Excerpt: ... COOPERATION OF THE STATIONS WITH THE DEPARTMENT. During the past year there has been an increase in the amount of cooperation between the different Bureaus and Divisions of the Department and the State experiment stations, and much of this work has been put on a more permanent basis. The amount of such work might undoubtedly be still further increased with beneficial results if the resources of the stations would permit. Since it is the policy of the Department to manage these cooperative enterprises so as to preserve the autonomy of the stations and recognize them as the public agencies directly dealing with the agricultural problems of their respective States, it is unfortunate that in many cases the stations are as yet unable to devote themselves to such work as largely as they would like through lack of funds. An increase in the funds granted the stations would enable them to adjust their relations to the Department in these matters on a more satisfactory and efficient basis.
