AGRICULTURAL AI»PIU)PRIATI()N BILL, 1J>24. 55 



Mr. BurnxNAN. Dot's that cover nil the counties that want this 

 kind of work and are willin;; to pay for it { 



Doctor 1 in K. I woidd say practically so, under pre.MMit coiuiitions. 



Mr. Anokhson. I had a letter a few days a;x<» ir«»ni a lady down 

 in Kloiida who coni|tl:iiiie<| veiy Ititteily hetau.se slu* said that th« 

 home economics end of the j)ro|)osit ion was not receiving:' the atten- 

 tion which the county a;rricultural a;r*'»its are. She th<»u<;lit there 

 should he as much money appropriated for home economic workers 

 as for county a<::ents. \\ hat do you think ahout it { 



Doctor J RUK. I do not think that is a practical prop<»sition. The 

 counties do not feel that thev are ahle to i-ontriltute heyond what 

 they are contrihutinj; now. I'here is a con.stant effort on the part 

 of the colle<xes and oursehcs to sti!nul;ite the women's work, and 

 wherever there is a favoral)le opportunity to put in a home demon- 

 stration a^ent it is done. 



DISTRinUTTON OK FIKI.I) .\<;KNTS. 



Mr. Anuersox. How many of the state-wide Held ajrents con- 

 tribute directly to the home economic work ? 



A.ssistant Secretary Puoslky. All of them who are women 



Mr. AxuF.Rsox. That does not answer the (|uestion. 



Assistant Secretary Picsi.ky. And many of the men. 



Mr. Axi)KR.s<)X'. Tluit .still does not answer the <|uestion. 



Assistant Secretary Pr(;sLKY. We have not those lijiures. AVe can 

 insert that in the record. 



Doctor Trik. There are ahout lii") women field afjents de;ilin«j 

 with food and diet, clothinpf, household ecpiipment, etc. 



Mr. Anokrsox. Doctor True, will you put into the record or fur- 

 nish me with a statement — T do not care which — that will show the 

 distribution or classilication of the workers employed under tliis as 

 state-wide field agents ^ I supposed these county workers included 

 only county units.
