WHAT NEXT AT THE STATION

WHAIN EAI Al Iii STATION
NOWTHAT IT IS known that Ben R. Foster has resigned
his position as Director of the Experiment Station, thoughts
naturally turn to the next man to Eli that post. The Office of
the Station is one of the most important on St Croix, and it
is necessary that it be filled by a man who not only is fully
qualified, but one whose keen interest in the welfare of this
island will remain to the fore always. It is a position that calls
for vision and understanding, and the vision to make the Sta
ton one of the pivotal spots around which will revolve the ru-
raj life of St. Croix.
THE BEST POSSIBLE solution to everything would he
the prompt transfer of the Station from the Department of the
Interior to the Dept. of Agriculture which would Immediately
provide all the personnel and equipment, and the funds neces-
sary to place the Station on a level with the other experiment
stations throughout the nation. Whatever experiments are
needed would be carried out, varieties peculiarly adapted to
climatic and other conditions could be developed, and a well
planned program could be developed and carried in animal
husbandry. Wherever an experiment station is found there is
always the forwardlookng program to which farmers, big and
small, could turn for demonstration and help.
IVA ONCE SAID that what this Station needed to
do was to provide slips and the bare essentials for maintaining
the place. Nothing could be more erroneous. No doubt, be-
cause Of our peculiar agriculture we need to have the Expert
ment Station turned into a model farm and showplace. But
in doing that very thing it will also be necessary to provide
every type of example from which our small farmers could
benefit. Long ago the Station should have been providing the
service of purebred bulls and other animals. There is no other
spot SO fit to care and handle such animals, and had that been
done years ago we would have had a much better strain of
dairy cattle here today. In crossing these purebred animals
with local stock. we could have developed strains best fitted
for our purpose.
WHAT is NEEDED MOST is the change of the Station
from interior to Agriculture, but if that is not possible at pre-
, 1949-03-24

sent, then for our best inter-
ests, we look forward to a di-
rector whose wide experience
and sympathetic approach to
our problems will keep the Sta
ton in the strategic position it
holds in the life of this island.

LAW
SCHOOL FINALLY
ADMITS WOMEN

Beginning in the fall Of 1850
Harvard University will admit
women to its School of Law,
for the first time in its 1872
year history.
Harvard is one of the last
schools to admit women to its
law school. The trend started
when a woman professor, Sofa
Mentschokoff, served as visit
ing Professor in 1947-48 and
1948-49.
Other graduate schools of
Harvard, including Medicine
and Public Health have al
ready admitted women, and

Governor HASTE, who came
in on the early plane plane to-

leave on the late trip, cancell-
ed his passage and will go to-
morrow morning instead.
His Excellency conferred at
length with several officials
and also with members of the
Municipal Committee who had
requested him to come over
for important discussions on
several items of Importance.
AT the same time they request
ed his views on the incident
at the Christiansted Hospital
which involved an employee
who was allegedly taking
home some milk of the share
allotted her, and the Admins
traitor.
The Governor indicated to
the legislators that the only
system that will work is the
rule which permits the en-
ployee to eat all the food they
require, on the premises; but
that none should be taken
home. Should such a rule be
relaxed it is inevitable that
after one had eaten they would
request more to be taken home
and would make the situation
very confusing once started.
It is his feeling that to prevent
further confusion the rule
should be adhered to.
