<br />AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH
<br />COMMITTEE REPORTS
<br />TO CONGRESS
<br />The report of the Agricultural
<br />Research Committee was pre-
<br />sented to the Agricultural Ap-
<br />propriation Committees of both
<br />Houses of Congress. Ira Husky, a
<br />member of the committee from
<br />Oklahoma, came down to Wash-
<br />ington to make the presentation.
<br />While the report was very favor-
<br />ably received, it is doubtful if We
<br />can expect a very substantial ap-
<br />propriation to initiate this pro-
<br />gram this year. On the other hand,
<br />the agricultural research recom-
<br />mended by this committee is ex-
<br />tremely important if we are to
<br />maintain a high level of agricul-
<br />tural production in the irrigated
<br />West. It is something that N. R. A.
<br />should keep always in mind.
