STATE COLLEG AGRICULTURE DEAN URGES PASSAGE OF AMENDMENT NO. 8 Watts Declares Failure of Bond Issue Would Be Severe Blow to School STATES RURAL PEOI'LE IN NEED OP LEADERS Federal Appropriation Must Be Matched Dollar for Dollar By State Treasury Additional significance was at tached to the necessity for passage of Amendment Number 8 when Dean Ralph L. Watts, of the School• of Agriculture, yesterday described the curtailment of work in that school if the $25,000,000 bond issue fails to win the voter's approval on Novem ber 7. "The School of Agriculture is now operating on a minimum budget which is much below the budgets of recent years," the Dean stated. "Courses have been dropped, person nel reduced, and projects discontinued so that any further curtailment in funds would be destructive to the en tire program of the School. • Federal Funds Threatened "The rural population is• looking to the College for the development of leadership, for the 'solution of im portant farm problems, and for the continuance of the extension service in agriculture and home economics. There can be no further reduction in funds without seriously affecting the welfare of a large proportion of the population of the State," Dean Watts, added. Supported to a great extent by federal appropriations which must be matched with state funds dollar for dollar, the School of Agriculture steeds the ...sitiTer..an_ extremely ,h e a v y loss,' the Dean' revealed; 'bailing that some . money •is matched by' county extension associations with money ap propriated by the county commis sioners. Referring to. the county organiza tion of the School, Dr. Watts showed that all but two counties of the State have exension service and home eco nomics demonstrators. As the Col lege has the only experiment station in the state, he continued, the ser vice should not be dropped as, the result would be disastrous. Lowering consumer costs through the protection of farm p l roducts by research and experimental• work throughout the State, the head of the school cited an instance in which the institution saved thousands of dollars in future costs by eradicating a po tato disease Which' threatened the entire crop. Calling attention to, the fact that the majoriy of students in the School of Agriculture are from the rural sections of Pennsylvania, the Dean pointed out that thousands of . farm people over the' State will support Amendincint Number 8. 300 Freshmen Will Attend ' First I.
