u. Of NJ, Tells of
Need Stipend for
Experimental Work

The Importance and value of the
work that is being carried on by
the Maine Agricultural Experiment
Station at Orono was stressed before
the committee on agriculture at a
hearing Wednesday afternoon on a
resolve appropriating the sum of
S23 600 for each of the two coming
fiscal years to be expended under
the direction of the Maine expert
ment station. The speakers present
ing the case We're DIR. Clarence G..
Little. president of the University of

tor of the Station: w. II. Conant,
Of Buckfield, member of the Expert
ment Station Council; John r. Le-
land of Sangerville, and Commits
sioner +. p. Washburn Of the Maine
Department Of Agriculture, also
member of the Council of the Ex-
pertinent Station.
President Little pointed out that
the resolve for $4,000 for each of
the two years for the Experiment
Station is divided as follows: Cen
eral maintenance. $4,000; person.
mel, $1,000: special investigation and
equipment, $4,000. He declared that
the Station is now faced with the
need of assistance and II the re-
solve is cut down it will be 'neces-
sary to discharge some Of the men,
bers Of the staff. I'VE are not try
ing to expand our force: we are just
trying to get the station to the con-

clared President Little.

terday with the addition of the 70

ure that are to be found there.

work is undertaken without the ap-
protal of the Council. THE ex-
pertinent station covers q field not
covered by any other agency in the
State" he said.
He showed that today over one
half Of. the funds expended IN the
State for experimental work comes
from the Federal Government ana
that unless the States funds are con-
tinued it will mean a discontinuance
of some of the work and material
losses in Investigations.
w. H. Conant of Buckfield stated
that two years ago the Legislature
was asked for $4,000 for mainten-
ance and upkeep of the station, that
the amount was cut to $4,000, and
the station was forced to get along
without an entomologist, who is
needed all over the State.
Commissioner Washburn told of
the close cooperation between the
Maine Department of Agriculture
and the Maine Experiment Station.
He declared that the expert workers
are very much underpaid. and that
the station now needs chemist and
an entomologist to bring it up to
il pre-war efficiency.
President Little of the University
also spoke in favor Of the resolve
ropriating $1,000 for each Of the
two coming fiscal years for scientific
investigation in animal husbandry,
the resolve for $1,000 for each of the
two years for the maintenance OF
Highmoor Farm in the town OF
Monmouth to be expended under the
direction of the Maine Agricultural
Experiment Station Council, and the
resolve appropriating $1,000 for each
Of the two years for scientific In

lent work that Is being done in In
vestigations in animal husbandry
under the direction OF professor
Gowen, who is In charge OF that
work..
Act to Require Bulls to Be Hinged
THE act to require bulls one year
and over to be ringed is really q SER
ious matter" said Representative
George c. Wing. Jr.. OF Auburn, VINO
introduced the measure. representa-
tive Wing said that he had introduc-
ed the bill at the request OF one OF
his townsmen who purchases bulls 10
sell in the markets, knows or the
dangers in handling them and In MS
dealing with cattle has met un-
friendly bulls.
Representative Edwin A. Loweii OF
Lincoln said that he believed that
every bull should be ringed before
1t is one year old for the safety Of
the public and the safety of the
owner as we'll. He pointed out that
a bull under one year of age Is ap-
parently a kind pet and is very sell
dom cross and vicious, but the bull
can be handled much easier If ring
ed. If the bull is not hinged before
one year old the owner Is apt TO
NEGLECT it and you cannot put any
trust and confidence in a bull, ne
said.
There was no opposition to any OF
the matters taken up at the commit
tee hearing yesterday afternoon.
