He came to Ft. Atkinson with his family in July, 1851. After attending the University of Wisconsin, he assisted his father on the family fruit and dairy farm near Madison. A Republican, he was a member of the state assembly, 1883 - 1885, and was appointed State Superintendent of Public Property in 1889 by Governor Hoard, and state Dairy and Food Commissioner in 1895. It was as head of the latter commission, 1895 - 1902, that Adams earned a national reputation among agricultural leaders. Active in the movement for more effective regulation of pure foods, Adams helped to enact a Wisconsin law providing for strict food standards. He was elected to Congress in 1902 and served from 1903 until his death in 1906. He was influential in the enactment of federal agricultural and pure-food legislation, and also obtained increased appropriations for agricultural experiment stations in 1906, and facilitated passage of the Roosevelt meat inspection bill and pure foods act. He was recording secretary of the Wisconsin Horticultural Society (1886 - 1888) and president of the Wisconsin Dairymen's Association (1887 - 1889). 0. Print. Book Condition: VG.
