States to Aid in Agricultural Work

The department is expressing the
hope that the state legislatures VIII
give the movement a new impetus by
increasing the amount OF their appro-
priations for the work. This years
appropriation by states aggregated
s3O1,7SO. Indiana appropriated an
average amount, $4,000. New York
led. with $4,000; Iowa was second.
with $4,000. and Wisconsin third,
with 100000. The department points
out that to the 1901, 780 should be
added the amount used by the sew
eral states for extension work from
the farmers institute fund, of which
no separate account was kept.
From the standpoint of the federal
government, agricultural extension Is
a business proposition. 1t undertakes
to do for men engaged in agriculture
what proprietors of mills and manu-
factories are striving to accomplish In
their business-the conservation OF
waste, economy of effort and mate
rial, and an increase In the output
with reduced expense. 1T strives TO
do with and for man that which
manufacturer desires to have done for
his machines-improve 1t that 1t may
turn out more and better quality OF
products" says Prof. John Hamilton
of the office of experiment stations.
