The jjidposed roor«^aiii/.atioM of tiu' cxteii.sioii work is shown on 

 this ihart |('\hihits another chart 1. It calls for the transfer of some 

 of the other work, other than extension, ns yon see. The Secretary 

 is asl\in<r for the creation of a director of extension work, anil pro- 

 poses to ])Iace un(h'r that <lirect(»r of extension work thos** oHict-s in 

 the depai'tnient which are exten>ion ollices, nuniely, tlie oflice of the 

 cooperative extension work, now in tlie States Kehitions Service, and 

 tlie oflices of exliihits and motion ]»ictures. n()W in the Division of 

 riil>lications. In athlition. he ex|)ects to charge tijat diiector of 

 extension with the conehition of all the extension work of all of the 

 various luireaus. askin«r the hniean chiefs to rejjort thronjxh the 

 director of the extension to him on all matters of extension woi-k. 



Mr. Andkksox. Do you expect to continue extension work- iiii.l'-i- 

 the hureau as well as under this director of extension? 



Assistant Secretary Pigslky. Some hnreans are char«rcd with cer- 

 tain extension work, as you will note as you ^n) throu'rh the appro- 

 l)riations. In addition, most extension work is of a more or less 

 technical nature and must have technical direction. But those linens 

 of extension work will clear throu<j:h the director of extension, so 

 that they will he correlated, and so there will not he duplication in 

 the huioaus. At the [jresent time there is'nohody outside of the 

 Secretary's office who can do that sort of thinjj:. In other words, 

 these three extension offices of the department are, in effect, the 

 avenues throupfh which the extension work of the hureau is cleared. 

 We really have no thin<is to extend except those tiiinjrs whirh <n'v/i- 

 nate in the .scientitic hureauii of the dei)artment. 



The reor<j:anizati<m i)roposes to put under the director of scientifio 

 work tlie Office of the Expei'imental Stations. 



The i)uhlications of the department may appear at first plance to 

 he extension. They do furnish an avenue throu<rh which the de- 

 partment can <ret its information to the })uhlic, hut puhlications are 

 of tluee different types. There are those j)ul)lications which are 

 hi«rhly technical and which are puhlisheil for the information of 

 other research woi'kers. The director of scientific work and the re- 

 search people of the de|)artment are therefore tremendously inter- 

 ested in that type of i)ul)lit'ation. and in a sense that type of puhlica- 

 tion is not entirely extension. 



Likewise, there' must he puhlished a lar^'e number of re^rulatory 

 announcements. They do not need to po to the public in <reneral : 

 they only need to «ro to the re^rulatory offices out in the States. 

 Those are not extension, in the pMieral sense of the word, and they 

 shouhl clear throu^di the office of the director of regulatory work. 



The farmers' bulletins and po|)ular i)ublications should dear 

 tlironL'h the office of the director <d' extension work. Rut since this 

 eililorial work affects the three lines of work in the ih'partinent — 

 .scientific, extension, and re^ndatory — it has seemed l^est to place the 

 otlice of etlitorial work in the Secretary's office, where we will liave
