This was an ad hoc arrangement to increase cooperation between the Army and the Navy (with regard to procurement), it was established by the Council of National Defense (which on its turn came into existence by the appropriation bill of August 1916).
During World War II, the organization that was charged with transforming the United States economy into a wartime economy was the War Industries Board (WIB). The War Industries Board was a government agency group formed in July 28, 1917. They were the ones that coordinate the purchases of war supplies between the War Department (Department of the Army) and the Navy Department. Because of what they do, they made the economy more into spending their money on things for war than other items. They made the U.S priorities the War.
Prominent crops included cotton, rubber, corn, sugar cane, tobacco, figs, rice, kapok, sisal, and species in the genus Indigofera, used to produce indigo dye.
