HEARINGS BEFORE COMMITTEE ON AGRICULTURE. Heya 
The Cuarrman. Then the expert at $600 is Professor Hayes? 
Mr. Woops. Yes; the expert at $600 is Professor Hayes; he is the 
only one on our rolls recorded as an ‘‘ expert.” 
The Cuarrman. They are on your lump-sum roll? 
Mr. Woops. Yes. Wecarry most of our investigators on the lump- 
sum roll. 
The CrarrMan (reading). ‘‘Curator;” what is he? 
Mr. Woops. An assistant in the herbarium. We have a lot of them, 
and they have to carefully press, and dry, and mount specimens. 
The Cuairnman. ‘‘ Four laborers.” 
Mr. Woops. One of them is watchman of the building, one of them 
is in charge of the file room, one of the old laborers; he is really doing 
clerical work. Another one is working in cooperation with the botan- 
ical office over in the seed laboratory. ; 
The Carrman. ‘‘One assistant at $600.” He is an assistant of 
what? Is he a student assistant? 
Mr. Bowrs. Then four laborers at $720; after that comes one assist- 
ant at $600. 
Mr. Gatioway. These lists are not made up accurately at all, they 
were made up last July. 
The Cuairman. There are a lot of people there you class as laborers. 
‘“‘One laborer at $600, one laborer at $480, one laborer at $60 per 
month, two laborers at $50 a month each, one laborer at $45 per month, 
one laborer at $15 per month, and two laborers at $1.50 per day each.” 
Are those your outdoor men in your experiment work? 
Mr. Woops. A number of them are on the Arlington farm and 
some on the flats. They are men that are hired sometimes for one 
month and sometimes for two months. Some of them we use in our 
field work all over the country 
The Cuarrman. You do not transport a man from here? 
Mr. Woops. No; we pick him up on the field. We are not allowed 
to carry a man on our rolls longer than thirty consecutive days. If 
we want him longer. than that we have to get him from the civil 
service. 
Mr. Gattoway. Some of those are off of the rolls now. 
Mr. Woops. At the Tennessee station, for example, the agriculturist 
there, who is in charge of our cooperative work, is appointed as col- 
laborator at $300, and he is one of those $300 assistants who is spoken 
of here. Then this one laborer at $60 per month is employed in the 
Califoria laboratory, and the two assistants at $50 per month are act- 
ually laboratory assistants, one in pathology and one in the herbarium; 
and the two at $50 per month, one is at the subtropical laboratory 
and the other is at the Pacific coast laboratory; the one laborer at 
$45 per mouth is on the Arlington farm; the two assistants at $40 per 
month are employed, one at the subtropical laboratory, and one is 
employed here in Washington as the assistant of the cereals, and we 
have one assistant at $25 who is employed at the Tennessee station in 
connection with the field work. 
The Cuarrman. That is probably in addition to some other salary? 
-Mr. Woops. No, it is all he gets. He is only employed a part of 
the year. Then we have one at $25 here who is doing our illustration 
work—drawing for us. Then we have one laborer at $15 who is a 
charwoman; and we have two laborers at $1.50 per day, one of whom 
is on the farm and one on the flats, temporarily.
