were resident teaching, extension
work, and operation of expert

to fifth in farm income, it is 44th
in the appropriation for agricul-
tural research. Agriculture, he
said, cannot progress without re
search. When agriculture Is
healthy, the entire people are In
healthy economic state. -
Estate college is your institu-
ton Just as much as your local
high school," he said. at can give
better instruction if it has funds
for research work which cannot
be done by individual farmers.
The present appropriation IS
about one-fourth Of that neces-
sary to make use OF matching
available federal funds.

face in North Carolina" he said,
adding that farm resources were
unexploited because of the lack

present administration to be a
fairer share of the returns. from
raw materials for the producers,

trial income is four times as large
as. farm income although So per
cent of the people make living
on the land. ,..-.....

be done through adequate re-
search. Cd, -.
