Research Called Key
10 Farm 5urpIuses

ReSearch-not control-can be
the answer to the problem of farm
surpluses, according to Maryland's s
NO. l agriculture spokesman.
DR.. T. B. Symons, dean of the
University of Maryland College
OF agriculture, made his remarks
I'm an address to about 100 florists
and commercial flower growers at
tending a short course at College
Park yesterday.
I'VE are spending $500 million
this year for atomic research" he
said. I'VE are spending less than
$50 million for agricultural re-
search. We need to spend more
money to attack the problem of
surpluses with research.
1T should have four aims: New
crops, new uses for all crops, uses
for the huge amount of farm
wastes and residues and reducing
the cost of production.
If we can do these four things
through research, we can lick the
problem of surpluses."
DR.. Symons also is director of
the University of Maryland Farm
extension service.
The short course drew florists
from Maryland, Virginia, West
Virginia and Delaware. It is spon-
sored by the college in conjunc-
tion with the Middle-Atlantic
Florists Association.

Oklahoma Uses Subs
To Beat Kansas State
By Lopsided $50
By the Associoted Press


NORMAN, Okla, Oct. 21.-
After two weeks of last minute
victories, Oklahoma enjoyed an
afternoon of relaxation today in
whipping Kansas State, $50, to
open defense of its Big Seven foot
ball title.
The victory, before 10000
homecoming fans, was Okla
homa's 25th straight and 14th
consecutive triumph over Kan
sas State.
The ease by which Oklahoma
scored-through the air and on
the ground-was in contrast to its
hard-earned victories over Texas
Aggies and Texas which made the
Sooners the No. 2 team in the
Nation.
Oklahoma's coach, Bud Wilkin-
son, tried to hold down the score
by using 49 players. but it was
no use. The scores came as easily
as the one by Dale Crawford, a
who went 66 yards
for a touchdown the first time he
ran with the ball in a college
game.
Tally in Each Period.
The Sooners scored in every
period. The first touchdown Was
a 21-yard pass from Quarterback
Claude Arnold to End frankie
The same combination
was good for a 38-yard score with
10 seconds left in the first half.
Halfback Tommy Gray scored
twice and one touchdown each
was made by sophomore Halfback
Billy Vessels, junior Halfback
Frank Silva, sophomore Quarter
back Bill Blair and Junior Half
back Blythe Carney. Jim Wether-
all kicked four conversions.
The closest Kansas State got to
Oklahoma's goal was in the open
ing minutes when it recovered a
tumble on the Sooner 36 and Hi
Faubion ran to the %. On the
next play, Dick Towers fumbled
and Oklahoma recovered.

Sixty seconds later, a clipping
penalty, after Dartmouth took the
kickoff, set the Indians back to
their two. Walt Reich lost the
ball back of the goal line on q
handoff and Lehigh halfback Bob
Kaulis pounded on the Dart
mouth for a safety.
With q minute to 60 in the
first quarter Lehigh counted
again. Dartmouth's Bob Tyler
fumbled on his own Is and Le-
high recovered. Doyne bolted
through for a quick first down
to the 13 and Herb Weiss pitched
pass from his 20 to Doyne on
the five, who kept going for a
touchdown. Trillhass again con-
verted.
Dartmouth showed more form
in the last half and in the third
quarter scored on the strength of
Clayton's high-velocity passes.
