It has not been the intention, either, to present the relations of 

 National and state agencies on the basis of rights, but rather on the 

 basis of such an adjustment of effort as shall best promote efficient 

 service by both those agencies and shall cultivate, on the part of the 

 agricultural people in all sections of the nation, a sense of responsi- 

 bility, both individually and socially, for their own progress and wel- 

 fare. The immensity of the demand for effort in conserving and 

 developing the material resources of this nation can hardly be exag- 

 gerated and this effort requires the united service of all organizations, 

 both National and State. But we are confident that there is a wise 

 differentiation of function on the part of the various agencies, and a 

 regard for local spirit and development, that must be kept in view if 

 the interests of all the people are to be most efficiently promoted.
