Anderson pointed out that there is no possibility that the state contribution to the exten sion service will be raised again until at least July 1, 1965, and this is dependent upon legisla tive action that will be taken to meet the state's financial problems in the 1965 session. On the advisory committee will be one person representing the county fair, two represent ing home economics, two for 4-H, two for livestock, one for wheat, one for water resources, one for specialty crops, one from the weed committee, and one from business. In cases where two represent one aspect, one will come from the northern part of tho county and one from the southern part. Already named to the commit tee are Mrs. Andrew Skiles, home economics (north) and Dick Wilkinson (south), livestock; Tad Miller, wheat; and Norman Nelson, weed control. Anderson pointed out that the state extension service absorbed one cut after the October elec tion, but this more drastic sec ond cut was ordered following the special session of the legis lature. It channeled through the State Board of Higher Education under whose jurisdiction the ex tension service operates. Most of the 18 agents whose work will be terminated are en gaged in 411 work.
