Mr. AxDKiLsox. Of course, this is the first vear when there has Ihmmi 

 anv reduction of the total fund available, i:? it not ^ 



Nir. CniMSTiK. Ves. Last year the funds were redistrilnitcd on 

 the basis of the last census. The result was that in Indiana we went 

 down on our percentajre of rural population, and therefore we ^ot a 

 less amount from the Smith-Ix'ver fund and the supplemental fund, 

 niakin«^ the total amount received fi'om both funds a fi'w hundicd 

 dollars less than the previt>us yeai', even thou^di the Smith-Lever 

 fund had increased. 



Mi-. -Vnukksox, The converse mi^dit be true in other places. 



Mr. CiiKisTiK, That is true. When you take States like Ohio, 

 Indiana, Iowa, and Illinois, some of the bi<r States that are con- 

 tributinjr in a lar^re way to the agricultural pioducts of the country, 

 we have leceived for this year but little more money that we received 

 the year before. So if any cut is made in the supplemental funds the 

 work will be seriously impaired. If the supplemental funtl is placed 

 at $l,r>(M),000. these States will receive practically the same amount 

 of money they had last year. In some of the Western States they 

 have received a little more money, but they need it. They have 

 been <rettin«r a few hundred dollars out of the supplemental fund 

 because of the small rural population, and yet they have a tremen- 

 dous j)roblem in their development work, whicli is makinjr for better 

 a«:riculture in the country. We are not c()mj)lainin<r bwause they 

 have <iotten that money. We hope they can «j:et more. They should 

 have all possible consideration.
