He cited exneriment stations, that leadership comes from the experiment stations to the USDA. “It is proper that re search be paid from public funds,” he told the group that filled the Grand Ballroom of the Brunswick Hotel. The ex tension service—organized in 1914 —is the farmers’ research division, he added. Since the greater percentage of farming has been converted to tractor farming, some 50 million acres have been diverted to pro viding feed for people. Under agricultural programs, Mr. Stackhouse continued, soil saving is encouraged, the proper use of soil is emphasized. It pro vides an orderly, adequate, bal anced flow of farm products to market. The Soil Bank, he added came too late. “Water will be the limiting factor in future agricultural and industrial expansion,” the USD A official warned, draw ing a closer parallel with farm ing and industry: The Soil Bank, like industry, shuts down part of the “plant.” It may not apply locally, to Lan caster County, he continued, but all programs must be figur ed on a national basis.
