BACON CALLS PARLEY
TO MAP FARM RESEARCH
(contlnued from nrsr pagel

Nov we are at last privileged to
attack again our problems and
probably will be compelled to re-
double our efforts in order to retain
our standing in competition with
other sections of the country, and
it may even be necessary to develop
new plans to maintain our present
basis of farm operations.
II am most appreciative of the
opportunities now presented to our
state from the research angle. DR..
Slime has retired from active duty
with his company, and if we are
able to interest him in this inn
portant project. we will be most
fortunate indeed.
DIR. Carlson Praised
"Our university is to be congratu-
lated in securing the services of DIR.
Carlson who in the past few months
has won the confidence and admira-
tion of all with whom he has been
in contact. DR.. Carlson is most
anxious to serve our state, and to
become part of our state, and |
freely predict that he and the uni
versity will in. the near future
bring to us a university nationally
known for its engineering and agri-
cultural departments.
.Today's meeting is an expert
mental one, born largely from my
own enthusiasm of the opportuni-
ties think see ahead of us.
If our aims prove successful, we
may, as see it, hold public meet.
i ings in time to cement the interest
and work of practical farming anC
/ research development.
Governor Bacon then turned the
meeting over to DR.. Slime, com
menting that 1--WE must all appre
ciate that we will not be able t.
solve all of our problems-w ma.
mot solve any of them-but we arr
going to keep on trying and it is m.
opinion that our accomplishment
will surprise even the most enthu
siastic member of this group
