EXPERIMENT FARM MUST HAVE MONEY EXPERIMENT FARM MUST HAVE MONEY
Griffin Georgia July 9 Special The meeting of the board of directors of the state experiment station was of utmost importance with harmony. Director DeLoach appeared and expressed bright prospects and board support for his reorganization plans. A legislative committee was appointed to seek increased state funds to meet federal directives and continue scientific work. Dr B W Allen of the national agriculture department warned that continued federal aid depends on full compliance and use of the $20,000 annual national contribution solely for experiments. The board pledged to pursue needed appropriations and to reorganize the station into a more scientific farm focused unit with new projects, including an animal husbandry department led by Prof Perry Van Ewing.
