On This
Occasion
A Few Observations on Matters
Material and Immaterial by
the Editor.

Minnesota congressman are
being razzed somewhat over
their vote on the Townsend
old age pension bill which the
five Minnesota congressman
voted for. 1t is thought that
the vote of the Minnesota men
was purely political. 1t also is
generally believed that the
Townsend plan, even in its
modified form, would complete
the financial destruction of the
nation as the plan involved i'm
mense sums of money to be
paid out without any devised
method of adequate receipts to
keep the constantly growing
pension fund in operation.
Congress felt that the outlay
was altogether too high for the
amount of good accomplished.

Dean Schaub vigorously denied that
either he or the college has anything
to do with the AAA program other
than to rent office space to the AAA
administration force. But in answer to
Senator Ballentines question, he adj
mitted that E. Y. Floyd, State AAA
administrator, is also tobacco special
list under the college set-up And it
was almost unanimously agreed that
the county farm agents, working di-
rectly under the college extension
service, had been required to give half
or more than half their time to Triple
A activities.
The problem, too, of matching fed
eral funds is aggravating. Failure to
meet certain Federal regulations may
jeOpardiZe some of these funds, and
if the regulations are not met the
whole inspection tax on fertilizer may
be jeopardized, since under the Unit
ed States Constitution money cannot
be collected now under tacit agree
ment of the larger fertilizer manufac-
turers not to protest it's collection
Whether these same manufacturers
would continue the agreement under
uiIerenL pOllcy OF UlSCIlDuL1On is pro-
blematical
Personal feeling has colored the
hearings this week, with charges of
bad faith muddying the waters. c. F.
Gates, member of the board of agri-
culture, stated before the committee
yesterday that there was so much fric
ton in the college faculty, so much
professional jealousy and lost mo-
ton, and that the college was so
greatly influenced by Washington.
that he did not believe the State of
North Carolina would get value for
money expended through the col
lege. a~eh
There are plenty of headaches for
the committee left in this question,
and it's solution is not in sight.

came effective. The receipts on that
day were heavy. These and payments

session to receive reports of the

COLLEGE and the department. which the
joint committee had requested the
week before. Three reports were filed
One covered the point on which both
departments are in accord
When it came to test farms, soil
testing and markets the two groups
differed widely and submitted separ-
ate recommendations, which are sche-
duled to be studied carefully by a sub
committee of the sub committee over
the week end. The full legislative
group will meet again next Thursday
to get the results of the cogitations
On soil testing, the department con-
tends that this is a service rather
than an experiment, and that the de-
partment's fertilizer chemists can

slack period With the addition of per-
haps one agronomist and one or two
clerks the set-up is sufficient The
college group holds that this is Gre
search work. and that the equipment
and the personnel to conduct it should
be administered by the college.
Both reports carried a lot of fig
ures about the ACCESSIBILITY of match
ing federal funds for certain types of
agricultural work, and both suggested
without much hope of favorable re-
ception that larger part of the
money for agricultural research work
should come from the general fund
With all the frills and furbelows re-
moved, the difference of opinion be-
tween the department and the col
lege is essentially this
The department has the test farms
the facilities for soil analysis and
other service work and thinks that
the past record justifies carrying or
the program.
The college wants to take over the
test farms and enough money to op-
crate them, believing that the test
farm work is primarily research and
properly belongs to the college or the
central experiment station.
But it isn't that simple when the
time comes to make the proposed
transfer. The duplication and over
tapping between the department and
the college isn't anything like as COM
pick as the overlapping of Federal
and State agencies at the college and
the experiment station Experiment
station workers on Federal pay are
also college instructors on State pay.
