Doctor r^AUsoN. In view of the necessity for ni;id economy «>f 

 expenditure the discontinuance of the livestock work at Woodward, 

 Okla., is contemplated, except to the extent that it can be done 

 in connection with tlie adjacent dry-farmin«^ field station maintained 

 by the Bureau of Plant Industry under its sul)appropriation fyr 

 investigation and improvement of methotls of crof) pnxluction under 

 suhhumid, semiarid, or dry-land conditions.

 ive-stock proposition in addition to that ^

 imder the supervision of the nuin in charge of the dry-land farm. 



Mr. Anderson. Tluit is exactly what you propose to do anyway, 

 is it not ? 



Doctor Larson. No. The idea of the wording of this sUiicnuni 

 was to provide for the possibility of carrying this on on u smaller 

 scale and perliaps in cooperation with the State. 



Mr. Anderson. What will you do if this goes out i 



Doctor Larson. We will lie obliged to move the herd elsewhere 

 and dischar<:e the herdsmen, and tlie farm will revert to the city of 

 Woodward, Okla.
