FEDERAL FUNDS 



Most of the Federal funds used in farm forestry extension are made 

 available under section 5 of the Clarke-McNary law. A smaller 

 amount comes through the Smith-Lever law. Table 9 shows all the 

 Federal funds used and the expenditures, by years since 1915. The 

 principal Federal fund (Clarke-McNary) is supplemented by an equal 

 amount of State money. In total amount for the entire period shown

 Federal moneys expended. Most of the Federal appropriation is used 

 in payment of part of the salaries of State extension foresters, who are 

 the leaders in the extension programs in farm forestry in the 33 States
