FEDERAL AID AND INTERFERENCE.

Suggestions for the amendment of the federal agrcu
tura law known the SmhLever act include one that
would enable the state agricultural colleges and the
ty organizations to direct the work 1t asked in the
recent farmers convention tha the department of agr
culture conne its activities to correcting fragrant abuses
or misdirection of work. Farmers who believe in agri
cultural education believe also in local initiative with al
minimum of federal interference.
The New York Evening Past learns that friction is de-
veloping between federal officials and certain state agr
cultural colleges Protests have been made by Dean Dav
EXPORT of Illinois, and Professor L. H. Bailey of Cornell
of the tendency of the administration to all state
action by rule and precep and to deny to the colleges the
right to adapt their work to local conditions Professor
Bailey fears that the present policy means that the adj
mnistraton hopes to make agricultural work into proJ
