commencing operations under the provisions of the Act…
The details of this estimate, the necessity therefor and the reason for its submission at this time are set forth in the letter of the Acting Director of the Bureau of the Budget which is transmitted herewith and with which I concur.
After many years of contention we have at last made a constructive start at agricultural relief with the most important measure ever passed by Congress in aid of a single industry.
