Many Uses Advocated As guldeposts along the parts of research, congressional sources refer red to manufacture of starch from potatoes, alcohol motor fuel from corn, highway surfacing from cotton sugar from apples and to a whole field of possible discoveries. While applications for the labora tories were piling up in the agricul ture department from .virtually every state, congress, which had authorized but made no appropriation for the program, pared the amount It was willing to spend to only 100 ,000 and specified this be used for a survey of sites and to determine the scope of the research.

"cnrt a Cord to Show You Cure" SWEM'S Greeting Cards state experiment stations and present regional research projects, so that "grievous mistakes" might result from starting the program now. Farmers Would Pay ' Some congressmen reasoned the research money would come out of the pockets of the farmers, anyway. since It would be taken from the soil conservation appropriation. Agriculture department authorities, puzzl'fd as to where to locate the laboratories on was to be In each "major crop producing area" had an Intimation of congressional In tentions from Senator Miller (D. Ark.), who said It was assumed one would be In each of the corn, cotton and wheat belts and one so located to take care of other products, Including apples. Apple growers h o wever, con t e nded recen tl y t ha t they produced a "major crop" and that a special laboratory should be set up to handle their problems. State rivalry for the stations be came more apparent when Senator Bilbo (D., Miss.), early proponent of the research Idea, painted a glow ing word picture of his state's ad vantages as a site for a cotton lab oratory, which he said should be started now. Mississippi stood ready to provide 9700,000 toward the pro ject, he reported. Solon Raise Cry "How about Texan?" and ' "How about Arkansas?" other ocngressmen Immediately asked, urging selection of their own states. Assorting the research should be on a nationwide basts. Senator Con nelly (D Texas) said he did not agree the government should "auc tion off the project to a community from whtch It can get the most swag' In connection with the loca tion of a laboratory." Bilbo said he believed science would be able to find unough uses for cot ton Ilnters "so that we will not need any control program, and 130.000,000 people will bo able to utilize no' only 30.000,000 bales of cotton every year but 30,000.000 bales." 10 SEEK INDICIINI News o4-H H CLUBS (By Ruth Weems.)
