We have heard some shght criticism of State College, that it was not 

 getting into this work as broadly as it should. I am not a State College 

 man, and we are some distance from State College, but I can appreciate 

 the handicaps that State College has had. State College has had prac- 

 tically no consideration from the legislature of Pennsylvania up to this 

 last session. I think that our state representatives and senators now are 

 fully awake to the state needs of agricultural development. The appro- 

 priation at the past session was very much increased, and I hope at the 

 next session it will be five times as much. 



Dean Watts, of State College, Pennsylvania, is with us today and is 

 going to talk on '' Market Conditions." . The criticism of Mrs. Smith 

 was not directed towards Dean Watts at all. He has labored under han- 

 dicaps and has done a remarkable amount of good. I believe the time 

 is coming now when he is going to get a great deal more money and a great 

 deal more help, not only from his own college, but from the representatives 

 of Pennsylvania and from other associations down here in Philadelphia. 

 I take great pleasure in introducing Dean Watts, of the State College.
