‘RESEARCH' IS FERTILE FIELD FOR ECONOMY Duplications and Countless Probes in Agriculture Department Aired. BY RAYMOND CLAPPER United Press Staff Correspondent (Copyright. 1933 by United Pres*) WASHINGTON. Jan. 13— Critics of what is sometimes called the j “research racket" cehter much of fire on the duplications and countless investigations in the department of agriculture, which run into millions of dollars a year. Mere listing of all items would be impossible in limited space. Even items on which more than SIOO,OOO was spent last year can not all be listed. In an organization spending four billion dollars a year a SIOO,OOO item is small change though it v/ould take a man working at SSO a week almost forty years to earn that much. It is more tha nthe average man earns in a whole lifetime. . Here is a skeleton outline of ex- ] penses last year within just one government department, revealing the number of investigations and the duplication of work that goes on among several bureaus, all operating under the secretary of agriculture and supposedly consolidated into one unified working unit of the executive branch. Overlapping Work Shown These particular figures show to what an extent federal funds are expended on investigating insects. | The insects are investigated by first one branch of the agriculture de- ; partment and then another. First, important expenditures in ; the entomology bureau: Fruit, and shade tree insect* $400,000 Truck and garden crop insects.... 375,000 Forest, insects 199.000 Cereal and forage insects 483,000 Cotton insects 208,000 Insects affecting man and animals 140,000 Household and stored product.* insects 116,000 Taxonomy and interrelations of insects 206.000 j Meantime the bureau of plant industry also is busy, spending money as follows: Barberry eradication $ 302.000 j Blister rust control 471,000 j Cereal crops and diseases 548.000 Cotton production and diseases., 208.000 Dry land agriculture 339,000 Forage crops and diseases 257,000 Foreign plant introduction 209,000 Forest pathology 209.000 Fruit and vegetable crops diseases 1,307,000 Rubber, fiber and other tropical plants 126.000 Sugar plant investigations 372.000 Western irrigation culture 173,000 i More, and More, and More Expenditures of less than SIOO,OOO each were made for these items: I Botany, citrus canker eradication, drug and related plants, gardens j and grounds, genetics and biophysics, mycology and disease sur- j vey, nematolegy, phony peach eradi- j cation, plant nutrition investiga- 1 tions, tobacco investigations and root rot investigations.
