Pearson, president Of Iowa state COL

Arts. told the Conference in q plea for
increased agricultural research. "New
methods for reducing cost of produc-
ton, the better distribution of farm
products and better methods Of market
Ing are sorely needed at this time,' he
said.
DR.. II. d. Ball, director of the scien-
tifc work Of the Department of Agricul-
ture, said the United States was ap-
preaching a condition OF adverse 1000
balance and must decide whether to re-
tain n proper ration between agriculture
and industry or permit the latter to take
n dominant lead Mt the expense OF the
former. The Nations balance between
the two fields of endeavor will be lost,
he warned, unless the tendency toward
industrial dominance "is made one of
the major problems for national consid-
eration.'
