experiments to arouse his interest and teach him how to apply results, 

 and propaganda work looking to the establishment of special agricul- 

 tural industries, as it does now for the farmers' institutes and for 

 branch stations. 



This added responsibility of the States was brought out in the report 

 of the committees in Congress in presenting the Adams bill, which 

 states that while the bill places the responsibility for additional work 

 upon the various stations, it u will necessitate a corresponding increase 

 of appropriation from the various States because of the additional 

 work provided for." 



This is further emphasized in the circular letter of the Secretary of 

 Agriculture, relating to the administration of the Adams Act. In this 

 the Secretary says: ""The increased liberality of the Federal Govern- 

 ment in providing for the endowment of research and experimentation 

 in agriculture should be a further incentive to the States and local 

 communities to supplement these funds for the extension of demon- 

 stration experiments, farmers' institutes, agricultural colleges, schools, 

 and courses of instruction, and the general education of the rural com- 

 munities along industrial lines, in order that the masses of our farmers 

 may be so educated from early youth that they will appreciate the bene- 

 fits of original research and experimentation as applied to agricultural 

 problems, and be able to appropriate in the most effective manner for 

 their own benefit and the general welfare of the Nation whatever 

 practical results are obtained from the work of the agricultural exper- 

 iment stations." 



In this way the greatest permanent benefit will be conferred, and 

 agriculture will more rapidly be placed upon an intelligent and scien- 

 tific basis.
