State Agricultural Agencies in 



They do not have sufficient administrative 

 freedom to undertake such extensional work 

 as I have now in mind. Their organization 

 and scope is quite unlike that of the national 

 Department. They do not have the staff of 

 trained scientific experts ; nor is it likely that 

 they will ever be provided with them, seeing 

 that the leading states are now committing 

 themselves unreservedly to the development of 

 their agricultural colleges along these very 

 lines. Moreover, with the necessary extension 

 of governmental interference with agricultural 

 affairs, these state departments will become 

 more and more a part of the government of 

 the states, and will have their attention occu- 

 pied with very extended legal and supervisory 

 functions; it will be a part of their sphere to 

 cooperate with the national Department in 

 these governmental functions.
